Before I had Bekah I always wondered how mommies managed to survive when "that time of the month" rolled around.
Now I know.
Some months are easier than others, and right now i'm going through a not-so-easy one.
I feel completely drained and uninspired.
So, after doing what I usually do to perk myself up and get focused (read the Word, listen to/sing worship songs, pray, etc.)
I decided to go on a little online hunt and find things/blogs/people who inspire me
and, of course, share them with you all (just in case any of you are need of a good laugh/read/or some good ol' inspiration!)
If you need some humor in your life, go look at these underwater photos of Olympic divers in action! They're disturbing and funny and awesome!

If you LOVE thrifting (something I have grown to love after moving to Cali) then you'll love this series!
Daisy over at Daisy Girl is doing a week-long series on all things thrifty!
After reading today's post about the secrets to making the most of yard sales, I feel like I'm ready to attack any and all yard sales this upcoming weekend!
Go check it out if you haven't already.
You can start with yesterday's thrifting post here.
I am SO glad I came across Whitney's blog!
She's a wife to Nathan, a mommy to Camden, and a GREAT writer!
She has this 5 part series on an incredibly rough accident her baby boy went through just a few months ago and how God completely turned their lives upside down and brought them through it.
I read parts 1 through 5 in one sitting, it was so good!
If you have some time, I suggest you do the same. You can start here.
Do you feel like giving up on a dream/goal?
If so, you must read this post by Michele Cushatt: For Those Who Want to Give Up.
It encouraged me like crazy!
And if you just want an all around GREAT new blog to read,
then go peruse through Stephanie Holden's incredibly cozy posts at The Honey Pot!
Stephanie's writing is always sprinkled with sweetness/inspiration/humor and love.
(Her blog is my current fave!)
Have a great day, friends!
