Lauren, from Oatmeal After Spinning is featured in this week’s Humpday Blog Love. And WIAW goes berserk with the best foods I ate last week.

This week’s Humpday Blog love goes to my friend Steph Hertel’s Turtle Soup blog. Don’t confuse her with the yodeling sensation, Stefanie Hertel.
I don’t even know where to start! Steph is pretty much the perfected version of what I do at my blog … she makes things … creates things [...]
This week’s Blog Love goes to my friend Steph for her blog 33% Disaster.
Steph is a web designer at a local company and does a lot of photography on the side. She’s also getting married to a wonderful guy next May and I’m going to be a [...]
Love goes to Des Moines local Cara Hall this week and her ironically titled blog, Failed Feminist.
I met Cara last year through Craft Saturday in Des Moines. In her own words, Cara “is a writer in Des Moines, Iowa (which is cooler than [...]
