A few of my favorite blogs

Simply Sugar and Gluten Free: I know I've mentioned this blog before, but I'm mentioning it again anyway!  Amy posts daily recipes for delicious food that is free of gluten (barley, wheat, rye and any derivative of these items) that also avoid copious amounts of cane sugar.  She's revamping her site and her cookbook is hot off the presses, so go check her out.  I can't wait to get my copy in the mail!!

 

 

 

 

 

SouleMama: This blog is simply beautiful.  Amanda is one of those bloggers who writes posts that bring me to a place of calm and reflection.  She is an amazing crafter, knitter and mother who's stories will bring a smile to your face even if you're not one of those things yourself.  In fact, my knitting life  is lived entirely and vicariously through her blog.  (I am as inept with two needles as I am with a guitar.)  She also has written a couple of books and her sponsors are nearly all small, independent businesses that sell handmade items.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simple Mom: This site's tagline is: "Life hacks for home managers." and it's true.  The articles on this blog are insightful yet to the point.  I learn a lot in the ten or so minutes it takes to read these posts that are chock full of helpful tips on everything from cleaning and organization to budgeting and spending meaningful time with your family.  I purchased Tsh Oxenreider's book, Organized Simplicity and am excited to begin implementing some of the practical strategies she writes about. It's always nice to read a book written by someone who realizes what real life with small children and a busy house is like! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sound on the Sound: This is one of the best Seattle area music blogs out there.  The writers are smart and intriguing.  Their featured song, poster and show links are a great place to get started digging into the Seattle music scene.   I love that they feature a poster, which is often the first thing I check out when I go to the site.  I'm working on a collection of show posters so I always enjoy seeing what the designer/art world has been busy creating.

What are some of YOUR favorite blogs?

There is still good

With all the nastiness in the news these days, I am excited to inform you of something wonderful at work right here in  Seattle.

 

 

Team Up for Nonprofits  is the Seattle music scene's answer to the calls for help from area organizations in need.  Founded in 2009 by  event producer Ryan Hodgson and a group of music industry colleagues, Team Up's mission is simple: " To build capacity for nonprofit organizations by cultivating a new generation of engaged supporters through the power of music and social media."

Here are the details of their latest show:

Thursday, January 13, 7:30pm at  The Triple Door.  Doors open at 5:30pm.

Featuring  Star Anna with special guests Justin Davis of Star Anna and The Laughing Dogs as well as Kris Orlowski's band featuring David Wellnitz and Andrew Jocelyn of Handful of Luvin', Lerin Herzer and more with the Passenger String Quartet.

I had the pleasure of hearing Kris Orlowski play solo at the last Seattle Living Room Show. Not only is he an extremely talented musician, he's a down to earth and decent human being as well.  

That being said, tell me this: what could be better than spending your hard earned money on amazing music and helping a non-profit do their work?
