  8. Hi Meg!

    I visited the Juici Life, which was super cute... AND she just got a blog award which is fun... AND she has what seems to be a pretty awesome "bucket list" that she blogs about. So cool.

    Also I stopped by Well, Shut the Front Door! which is absolutely hilarious. Loved it.

    Also I left you a little shoutout on my newest post...

  10. I visited Spirals and Spatulas (it's her bloggy birthday!) and Cant Google Everything (she needs to rethink her views on lace tights and thongs lmao)

    This fall i'm looking forward to wearing cut layers and eating sweet potato pies :)

  12. Hi Meg - thanks for hosting again!

    I've spent some time on Starfish (Throw it back), as Emily's first post had me in stitches! The story on her choice of blog name suggests that she's both funny and deep. An excellent combo.

    Spirals and Spatulas is also super-cute (Happy blog-thday!). Katie has some fantastic (future) decorating tastes and I always like hearing about others' newlywed-ness.

    Top of my Christmas list? Although unrealistic and completely unattainable: A Michael Kors white ceramic watch. *sigh

    ReplyDelete
  13. It is my first time here- I found you through Lady Bloggers Society. Great idea with mingle monday! IYou have a great blog, and today I also visited Dani's blog, which is a fun read! Thanks for this!

    ReplyDelete
  14. This is our second week visiting Mingle Monday and it is so much fun!

    Today we stopped by

    1. Throw the Starfish Back, and her post about being a good patient was really wonderful to read...sometimes we have to be reminded that we are not the only people in the world and that we are in public!

    2. Books & Shoes, and it was so cute that she was adopting a small orange cat...orange cats are very big with the Poor and Fabulous Girls!

    Favorite fall activity...how can you choose just one?!?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Back again!
    Hope all is well with everyone...

    Today I checked out Hello, Kendra, and let me tell you how much I love her layout!! It's adorable. She's reading the Pretty Little Liars series which I want to try, myself. And, her daughter and pup are precious!!

    I also visited a pretty plethora, who apparently just emerged from a birthday weekend unscathed and has her readers pining for details of the events.

    My favorite fall activity is breaking out the hoodies and toe socks. Seriously. I also love bonfires even though I havent been to one in ages- sad face.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Happy Monday, everyone! I just checked out Mangoes and Chutney and, boy, am I glad I did. It's a great blog for foodies and features some amazing recipes. I can't wait to try some of them out.

    I also checked out Books and Shoes. Love her new little kitty and the fact that she's a voracious reader. I, too, like to read so I think I'm gonna keep her blog on my radar so I can find a good book when I'm looking for something new to read.

  17. I visited Creative Flair and enjoyed her paintings. I am just starting this adventure so looking forward to learning and seeing many kinds of paintings.

    I visited several other blogs, too. Lots of younger bloggers here...love that you all enjoy writing!!!!!

  18. Hi! This is my second week participating, and I love it :)

    I checked out Creative Flair - which was a truly inspiring site - she is such a talented artist.

    I also checked out Poor and Fabulous. This blog is great! Some great reminders that money can't buy happiness thrown in with great humor and some fun pictures. I really liked it1

    My favorite fall activity is baking with fall flavors like pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla bean, etc.

    This week I visited:
    *Mangoes & Chutney: Yowza! Such delicious looking food & recipes . Can't wait to try some out!
    *Books N Shoes: Simply adorable blog that showcases her happy family!

    Looking forward to reading more from both blogs!

    And at the top of my Christmas wish list would be a trip to an exotic locale with my husband!

    Kimchee CHronicles- I love blogs that make me smile and nod or shake my head and her latest post was just that. hahah. She seems to have a witty and fun sense of humor which I LOVE although I sometimes often lack in my own blog. NOnetheless it was a joy to stop by. If it werent for Megs mingle mondays what in the world would we do??

    Btw. You will learn a lovely term BLOGGETTE on one of these blogs so go check out both to see which one I am referencing :).

  21. Well, Hi Ms. Meg!

    I found two blogs that I love this week- but call me crazy, I could not find a follow button on either. Maybe someone can help me:

    The first one I loved was "stay calm, have a cupcake"

    I will admit, I don't love baking but I'm pretty inspired to give it a go from her wonderful recipes

    Mangoes and Chutney...all I can say is yum! So excited to try out some of these recipes.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Happy MOnday! Today I visited:

    -A pretty Plethora: I loved all the cute images and her quick-hitting factoids to get to know her. Also, anyone that appreciates the genius of nacho libre is pretty ok in my book
    - You just can't Google everything: I totally loved her letters to no one. I have these kinds of thoughts about idiots all around me to. Hilarious!
    -Shout out to Mingle Monday here: http://www.poodleism.com/2010/09/ask-and-you-shall-recieve.html
    -Top of my Christmas list? Set of tires. Boring.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hey Meg! Just put a link to Mingle Mondays on my latest post!

    So, first I checked out Hello Kendra and she has a really cute layout.

    Then, I checked out Theresa's blog "In Line for the Real World" and I loved seeing all her up close and personal pics of the zoo! She's a great photographer!

    As for Fall favorites it's hard to say considering it's 105 degrees today! My favorite activities are burning fall scented candles from Bath and Body and eating pumpkin everything because that's as close to "feeling Fall-like" as it gets in L.A.!

    ReplyDelete
  24. This is such a great blog hop! I stopped by LOTS of blogs, as many as I could.

    Keeping up with Courtney - She seems like a genuine sweetie, and recently won a "blog with substance" award- well deserved!

    Stopped by The Words of Me Project - Very creative and inspirational. Looking forward to reading more of her posts!

    And my Christmas list?? Hmm... I'd like a new lens for my camera!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hey Meg! I'm back for my second time at Mingle Monday. Found two new great blogs I can't wait to keep up with! :)
    The Amateur Wife (that I can relate with, only being 9 months 'in' myself...) was just adorable!! I read a charming recap of her wedding day and I felt like I was there.
    I also stopped by Twenty-Something in The City and was pleased to find out she was visiting my old stomping grounds, Minneapolis. It really is a small world. :)

    Check out my blog Houston Hurdles at

    Hope you have a great week!!

  26. Hey Meg, I am visiting from Juici Life where Jessi mentioned this fabulous idea of Mingle Monday. After I sign myself I visited "A Pretty Plethora" and now I know there other people out there that like to constantly quote movies, LOL!
    Also I visited "You just can't google everything" simply because the title is very eye catching, love both blogs.

    Visit my blog anytime where I share everything and anything about my life, family, dogs, and my life in the tropics...

    and

    Stay Calm, Have a Cupcake - I just found a new cupcake to try! Deeelish!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Happy Monday! I visited Poodlism - which left me wishing for fall weather and Spirals and Spatulas (happy blogiversary)! Both had super cute posts and were a fun read! Love Mingle Mondays!

    First - OK, Dani is so cute! I'm a huge fan of wedding bands, and it's exciting that she's getting so close!

    Second - Houston Hurdles is an adorable blog! She and her hubby are too cute!

    Third - Star's Pink Blog is right up my alley. I love all things pink and her blog design is precious!

    Fourth - Casa de Cowan has an adorable blog layout and I'm excited to try her recipe for caramelized onions! Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I stopped by Twenty Something in the City. Her post was just for us Monday Minglers and it was about her carry on essentials. I loved this post because I'm always curious as to what other people carry and maybe get some new ideas.

    The second blog I stopped by was DC Dating Divas. I loved reading this blog. All I can say is "Mr. Wonder Bread: Airy and of Little Substance". Hahahaha...I will be an avid follower of reading about the dating adventures!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yay for Mingle Monday! I am so happy that I have had some new visitors today!

    I visited Poor and Fabulous, and I loved the writing style. Added them to my favorites list!

    I also checked out Northwest betty, who takes great pictures and leads a lovely life. Definitely making return visits. :)

    For fun, I also checked out You Can't Google Everything - loved the letters to no one.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I linked up my wedding (Classic Puppy Love) and personal blog (Just Another Smith), so I visited four!

    1) I stopped by My Semi-Charmed Life. I love her honesty as she writes about the 30 Days of Truth.
    2) Amanda & Don. What a beautiful blog layout! And I just love her two "horses"!
    3)Spirals and Spatulas--Happy Blogiversary! Lol. We have so much in common, and her blog is super cute!
    4)The Amateur Wife. She's starting her wedding recaps (squeeeeee!)

  40. I love Mingle Mondays! I read some fantastic blogs this week!

    First I read Theresa's "In Line for the Real World" OMG she is an amazing photographer. She took these amazing pictures at the zoo. The one of the giraffe could be the cover of a magazine. It was incredible.

    Then I read Such Life in the Tropics. First of all, I am totally jealous that she lives in the Caymens. Need I say more? She has the cutest pup and has a great blog.

    I read one more... Classic Puppy Love. I already follow Just Another Smith, and I had no idea Smitty had a second blog! Too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  41. thanks for hosting this!!

    So firstly I visited Amber from "the Fate of Amber".. I totally respect your admiration and love of Hanson.. But that's totally a side note haha. Her blog is really cute and she's doing a 30 day truth challenge and that was really interesting to read.

    My second blog was Northwest Betty and I loved this blog- especially her last post. I love bloggers that incorporate pictures and she had some really cute/original ideas. Definitely a follower now!!

    See you ladies next Monday!!

    xx, dee
