I finally posted a full house tour, all in one-big-giant-scrolling page.  I’m adding this post as a link under the “Decorating” tab of the navigation bar.  Hope it makes it easier to find what you’re looking for!

Also, I wanted to introduced you to some new bloggers that are from our local East Tennessee area.  I’ve enjoyed getting to know their blogs myself, so hope you click around and make new friends!  And I’ll add my friend Patty to the list, whose blog and photography you’ll love.  If you’re an East TN blogger and would like to be included in our FB group and meet us for coffee from time to time, leave you link in the comments and we’ll add you!

Meet Candace from His Mercy is New! I’m Candace and I blog at His Mercy is New. I’m married to David and we have 3 children that we homeschool; we live just east of Knoxville where my husband and I met at Carson-Newman College about 15 years ago! On my blog you will find homeschooling posts, great reads, posts about faith and especially encouragement for moms struggling with depression. I pray you are blessed and encouraged each time you visit!

Meet Christina of Mouse in Your House blog! Living in 400-square-feet with our new sweet baby boy. I blog about the hilarious side of parenting, and keep things exciting with DIY and home decorating ideas and projects. I throw in the occasional Q&A with crafty people and dig into lifestyle trends. Grab a cup of coffee and stay a while!

Meet Heather and her site Kiser Ridge Farm! Hi, I am Heather, stay at home mother of soon to be 5 children. We live on a small farm in East Tennessee. We raise chickens, goats, rabbits, hogs, dogs, cats and kiddos. Kiser Ridge Farm is also my herbal shop, where I combine my 15 years of experience in herbal medicine, with my 20 years in Emergency Medicine, researching and mixing natural remedies. My blog is new and so is my business.

Meet Megan of Lifesong blog! Hi! I’m Megan, a wife (to one) and homeschooling Mama of three. I am passionate about Jesus, teaching my kids, and taking pictures. But I also love baking, Amazon, reading and writing. My blog is a little of everything – homeschool days, recipes, stories, traditions, and encouragement. We have made East TN home for the past eight years, and we love it here! Come say hello at Lifesong!

Meet Meghan and her blog KMac Creations! My name is Meghan and I write. Streamlined & slapstick stories of memories made. Not perfectly, but purposefully. Under blankets snuggled, my space for words is covered with stories of family, fashion, homeschool and design. Faith finds its way in too. Always. My blog documents time honest, hilarious and most certainly hope filled.

Meet Melissa and her blog Finding Joy on the Journey! Finding Joy on the Journey started as I felt moved to record the blessings that occur in the every day. The beautiful blue sky, the warm sunshine on my face, the sweetness of a good book finished. I used to say, “simple pleasures” in high school and college. Only now they’re deeper than that. It’s deep-seated joy that isn’t based on circumstance. So I write here about joy in the midst of infertility, food allergy frustrations, depression, chronic health problems, and life just not turning out to be what we thought it would. (Is it ever?) The Lord’s name is to be glorified in it all, and that is what I want to do here on my little home on the web. I hope you’ll join me!

Meet Melissa from Life Off The Paved Road! Hello there! I’m Melissa. I am wife to Stacy and homeschooling mom to five children. We live in East Tennessee, just north of Knoxville on land that has been in my family for five generations.

I hope you will stop by, hang out for a while and come back to visit from time to time.

Meet Rebecca of Life Changes! Hello! My name is Rebecca and I have been married to Brian for almost 21 years. We have 3 adult sons and a 7 month old Granddaughter!

I appreciate you taking your time to read my blog and if you have a blog I would love to read yours!

      I lived in the Johnson City area for nine years when my husband was a music minister in Jonesboroguh. I love the area and miss it so much. When anyone mentions my Tennessee home I wax a little nostalgic and my heart leaps a bit.

    Good timing. I am moving to East TN (Greeneville) in late May. I can get to know the locals before I move. Thanks so much.

    Hey, girl! I’d love to join the group. After all this time, I still don’t know many other bloggers here in East TN besides you and I, so it will be nice to meet some others! Count me in 🙂

    Hi, Edie,
    Yay! A full house tour – what a treat! Didn’t realize you had two guest rooms. They’re so fun…. Just wondering, since you were introducing new bloggers today, whether you would have seen the e-mail I sent about mine? It’s brand-new, and I was looking for some advice. I don’t know if e-mail is the best way to reach to you, but I’d love to hear back! Happy almost March.

    Edie~ I have loved your blog since the beginning. Living with you throughout your journey. To this day your blog is like a breath of fresh air that sweeps in through my screen and holds me captive longer than I like to admit! Our family is moving to East Tennessee (looking for that perfect 100+ acre parcel) this summer after a long 23 year journey in the north. We have been called to open a Vocational Training Center and Educational Farm that we will call Legacy 7 Farms ~where passion and purpose meet. We are humbled and excited about this new season of life and hope to meet others in the area. So glad you compiled this list! I will spend some time “getting to know” those listed here and hope to meet many of them one day! ~Sandy

    Hi Edie! I saw you on our local news and rushed to check out your blog. I absolutely love it and am thrilled to have found you. As a BONUS I found this list of our area bloggers and I’m getting ready to makes some visits ASAP. I would love to be added to your list if you are still adding any new people. I’ve taken an online blogging class but 90% of the members live in AUSTRALIA!! It’s been fun to get a peek into their culture, but I would love to connect with friends a little closer to home 🙂 Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
