Blogs Worth Reading

I wanted to have a post dedicated to blogs that I am currently reading. The great thing about blogs is that they are constantly updated and you can always read more from your favorite author without waiting months or years for their next work to be published. So, without further ado, here are some blogs I would recommend you add to your feed.

The Minimalists
The Minimalists is a blog and website developed by Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus. Josh and Ryan are minimalists, people who live with very little in exchange for experiencing more. While I am nowhere near as drastic as these two, their blog offers advice on how to live a life of purpose, specifically a purpose of experiencing more and living with less. This blog is an inspiration to me, and having followed some of their advice, I am beginning to appreciate living more with less.

Forever A First Grader
Megan is a first grade teacher whose classroom is Pinterest worthy! Her blog details things she does in her own classroom, each one as engaging and creative as the next. As a fifth grade (soon to be sixth grade) teacher, I love looking at blogs from teachers of younger grades to get inspiration for more creative and fun activities. For instance, Megan's post on the Saint Patrick's Day Leprechaun showed how she turned a holiday into a creative and engaging classroom experience to remember. A must read for any teacher looking for inspiration in their own classrooms, no matter the grade!

Live From Grade Five
Angela is also a fifth grade teacher and her blog definitely is the definition of teacher goals. She shares her hand-on activities, lessons, and fun themed activities she does in her own classroom. We also share a lot in common, including teaching fifth grade, being first-year teachers, and struggling with the pressure of standardized testing. Her posts are honest and insightful as she details the real problems she faces in her job, as well as the successes. It is nice to see what other professionals are able to accomplish with the same challenges I face.

Something Navy
Meet Arielle: a New York City fashion icon, new mother, and serious #GIRLBOSS. Her fashion blog houses so much outfit inspiration! She has a classic style although she is not afraid to take risks and rock trends. Although much of her clothing is out of my price range, she offers cheaper alternatives that can create the same look. Also, her shoe closet is to die for! For a daily dose of trendsetting style to satiate your inner fashionista, give Something Navy a look.
