Who Defines “Authenticity” in Blogging?

Is authenticity just another blogging buzzword? Maybe we should just let bloggers be themselves, however they choose to be. | Belle Brita

Let’s talk about authentic blogging. Authenticity is like the newest blogging buzzword, but what does it mean exactly? I admire bloggers who show the messy side of life. Last year my blogging friend Jess from Jessica Lynn Writes shared this amazing blog post, “A Beautiful Mess,” about the realities of motherhood. I love bloggers who can poke… [Read More]

What I Wish I Could Tell My Mother

9 months after my mother's death, I still can't believe I can't just call her up on the phone. | Belle Brita

I feel like I understand now why Catholics don’t just pray to God, but also to saints. It’s not that saints themselves can answer prayers, but they can pray for us too. Plus, as much I like chatting with God, sometimes I want to talk to someone else. Like my mom. Today marks nine months… [Read More]

No, You’re Not a Feminist (But Not for the Reasons You Think)

A response to the article, "I'm Not a Feminist, and That is Okay." | Belle Brita

Better late than never. My response to, “I am Not a Feminist, and That is Okay.” You are not a feminist. You’re right–that is okay. I have a lot more to do as a feminist than try to argue with everyone who doesn’t like the label. So you’re not a feminist. Fine. Whatever. But you… [Read More]

Why I Unfollowed You on Instagram

Losing followers on Instagram? You might be making these mistakes! | Belle Brita

I love following new accounts on Instagram. I enjoy seeing pretty pictures, yummy food, and snuggly babies in my Instagram feed. Why do I follow new Instagram users? In order to: keep up with my long-distance friends and family (Edit 04/03/2017: I created a second personal account just to keep up with my friends and… [Read More]

April 2016 Goals // March Recap

In March, I focused on balance and my marriage. This April, I need to focus on my home and my career! What are your goals? | Belle Brita

Even though I did my best to relax in March, the time flew by! I also feel fairly accomplished for the month, even if I didn’t quite reach all of my goals. Most importantly, I focused on quality time with Dan this month! Considering how stressed I was in February, I think a mostly-relaxed March… [Read More]

Thankful Thursday: Focusing on the Little Things

This month, I'm thankful for all the small blessings in my life | Belle Brita

Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t joined the Thankful Thursday blog link-up with Charlene since Thanksgiving! But with #LoveBlog in February, and getting ready for #LoveBlog at the end of January, and being depressed in December, Thankful Thursday just didn’t happen. This month I’m not really thankful for any one big thing in particular. Instead,… [Read More]
