DC Metro Mommy Blog Village

Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, run a small business or just want to share a beautiful calling card with a new friend, I have the perfect answer for you.

I recently purchased a set of dreamy calling cards from a wonderful vendor on Etsy.  If you haven't heard of Etsy, well that will require another blog.  Long story short, Etsy is website that sells home crafted items like art, clothes, candles, furniture,  paper goods and more. 

When looking for my new business/calling cards I had array of choices on Etsy.  I landed on a gorgeous selection on Happy Girl Greetings.   I put my request in and within hours got a "Thank You" note for my purchase and a sample JPG of my new card.  Happy Girl

As the name suggests, the blog La Dolce Vita celebrates the visions of a very sweet life. The author, Paloma Contreras, wants to share all the beauty of  interior design, fashion, travel, great food, and inspiring people and places. 

I immediately fell into the pages and was totally taken with the blog.  One of my favorite blogs was a series that was done about a visit to High Point, NC.  It covered all things design and it was wonderful!  Link.

I am constantly on the look out for inspirational websites. I can easily get lost in a decorating and design website that intrigues me. While preparing for a recent bathroom renovation, I stumbled onto this amazing site! I am in awe of the woman who writes the blog Brooklyn Limestone In Progress.
