Some things I’ve been bookmarking in the blog haus this week:

  1. I like to add fish to our diet so look forward to trying this recipe for salmon skewers from Sprouted Kitchen
  2. Like shoes and fonts, you can never have enough time-saving tips
  3. I look forward to the Monday menu board at m-dashing
  4. A dash of inspiration ~ oh joy talks about goal-getting!
  5. Can’t wait to try out the Mextures app [+ how-to here]

Because you can only add so many blogs to your reader, I thought I’d revisit a few favourites today with some posts that I’ve bookmarked for later reading, reminding and responding. These in particular come from the starred folder in my Google Reader [I'm can't give it up yet, still living in denial].

  1. Julie [tractorgirl] promised me her ciabatta recipe and this week she delivered. Can’t wait to try it this weekend.
  2. Love Bri’s [designlovefest] advice on thinking of original ideas
  3. Watching Susannah [ink on my fingers] talk about your finding your way online. “Forget the wisdom.” Such great advice.
  4. Yummm ~ espresso mini muffins with chocolate ganache [tasty kitchen]
  5. Thinking about starting a productivity journal [time management ninja]

PS. You’ll have to excuse my tardiness today, have been investigating the new flickr ~ have you checked it out?

Last time I asked you to tell me who was in your neighbourhood, and tell me some of your favourite blogs. And now I have some new addresses to explore.

So first up, no surprises why I was drawn to Melissa’s suggestion Carla Coulson from Carla Loves Photography. One, photography, and two, Melissa had great things to say about her.

Carla Coulson is living the dream ~ making the switch to full-time photographer, travelling and now living in Paris.

Now she runs workshops, does portrait sessions and magazine work, and sells some of prints in her shop [you can see some of them above]. And blogs.

She also has a fantastic blogroll which I look forward to making my way through as well.

who’s in your neighbourhood?

red goes faster

Throwing it over to you today to tell me who’s in your neighbourhood.

I haven’t added many new reads to my list lately so I’m asking you to hit me with your favourite blog right now [because like most things this can wax and wane with the seasons].

It might be a blog, it might be one post, it might be your blog. Maybe a friend has started a new blog or you’ve recently stumbled over something fantastic.

Share a link or shout-out in the comments. I’m always on the lookout for fresh inspiration.
