Edenland's Meme - sharing the blog love



I was looking forward to the weekend to see what Eden has in store for her meme this week. I love a blog flog, I love sharing and I especially love sharing the good stuff. When I stumble across awesome blogs I want to tell everyone I know to have a look! So I was chuffed to see this week’s Fresh Horses Brigade is about sharing the blog love. And when Eden asks me to collude, I collude. So here are four of my many faves:

Eden from Edenland – cheesy that I mention Eden I know, I have unashamedly blurted my undying love admiration for her since like, forever. Ok 6 months. Eden is the most real blogger I know. Real, raw, real. She doesn’t mince words, she calls a spade a spade, and does it with wit, intelligence and street smarts. Every single post finds me nodding and agreeing. And every time I read her words I walk away feeling enlightened and that tiny bit smarter. I learn a lot from Eden. *gush over *

Cate Bolt – this woman, who calls herself ‘ordinary’, inspires me like no other. She steps up to the plate and acts, she isn’t sitting around wishing to change the world, she IS changing the world. My son recently decided he wanted to donate some of his pocket money to an orphanage that Cate founded in Bali, I was so proud. Proud that Cate has devoted her life, time, energy and resources to help those less fortunate and proud that my child gets it. We need more like her.

Deb from Home Life Simplified – this woman speaks my language. Home. Life. Simplified. I am all for simplifying and my home is my haven. Deb is full of simple, common sense knowledge and tips for creating a harmonious home starting at oneself. I like that, I strive to take responsibility for my environment and Deb encourages that. Deb’s teachings will go far, she is years ahead of her time.

Sonali The Foodie Physician – anyone that loves food as much as me gets my attention. Throw in some fabulous food photography and she has me eating out of her hand! Sonali is friendly and super smart (she is a doctor, hello!) and I find myself wanting to try every dish she posts. I love that she has found steam through her love of food and is following that passion. She inspires me to do the same.

Ok so your turn. Don’t forget to head over and check out other bloggers over at Edenland. Colluding with Eden. My weekend is sorted.

    1. Cate is just amazing Deb, she is changing the world with her generosity and vision. I love her work. As you can imagine I have a soft spot for Indonesia, so the work she does in Bali touches my heart. xo

    I was *itching* to come and start seeing everyone's links this weekend, but had to concentrate on my guyos. Love your linky! How utterly fricking amazing is Cate Bolt? I want to rob banks and give her all the money.

    Love the blogs you listed ... and thank you for the kind words you said about me! I seriously shrink when people say nice things about me, need to shoosh as soon as possible. (But thank you, you lovely lady xx)
