As we get ready to get into weekend Festivities (or maybe just plain old Activities), Friday posts will be devoted to blogs and websites worth checking out, money-saving ideas, book recommendations and the like. Please leave a comment with your recommendations, too!

The first blog I recommend is by Sandy, http://www.reluctantentertainer.com/. Sandy is a mother, wife, and wonderful hostess. She writes about sharing one’s home as a way to share love and life and make connections with others. One lovely post is about the Balcony Girls, where Sandy has “given back” and invested in the next generation. Read the post here http://www.reluctantentertainer.com/2007/09/balcony-experience.html. You just might be inspired to create your own group of Balcony girls!

Another blog worth checking out is by Melissa at http://theinspiredroom.net/. The photos are beautiful, and Melissa describes her blog as “a happy mix of realistic interior decorating, simple homemaking, & inspiration for authentic living.” Melissa reminds us that “the measure of a good life isn’t how perfect our home LOOKS or how many projects we accomplish.” Go be inspired!

The last Casual Friday recommendation is for http://www.wisebread.com. My favorite section is the Frugal Living section, http://www.wisebread.com/topic/frugal-living. From philosophical questions to tips for frugal living, there’s something for everyone!
I wish everyone a wonderful Friday, and I challenge you to do something today that you’ve never done before. Let us know how it goes, and I’ll be sure to post about my new event, too!
Love,
Nif
