Blogger Spotlight: Sowdering About

January 4, 2016 by Kelly Dedeaux

Blogger Spotlight: Sowdering About / by Busy Mom's Helper

This week I get to share with you another amazing lady that joins me with our Awesome Things Wednesday while running her super fun blog! Randi has all sorts of craftiness, plus finds time to write…not sure how she does it! So get ready for this week’s Blogger Spotlight: Sowdering About!

Blogger Spotlight: Sowdering About / by Busy Mom's Helper

 Not only does she find time for all HER stuff, but she’ll will even do craft projects her friends request. Super nice, huh? Here’s a bit about Randi in her own words:

Blogger Spotlight: Sowdering About / by Busy Mom's Helper

“I started my blog a few years ago because I wanted to help inspire people to find their crafty. So many of my friends were always asking me how I did things, or wanted to see what I was up to. I also wanted a place/space to be able to keep up on my writing. I love to write and never want to lose that. “

Blogger Spotlight: My Craftily Ever After

Blogger Spotlight: My Craftily Ever After / by Busy Mom's Helper #favoritebloggers

I know, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve shared another fabulous blogger here, but now that the holidays are upon us it’s been crazy with a capital C! Anywho, this week I’m featuring a friend of mine who co-hosts our Awesome Things Tuesday linky party! Say ‘hello’ to this week’s Blogger Spotlight: My Craftily Ever After!

It’s been fun getting to know Ashley more as we’ve joined in the link party, and now YOU can learn more about her in her own words!

Blogger Spotlight: My Craftily Ever After / by Busy Mom's Helper #favoritebloggers

“Hello! My name is Ashley and I blog over at My Craftily Ever After. I am a thirty-something wife, mother and DIY addict trying to create my own fairy tale ending. I share a combination of recipes, easy crafts and DIY home projects! I love appetizers and dips and I may have a weakness for Mexican food. I try as many different crafts as I possibly can because…why not! I tackle far too many remodeling projects (according to my hubby) because I think that your home should be a reflection of YOU! I have more ideas than time and I am always in the middle of something! I am a lover of the great outdoors (hiking, camping and playing at the ocean), a board game ninja and a real life Wheel of Fortune contestant!”

Blogger Spotlight: What’s Up Fagans?

Blogger Spotlight: What's Up Fagans? / by Busy Mom's Helper #FavoriteBloggers

Big News: I’ve decided to move our Blogger Spotlight Series to every Tuesday afternoon, so be sure to keep checking back each week for fabulous bloggers and posts!

You know those people who are a bit full of themselves and talk down to people? Katelyn from What’s Up Fagans? is definitely NOT like that! She’s totally down-to-earth, funny and just one of those people that feels like a good friend…even if you’ve only met through her awesome blog! She describes her blog the best…so read on to learn about our Blogger Spotlight: What’s Up Fagans?

Blogger Spotlight: What's Up Fagans? / by Busy Mom's Helper #FavoriteBloggers

“Hey there! What’s up? I’m Katelyn Fagan. And I write the blog “What’s up Fagans?” My blog is about me and my family. But, not so much in that annoying “Oh, my kids are the bestest of all the bestest best kids in the whole wide world” obnoxious sort of way. While my in-laws might think my kids are pretty stellar and my husband and I do too of course, our blog is about our journey through this awesome, totally hard, thing called life, and how we are doing our darndest to make the most of it.

Because, although this life is full of change, disappointment, trials, and heartache, it is also full of beauty, hope, joy, and love. I like to remind myself and others who stumble their way to my site of the good.

At What’s up Fagans? you will find posts that are honest, practical, and helpful to your soul, your home, your health, your children, and your spouse. I hope you’ll always appreciate my humble, down-to-earth, non-judgmental, goofy, all too practical, frugal, Mormon-self, who has a hard time holding grudges and smiles a huge toothy smile very easily. May God bless you and your family on your journey in life.”

Blogger Spotlight: Crazy for Crust

December 23, 2020 by Kelly Dedeaux

Blogger Spotlight: Crazy for Crust / by Busy Mom's Helper #desserts #crazyforcrust #favoritebloggers

Welcome to another awesome spotlight Monday! I’m so sorry I missed last week, but it’s been a bit insane around here…details to come later this week, but let’s just say lots of family visiting out of state proves to be a bit busy! Don’t worry, though, I’m making up for it with today’s super-talented Blogger Spotlight: Crazy for Crust!

Blogger Spotlight: Crazy for Crust / by Busy Mom's Helper #desserts #crazyforcrust #favoritebloggers

If you’ve never been to see Dorothy over on her site Crazy for Crust before, you’ve GOT to check it out. She shares the most delicious, creative dessert recipes and her pictures will seriously have you drooling over your keyboard! No joke! A little bit about her in her own words…

Blogger Spotlight: Crazy for Crust / by Busy Mom's Helper #desserts #crazyforcrust #favoritebloggers

“I’m a wife, a mom, and a dessert blogger who loves pie. When I started blogging in 2010, I realized I didn’t just love pie, I loved all desserts, especially if they had a crust. It was at that point I started sharing all sorts of different desserts, sometimes crazy, often with a crust, and always served with a slice of my life.

I live outside Sacramento, California but my heart remains in San Francisco. I’m obsessed with The Real Housewives, Scandal, and how to convince my husband we need more turquoise accessories in our home. Oh, and I’m rarely seen without my Kindle or my iPhone, two accessories that have become extensions of my arms.”

And guess what? Her very first cookbook is coming out soon! It’s available for pre-order now, so do as I did and go nab it for yourself. Dessert Mashups: Tasty Two-in-One Treats Including Sconuts, S’morescake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie and Many More I really can’t wait to try these amazing recipes for myself….and just in time for the holidays…I may be getting a few for my sisters and mom (if you’re reading this, ignore that last line!) 😉

The most popular posts on Crazy for Crust are:

Dorothy’s favorite post is:

this Favorite All-Butter Pie Crust. She says it took her 3 years to have the courage to create that type of step-by-step post. It’s one of my favs, too, so she obviously did AMAZING!

Blogger Spotlight: Crazy for Crust / by Busy Mom's Helper #desserts #crazyforcrust #favoritebloggers

Now the challenge: sharing MY favorite recipes from Crazy for Crust!

I say challenge because, really, I love almost all of them! I’ve honestly tried a bunch of Dorothy’s recipes, and have yet to make one that wasn’t amazing. If I had to choose, though, here’s my top ones….at least right now 😉

Happy Labor Day, y’all! I hope you enjoy this fun, restful day off as much as we’re hoping to. Still plenty to get done, but there should be time for the pool and other play. Woot Woot! Let’s celebrate with our Blog Spotlight: Yummy Healthy Easy!

Blog Spotlight: Yummy Healthy Easy / by Busy Mom's Helper #blogspotlight #favoritebloggers #yummyfood

I’ve been following Jen’s blog Yummy Healthy Easy for a long time, and I love all the tasty recipes she shares! From healthy treats to filling dinners, even refreshing drinks….she’s certainly got a talent in the kitchen! Another thing I love about her blog? Her photographs are awesome! Seriously….take a look and see if you can avoid drooling over any of these delish pics!

I asked Jen to tell us a bit about herself, and here’s what she had to say: “I grew up in Mesa, Arizona but moved out to California about 8 years ago when my husband started law school. We live in Redondo Beach, California and I have four (busy) boys ages 12, 10, 4 and 3. My older ones play football and baseball so I’m usually carting them around to games/practices. My two little guys are a short 11 months apart in age, which is just crazy. They’re best buddies though, which is really cool! I love cooking and baking and I usually have a few helpers in the kitchen with me when I do! 🙂 “

Blog Spotlight: Crazy Little Projects / by Busy Mom's Helper #blogspotlight #favoritebloggers

Holy cow, this weekend just flew by, and now it’s the first day of school for my now-3rd-grader Wonder Woman! As much as I’ve loved having her around the house more this summer, since she’s uber helpful, I’m glad she can get back to her friends, learning and having something to do! So let’s kick off this week with our Monday series, this week we’re going to Spotlight: Crazy Little Projects!

Blog Spotlight: Crazy Little Projects / by Busy Mom's Helper #blogspotlight #favoritebloggers

I ran across Amber’s blog Crazy Little Projects late last year, and instantly bookmarked it for regular visits. She has so many amazing crafts and tutorials, you never know what fun thing she’ll be sharing next! Plus, I love how simply her tutorials seem…she just has a way of explaining the process so well that even someone as challenged as me (especially with sewing) can catch on easily! As per Blog Spotlight fashion, I asked Amber to tell us a bit about herself:

Blog Spotlight: Crazy Little Projects / by Busy Mom's Helper #blogspotlight #favoritebloggers

“I am a mom to 4 little boys ranging in age from 3 to 11. I’m a busy body who doesn’t like to sit still so I fill my time with baking, sewing, crafting and other crazy little projects. I also love being around people and love playing games and eating chocolate. I started blogging about 2 and a half years ago as a creative outlet and have never had so much fun in all of my life! I grew up in Colorado but went to college in Utah, where I met my husband. Since then we have lived in Wisconsin, California and now back in Utah where he teaches chemistry at the University.”

Some of the most popular posts on Crazy Little Projects are:

Spotlight: A Little Claireification / by Busy Mom's Helper #blogspotlight

Happy Monday, y’all! I’m so excited, because we’re starting a new series to brighten up our Monday’s around here: our Blogger Spotlight! Now, you’re probably like ‘uh….huh?’ Let me explain….starting today, every Monday I will spotlight another fabulous blogger. I’ll share a bit about them, what their blog is about, and some favorite posts of theirs (and mine!). What better way to start than with my amazing friend Claire?! On to our first Spotlight: A Little Claireification!

Spotlight: A Little Claireification / by Busy Mom's Helper #blogspotlight

I was so glad to meet Claire in person at SNAP! Conference this year, and I can honestly say she’s just as sweet and amazing in real life as she is on her blog! I asked Claire for a bit about her, and here’s what she had to say:

Spotlight: A Little Claireification / by Busy Mom's Helper #blogspotlight

“Hi it’s me Claire from A Little CLAIREification! I am a working Mama to three boys, a self proclaimed cheese addict and a lover of all things crafty and delicious.
A Little CLAIREification is a lifestyle blog committed to bringing readers “Bright Ideas On A Budget” – from recipes, crafts and DIY projects to time management tips, meal planning and inspiration. I like BIG ideas and I like to throw a little fun and laughter in the mix as well.
I started blogging in the Fall of 2012 and it’s been such an adventure! In addition to connecting with my amazing readers, one of my all time favorite things about being a blogger is the awesome community of supportive bloggers I have gotten to know, many whom I have no met in person. It has been a fantastic journey so far and I can’t wait to see what the next year holds!”

Seriously, LOVE this woman! I gave her the daunting task of listing her 3 most popular posts from A Little Claireification:
