Hello Friends
I’m currently taking Holly Becker’s e-class ‘Blogging Your Way’ where Holly shares her vast blogging knowledge and valuable business and design experience which is amazing and so inspiring for me. My assignment - read blogs and learn from others. Post 5 new blogs that I am following and why.
Leo Babauta is the creator and writer of Zen Habits. Babauta is a former journalist of 18 years, a husband, father of six children, and in 2010 moved from Guam to San Francisco, where he leads a simple life. I fond Leo’s blog amazing, while chocked full of mindfulness practice, simplifying and de-cluttering your schedule to creating space for the important things in your life to healthy eating habits and fun exercise. Leo is like my personal Zen coach and will be the ‘go to’ blog for me to stay focused and energized. Zen Habits is one of the top 50 websites/blogs in the world.
Ikea Hackers is the place to go for ideas and DIY projects. Within the last year IKEA has opened a new store located in the Denver area making this blog a necessity for me to follow. IKEA Hackers was created by ‘Jules’ which is her blog name taken from the IKEA catalogue of the Jules chair. It is fun, silly at times and a very eclectic and entertaining blog to visit and share IKEA hacking ideas.

I discovered this blog while attending Holly Becker’s Blogging Your Way class.
