About my nominees
I’m nominating Jessica from www.itsjessalifestyle.com I began following Jessica on Instagram a few months ago when I came across pictures of the adorable birthday party she threw for her daughter. I noticed soon after that she had a blog and I’ve been following along ever since! Her blog post “First Birthday Garden Party” is my favourite (so far!), I love seeing all of the attention to detail and love she put into the party - and the tent was fit for a wedding! She has inspired me to throw a garden party (when my yard is done…maybe a celebration party! LOL)
Next I’m nominating Jennifer from www.sincerelymrsjmm.com I recently started following Jennifer on Instagram and began following her blog soon thereafter. I can totally relate to her love of routine, lists, organization and fall! I admire her regular posting (something I’m working on!) and you have to check out her ORGANIZED kitchen junk cabinet!

Jennifer’s Questions for me!
