SHOUT OUT LINKY

First of all, I KNOW that I need to change my blog design over because Christmas is over. I am having a hard time letting go,okay? 

So, I'll do this instead-
My friend, Lisa over at Growing Firsties is co-hosting a monthly linky party and I LOVE the idea! Lisa is one of those sincere bloggers with great blogger etiquette- I remember her kindness since I started blogging. Thanks for co-hosting a great party, Lisa!

This is a tough one! 
Here are the rules:
This Linky Party has 3 components:

1. Link a post where you have given two shout outs to two bloggers that have inspired you. One blogger with fewer followers and one  with more followers than you. This seems obvious, but please make sure you give links to those inspiring posts/blogs so others can be inspired, too!

2. Please let the two bloggers you are shouting out know that you're doing so. Leave a comment on their blog - maybe on the post that inspired you or on their post dated closest to when you link up. They'll most likely want to know what it was that inspired you to give them a shout out. :)

3. We love Farley's "Rule of Three" which means that once you link up, please comment on the posts of the two previous bloggers that linked. Then, come back later and comment on the post of the blogger after your link.

One of those blogs that I have been following for over a year, under my teacher account (now I'm following her under my blogger name, too!) is  Beg, Borrow Steal. This girl rocks and so do her pinterest boards

Mrs. McHaffie is so real and inspiring and I just love her blog design. She has way more followers than I do and I hope that when I grow up, I am just liker her. :)
 I think I accidentally found her when I discovered her adorable Door Hangers that the kiddos and I LOVE! 
This post was so helpful for me last year during Groundhog day and the 100th day of school! She is very talented and everyone should check her out. 


The other blog that I can't get enough of is Kimberly Ann from Live, Laugh, I Love Kindergarten (who is currently having a 100 follower giveaway- congrats).

She started blogging two months ago or so and hasn't stopped. She is so sweet and makes the greatest stuff! My kids and I loved her Winter Emergent Reader Book Pack! Everyone should grab this, it's a steal!

I could name a million blogs that inspire me, because YOU ALL inspire me. . . but I can't break the linky rules. I get to come back next month and do it again though, can't wait! :)

Who inspires you? Happy Wednesday!

  1. I posted about the "Shout Out" linky the other day on my blog. I think it's great that take a few minutes to recognize those bloggers that make a difference in the blogging community. I love your blog and hope you'll stop by mine again soon. I'm having a Starbuck's card ($15) giveaway this month, so that I'll hopefully get my birthday wish of "more followers". Hope you hop by and check it out! Thanks, Michele @ http//the-lightbulb-lab.com
