HAPPY MONDAY! Today I want to share some of the blogs that I use for inspiration in my DIY projects and whenever I am running low on Creative juices. These 11 blogs are not only DIY-centric but they are also written by women/moms that face some of the same challenges I face in my life as I try to balance home and entrepreneurship. I subscribe to each of these blogs and I can’t count how many times I’ve referenced a post to aid me in creating different projects.
