>Write a blog post to encourage another beautiful woman.
Elle, this one's for you dear.
Guest what? You're beautiful. I know you probably don't hear it as much as you should so I'm here to blare it loud and clear. You're beautiful! You are such an amazing woman and only through our writing have we grown close. Your beauty shines through in your writing and photos. AND your amazing knack for cooking. Heck, I wish I could smell your kitchen through the computer. Everything you create looks so yummy and beautiful! You are an amazing mother and wife (again, something that's gone unnoticed-but not to me). You want only the best for your family and being efriends I know deep down in my heart that you're a beautiful friend. When I need you, you're there. And when you need me, I there. Your beauty is written all over your face, inside and out. I am proud to call you a friend, though we have never met face to face and I know that day will come soon!
Love you,
S.

Share the Love
>My bloggie bud Caz over at Spacebook has posted something pretty fun. She found the idea over on Angel's Mind.I'm sure most of you have heard about it so I am going to keep the thought going on. I consider myself a pretty crafty person. I crochet, paint (water-colors), play guitar, collage, and scrapbook. And now I want to make something crafty for FIVE of my lovely readers. Be the first FIVE commenters and you've got yourself something coming to you sometime this year. I like that rule. I get a whole year to make and send you something. However, I'll do my best not to procrastinate and get-er done asap. The next part of the rule is that if you chose to participate in having something made for you, then you should go on and do the same. I'm not going to hold anyone accountable for this. It is all out of the goodness of my heart that I want to do this. No one is forcing anyone to keep "paying it forward" but I might rub in some guilt there somewhere, wink wink. So if you'd like one of my crafty creations leave me a comment and a way for me to contact you via email. If we don't know each other well yet, send me an email (in profile) with a short description of things you like. Favorite colors, foods, things that make you happy and smile, etc. Mmm kay? Have fun! I look forward to working on this!

I'm Gonna Brag...about YOU!
>
Come a little closer friends! This is post is going to be mostly about all you lovely ladies that inspire me on SO many different levels! And it's all thanks to Randalin over at Harvesting Kale. I am a fairly new follower in the last few months and the two of us have totally it it off! She is beautiful, inside and out and has the most adorable little boy, Kale. Logan is a few months older than Kale and I am certain that we would be real life besties. So, raise a glass with me Randalin as I thank you for giving me a Trendy Blog award! Thank you dear!
Here are the rules:
1. Post about this award
2. Pass it along to ten other bloggers
3. Leave a link to the Trendy Blog button so they can grab it RIGHT HERE
One of the greatest things about being a public blogger is the relationships that you build only through the words and pictures of another woman, sometimes a fellow mother, who you can relate to on every level. You wish that they lived in a closer town and that the other mamas in your play groups understood you like you bloggies besties do. So here is my list of the lovely ladies that you should all know. This was SO hard to put together and who knows I might cheat and add more than 10! lol Enjoy!
First and foremost, it goes without saying that Harvesting Kale is on the list so rather than giving her a number, just click on her link above!
1. Dear Baby. M is such a genuine, beautiful writer. I wish I had her same fluidity when it came to writing. Her letter to her readers announcing her second pregnancy had me in tears and I will forever be a follower of her awesome blog.
2. Playground Diva. Just take a second and re-read the name of that blog. I love it and want to hijack it from Heidi, my most favorite cousin (shhh don't tell the others!). I firmly believe that our blogging has only brought us closer. We have not lived in the same state for several years now and being that we are both mamas, we share so much in common. If you're into fashion, check her out! The girl knows how to match leggings with anything!
3. Hancock Heir. Dana is the mama of little Aydan. He is so precious and her blog is addicting! She is also someone I have only been following for a short time and I have loved what I have read so far!
4. Letters to Ames. This mama is about to have her hand very full! She is an adorable son, Ames, and is expecting TWIN GIRLS!! She is an honest writer and is taking the upcoming changes to her family so well! Again, another newish blog in my reader.
5. A Blessed Life. Jasmine has become a great friend over the last year or so. She has two beautiful kids and a huge heart for Christ and her family. We're buddies on FB now and I love seeing her updates. She is a great writer and so honest about life. I see so much of myself in her, it's kinda crazy!
6. Midwest Elle. Oh E. How I love thee! This girl has been on my reader pretty much since the day I started blogging. She has a sassy little girl, M, and I don't think I have EVER known anyone who loves coffee as much as she does. In fact, today's post was about a coffee pot! lol. She also always has great recipes, mostly for sweet things so it is SO her fault if I end up losing all my teeth someday.
7. My Sweet T. Tracey is the lovely mama of a new baby girl. I love reading her posts and her birth story is awesome! I'm a fairly new follower and can't wait to get to know her more!
8. Spacebook. This blog holds a special place in my heart. Caz is the mama of two little girls. Her first died tragically due to a placental abruption. Not long after their loss, she was pregnant again and this summer she welcomed her second daughter into the world. I presume this is why her blogging has slowed down lately but you should all take a peek at her blog.
9. The Makings of an Ostie Family. Anne!!! How I love her. She has the great honor of being the FIRST EVER bloggie bestie that I've met in person. And how lucky was it that it was the DAY AFTER SHE HAD HER BABY?! Perfect timing. I got to meet little Graydon and it was fantastic. I have been following her journey of TTC since the beginning and her son is more than a miracle for their little family.
10. Ambition Never Goes Out of Style. This girl, Kaity, has been a friend for several years. Now, she is a baby nurse in the same hospital I WAS BORN IN! It's kinda cool. She has a great blog about her life with her hubby and two dogs. Sounds like me before we had our son. Check her out!

I Met a Bloggie
>
(me, Anne & Baby G)
Just a week away from our trip to Michigan I happened to mention in a post that we would be flying into Grand Rapids. I think all of the waiting for Baby G to arrive threw Anne into a tailspin of OHHHMIGOOOOD we have GOT to meet up!! We emailed back and forth about our plans and she warned me that Baby G was well past his due date and that at any moment he will make his grand entrance. I, of course, am all to familiar with this. So Friday night we flew into Grand Rapids. I texted her and we made plans for her to come by the hotel the next night after we got back from a wedding. Wellll Saturday morning I got this text:
"Sarah I was just thinking about u and chceking my email but guess what...I am 99% sure I am in labor! Contrations since 10:30, 5-10 min apart right now."
It is safe to say I squeeled when she told me this. I tried to text her back right away but we were out at a park with no single for the next six hours. Once we got back to the hotel I got this:
"Sarah I am srrry he is here! Born at 6:38 he was 8.7 pounds and 22.5 inches. No epi woo hoo!"
Cue proud momma chant!! I was so proud of her!! Sure I was a little bummed we would not be meeting up but the reward is so muc greater! The next day I made plans to drop the fam off at church while I went to the hospital for a visit. I didn't have a lot of time, but it was enough for us to chat about her birth and at the time, a name for the little man.
Anne, I LOVED meeting you! I keep saying how much I wish we had had more time or lived closer. It's hard to find other momma friends and in my town, I have very few. I cannot wait to meet you again AND...if there are any Colorado bloggies out there or you're coming to CO for a visit, let's meet up!!
