It IS the most wonderful time of the year, isn't it? I hope you are all having great holidays, spending time with friends and family, or just taking a bit of a breather and enjoying your own home. Since many of us use this downtime to relax and recharge (and catch up on our favourite blogs!), this week I thought I would share with you some of my favourite reads.
Over the next week, I'll be introducing you to some of my most favourite bloggers. Some you may know already and some may be new to you, but I think they're all pretty fabulous. I've asked them to tell you a bit about their blog and provide a link to their favourite post they've written in the past year.
There's a wide variety of blogs mentioned - some write about design and decor, some about life with their family, some write about photography, and others post beautiful inspirational images. They are mothers, wives, girlfriends, professionals, DIYers, and designers, and all of them resonate with me in some way.
I hope you follow the links and find some that resonate with you. Please enjoy these truly Great Reads!

Jeremy & Kathleen is a documentation of life, food, inspiration, fashion, design, adventures (big and little) and details around the J&K home.
My favourite post:
It is so hard to pick a favorite post... but I really enjoyed
revealing my home office after deciding to quit my job a senior art director at an advertising agency to pursue a career in freelance. And of course our trek to Mt. Everest in Nepal was a pretty big deal - I've combined all of those posts
here.
About the blog:
Russet Street Reno is about crappy DIY projects, fabulous DIY projects, half-finished DIY projects, drinking wine, drinking beer, dirty jokes, my lack of a social life, my upcoming wedding, my paint-loving cats, and my grudgingly helpful fiance dodging as many of my projects as possible. Come see what I'm making him help me with this week!
My favourite post:
Because it's funny and I LOVE the way my master closet turned out:
About the blog:
I have a passion for interior design and breathing new life into old furniture.
Sixty-Fifth Avenue is about renovating and decorating our cozy bungalow with a little family talk thrown in for fun.
My favourite post:
I think my favorite post was our fairy garden. It was hard to just choose one!
About the blog:
Hi, I'm Kelly! In college I began buying, renovating and renting properties and
Tearing Up Houses is where I write about those projects. I also post pictures of our English Bulldog posing in a bikini. Because that's important too.

Thanks so much for including me, Jennifer! I read and enjoy all the blogs on your list (does it count that I read my own??) so I'm really excited to be on the list.

On a totally unrelated note.... do you have the name of a great gas company? We are having a new gas range installed and I don't have a clue of who to call in Toronto. Sorry to write off topic but I always appreciate your advice!

Londen

How fun thanks for sharing!
What a great way to spend the holidays - finding new blogs! Some I already know and love and others I'm heading on over to check them out.
Have a happy New Year.
What a great list! I will be checking them out too!
What a great list! I love reading Russet St. Reno and popped over to see the full line-up. Off to check out the other sites now...
I just ran over here from Tearing Up Houses to see what other blogs I could find. In addition to the ones you have told us about, I plan to add YOU to my morning blog list. Thank you VERY much for showing us other folks we may not have known about.
I hit up Kelly and Sara every day because, if you DIY, you need to see it from the most real and humorous perspective as possible. So you know you aren't the only one who laughs when her ceiling falls in.
I'm loving going through all these blogs. It's the perfect distraction during a SLOW day at work. Thanks so much for posting them!
Love this series, I cant wait to see all the great blogs you post!
