You Inspire Me "Because Nice Matters"

I love discovering new blogs, and I thought you might too! I'm dedicating my Friday posts this summer to some of my favorite blogs, my go-to places for inspiration, and just all around good people. I've made a lot of friends in blogland and I'm happy to be able to share some of them here with you.


I can't remember how I came across Noelle's blog but I am so grateful that I did. She quickly became one of my most favorite people. Her quick wit and hilarious, real life stories brought me in, but it was the strength of her character, her conviction, that had me hooked.

Coming from a large family, you can always expect a sweet, funny or thought-provoking post about her relatives. One of my favorite posts is this one, where she shares about the random acts of kindness that got her family through some hard times when she was a child, and how her parents "payed it forward" and taught her to do the same. Her niece, who she affectionately refers to as "Trouble," is cute as a button and is always the topic of a funny story.

Noelle has 100 sisters and brothers (ok not really, but it seems like it!). In her family there are two sets of twins and a set of triplets (she's one of them). They are all very close, sharing weekly family dinners and the family business.

Her husband, Jason, is adorable and the love they share is inspiring. And funny. You should read about how he cleans the ceiling fan in their house.


Noelle is one of the most genuine, and generous people you will meet. She has a strong faith in God that has helped her through many tough times. One of those tough times she's going through right now, as she is pregnant with her first child. Her not yet born daughter, Emily, has some problems with her heart and will probably need multiple surgeries soon after her birth and in the first several years of her little life.


Isn't she adorable with her baby bump??? Noelle also has a blog dedicated to her daughter, called "Dear Emily, Love Mommy" where she offers a glimpse of her heart as she writes letters to little Emily.


We became fast friends, and I know that despite the miles, we will be friends for a long time. If only Utah wasn't so far away from So Cal...Noelle, the next time you have a layover in LA we WILL meet in person!!!

Stop by and visit Noelle if you can, and while you're there be sure to show her a little love. It will be returned to you multiplied.
