Hey Everyone!  I'm Ashlee from The story of us. Who Am I?  Why Do I Blog? Plain and simple I blog because I lost the majority of my friends due to getting married and having a kid.  They aren't ready to have this kind of life style so we have just drifted apart.  So, I use this as my outlet to vent, ask for advice and mostly brag about my child.  What Will You Find On My Blog? I spend most of my posts talking about Maddux and my experiences as a new momma.  I also try to really let my readers get to know me so, you'll also see some random posts about me, my marriage & my life in general.  Meet My Family.

Hi, my name’s Amanda from anthropomorphity . All the links in here, they'll take you to an actual blog post- exciting, I know. I’m a 17 year old girl obsessed with fashion, writing and music. I find my inspiration in nature and the little joys in life as well as in sadness and the darker side- which is usually the most beautiful. I can often have a weird, sarcastic sense of humor and my bark is always worse than my bite. Are you scared yet? Everyone says I’m so very intimidating as I tower over them at a grand five feet tall. You kept reading? Awh, you’re so sweet. My “intimidating-ness” (do like that word I just made up?) is actually a bad case of the shy-girl-who-doesn’t-get-in-everyones-face-and-annoy-the-heck-out-of-them-and-she’s-smart-so-she-must-be-stuck-up. Right now I bet there are a large handful of you who are sadly relating to this condition. Don’t be fooled! I can be very outgoing and very loud. I love to spend time with my friends and my dog, Misty who I adore. Alr...

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that a nice glass of this Strawberry and Kumquat Caipirinha looks mighty refresh after a long week of work, eh?

If you have a twitter account, please link that first--if you wish to link your blogs be SURE to write in the text area that it's a blog- ex: For The Love of Blogs: Blog  .....it'll make things less confusing.   Today's Highlighted TWEEP should be in our FIRST spot, so if you arrive here first, be kind enough to add this pretty lady @createwithjoy1  and follow her fabulous tweets and blog. We will be on as much as possible @ohprettyful , @datssocute , @scenicglory  and hope to see you all there! Enjoy and Mingle friends. If you wish to grab buttons, head here .

Sweaty is NOT My Real Name I started blogging sometime during March 2011 , thanks to my best friend, Ms. Lips , who thought I had too much time on my hands and suggested I spent it by writing all my neurotic rants and ramblings on a blog.  I’ve always loved reading and writing, so I thought, “Why not?” A few days and many, many frustrating hours later, I managed to set up a blog with some little bit of sanity intact.  Never been much into computers except to do online shopping and check on my emails before, I arrived in Blogosphere pretty much dazed and confused.  What the heck is a widget?  Is html a short for something? Grab what? “Grab Button?” Pages, posts, sidebar, header, and footer… are they some kind of rhythmic lyrics, like “ head, shoulder, feet and toes, feet and toes! ” kinda thing? And here I thought I was just going to sit down, write some stuff, click send, the end. I had some fun when it came to naming my blog.  After receiving those Do...

Hello Gorgeous People of FTLOB! We wanted to give an entire week of nothing but lovely blog features and thought it would be great to take a break from hops to get to know each other on a more intimate level. As nice as hops are, we each need to give blogs the attention they fully deserve and an entire week dedicated to just that might be just what we all need. Here's the deal: If you have yet to get your blog featured or want another shout out, simply send in any fun post about you, your blog, family, pets, etc. We have a number of features that will be getting thrown out as much throughout this week and will continue them throughout next week during our Blog Feature Week. Depending on how many new blog features come in, we will be sending anywhere from 3-6 maybe 7 features out a day next week. So grab that delicious cup o' joe, hot cocoa and join us for an entire week of fully fabulous blogs! { pic }     <center><a href="http://forblogs.blogspot.com/...

I guess I should start by introducing myself. My name is Lauren and I blog over here !  I'm a 24 year and blog over at old middle school teacher turned toilet salesman. Yep, that's right, I sell potty parts and other various bathroom essentials for a living right here in the Lone Star State. By day, I wear an awesome pink cape inter tube and save the world from its restroom woes. By night, I am partner in crime to my hubster , the proud mother of three fur babies, daughter to the rents, sister to the sibs, wifey to my wife, biff to the bestie, cousin to the Yankee, next-door neighbor extraordinaire, and Aunt YaYa to the brightest little lights of my life. You can read all about them here. I started this blog as a way to document the hot mess that is my life. I have a knack for exaggeration and story telling, so I thought joining the blog-o-sphere would be the perfect way to showcase those abilities. I also majored in English and actually really enjoy writing (which, unfor...

My name is Sarah Ann Noel .  I didn't always use my middle name. But then I married into a family where I became the fourth Sarah Noel. So in the interest of originality, Sarah Ann Noel it shall be. As my husband likes to say, I'm a lot of things for a girl. I write, mostly. I style. I plan. I organize. I design. I work. I love life. I also like things neat and orderly unless they're supposed to be messy. That's a lot of angles. So my blog, Reverie , is where I kind of bring everything together. Despite all those many interests, I'm a writer first and foremost. I used to think that, as a writer, my blog should reflect my writing career. I do a lot of book reviews and link to features I do for magazines . And I offer up some thoughts on writing . But in the past year, I realized that the best way to blog as a writer is simply to write, to showcase skill without having to talk about it. I'd say that realization transitioned my blog to a "lifestyle"...
