Since it’s Friday and I know no one really works on Fridays, I thought I’d share some of my favorite blogs with you (Don’t worry I left out the business, legal, and tax blogs!).
Does everyone use a blog reader of some sort? Do you all read a bunch of blogs like I do? Right now, I follow about 175 blogs, which as I type this seems a little insane. I constantly have upwards of 800 unread posts in my Google Reader. I try to catch up on the weekends. I will admit that I do not actually read about half to three quarters of these. Many are wedding, design, decorating or photography blogs which I just follow for the visual inspiration. I just scroll through those posts for the photos and then post the ones I love to one of my Pinterest boards.
Here’s some time wasting fun for your Friday:

I have been such a terrible blogger lately! Sorry everyone! I am so behind in keeping you all up on what’s going on with the Keegan Gross family.
Well, now that it’s getting to be Spring timey and the weather is getting a little warmer, we decided to try to get out of the house and do something fun every weekend. We started with our trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo with Kristy, Andrew & Audrey. The weekend after that we took the train to downtown LA to the Chinese American Museum’s Lantern Festival to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Eleanor was so excited about the train ride!
I always love to get to visit Union Station, it’s one of my favorite places in Los Angeles.
The Festival itself was fun. There were traditional dancers, booths with a number a crafts for the kids: paper cutting, Chinese lettering, face painting, and kite making among others, some yummy food trucks, and all of the lovely lanterns.
And the street in front of the museum is the perfect place for portraits. I need to bring some clients back there!
