Hello, I’m Carrie from Kenarry: Ideas for the Home and today I’m casting the Summer Spotlight on an incredibly talented blogger, Abby at Just a Girl and Her Blog. Abby not only shares beautiful and helpful ideas for DIY projects, home decor and organization tips on her blog, she is also a tremendous support and encouragement to other bloggers.
I started following Just a Girl and Her Blog over a year ago when Abby shared her courageous decision to prevent breast cancer. Her honesty and genuineness really drew me in. Shortly thereafter, Abby published a book called Building a Framework providing all the ins/outs of everything she learned in her first year of blogging. I was still fairly new to blogging at that time and devoured the book over the course of a few days. Reading it was like sitting down for coffee with a good friend and having her pour out all her valuable knowledge and insights. I only wished I’d read it months earlier when I was first starting Kenarry: Ideas for the Home.
Around that time, Abby and her husband, Donnie, also started publicly sharing their blogging income reports, which knocked my socks off! Every month when they release a new income report, my husband and I are quick to open the email to see how they did, what’s working well for them, what’s not working well and about upcoming plans they have to meet their goals. It’s been incredibly inspiring to us to see another husband/wife team successfully making a go of it in the blogosphere.
When Abby’s not blogging, she’s a mother to two adorable little boys she affectionately calls the C’s, Connor and Caleb. While there’s so much more I could share about Abby and her home in Pennsylvania, I know you’re anxious to see her amazing ideas for the home. Before I move on though, I want to share this quote from her which I think sums up how friendly and real she is:
“I’m not perfect. I may like to make things look pretty or go the extra mile to make an event feel special, but if you would pop by my house unexpectedly, you would most likely find a floor full of toys and a sink full of dishes. I feel like in the world of blogging there’s this expectation of “perfect home, perfect family, perfect life,”
