Meet the Streeters!! I, Kristina here, have been blogging since 2007 (off and on over the years - I have gotten much more consistent!). I started blogging when we lived in our little apartment and Ryan worked nights and it seemed whenever I wasn't. So, I began to blog!! I blogged for a long time just for my own sake, never telling the world or following other blogs, it was ... my space. Little did I know what the blog world was really about and how many other people blogged just like I did. So, within the past year a little, but mostly in the last few months I have really started finding new blogs and friends. Now, I'll clarify something - Ryan doesn't blog, hehe - I am definitely the blogger, but since it's a blog about life, our life - I thought I would introduce the co-star of this lovely blog! ;) Our Story- We met in the summer of 2004, through his best friend at the time, in Colorado - I was out visiting my Grandparents. We saw each other off and on during my ...

Good Morning Sunshines. This week we are bringing back comment love day, In between The Album . The album is hosted once a month. If you have photographs throughout the month that you share such as wordless wednesday, a 365 project, etc; The Album is for you, link those posts so we can see. We encourage everyone to take a moment to look at the album and visit some friends. There are some awesome photographs! With our hectic schedules, I like to set aside a day to do some much needed comment love. It's nice to receive comments and although we may be reading posts throughout the week, sometimes it's just impossible to comment on every one of them. Sundays are perfect for catching up. <center><a href="http://forblogs.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r70/VICKT80/1.jpg" /></a></center> As many of you know, we have NO rules for our Hops- EXCEPT this one!

Hello blogging friends! I am Nicole over at Frogs, Snails, and Fairytales . I started this blog to give family who lived far away, a way to feel involved with our lives. We are a family of five! Tim, my fiance, and I have been together 9 years. It will be 10 in October. We met when I was a Freshman in high school, and he was a Sophomore. We met on line through AOL instant messenger, because apparently that was the thing to do back then. It was a coincidence that we went to the same high school. We started to date shortly after that. I became a mom in 2007, at the age of 19, with the birth of my first son Timothy. In 2008, 17 months after having Timothy, I gave birth to my second son Mason. And wouldn't you know it 20 months later in 2010, I gave birth to my daughter, finally! Timothy James Mason Paul Taylor Ann The crazy thing is I was on birth control with ALL THREE kids! The boys I was on the pill (although, I have to be honest, not sure they were taken 100% perfectly),...

Hey there! I am so excited to meet some new friends. I have been stalking several home decor/DIY blogs for the last few years, including yours.  In doing so, I have attempted various projects in my first house and now this one that I probably would have never even dreamed of without the inspiration.  Being a first grade teacher and new mommy, I needed a little "me time," an adult outlet, and turned to blogging.  My little blog, Virginia Beach Housewife , documents all of my domestic attempts.  I DIY, I decorate, I cook, I party, I craft, and I raise a baby boy.  Basically, life is busy, and my  attempts are not always pretty and certainly not proper, but I have a great time living my life and writing about it.  A few of my favorite projects so far have been: My  DIY stenciled curtains : My mirror transformation and guest room makeover (still a work in progress): My Diet Soda Cupcakes and Frosting And my cha...

I think we can all agree that one of life's greatest pleasures is discovering new things. Having just opened We Heart Shops , we've already met some of the most inspiring small business owners yet. Pamplemousse1983  sells fine art photography such as this beauty . This expectant mother also enjoys making her latest creation-onsies. This robot one is so clever and unique! I personally love vintage anythings, so when i seen these old walkie talkie's on photograph, I was in L-O-V-E. You can find Pamplemousse1983 on We Heart Shops , Her Blog , Twitter  and of Course Etsy . if you'd like to be featured, visit We Heart Shops .

Hello friends....meet- Walking Contraditcion I am the most atypical military wife you will ever meet. Sometimes I am still unsure about how this became my life, but it brought me to beautiful sunny southern California, so for that I am forever grateful. The day I met my husband I knew I would never be the same. He was everything that I am not. And some 6 years after meeting we brought the most amazing little boy into this world. I never thought I would be a stay-at-home mom, in fact my father likes to remind me every day how he wasted, $40,000 a year on my college education however I choose to impart every bit of education that I have pursued onto son therefore my college degree will never go wasted. Yes, I was meant to go to law school and open my own business but all of that was put on hold when I peed on a stick and two lines showed up but I am forever grateful for those long sought after two lines. I am a sweet midwesterner at heart and a snooty ivy leaguer by trade and ye...

In creating We Heart Shops , our number one goal was to bring prolific owners to every interested buyer out there. After Nine to Five  has been  discovered and we'd like to invite you to meet the fabulous lady behind it all. One of the best things is being your own boss. Ashley is doing what she loves. Making jewelry is her passion. This airplane necklace is perfect for flight attendants or pilots who would wear this with pride. Many items in her shop have a very unique feel to them. There is something for everyone. She just recently added journals which are lovely and a must for all.  And best, they are made from recylced paper.
