This month we are chatting with Taylor of What Taylor Likes. I have followed Taylor for several years now and am so inspired by her determination. She is currently a full time Law student and is still running her blog while doing so. Talk about dedication! I had the privilege to meet Taylor and her wonderful Mom in person around 2 years ago at one of her Dallas blogger brunches she hosted. Her personality is infectious and I am so glad I connected with her through the blogging community. Check out Taylor’s Instagram What Taylor Likes as well as her blog What Taylor Likes!
