For the Love of Blogs

Hellooooo, blog friends! :) So nice to meet all of you.   I'm Chelsea and I blog over at www.happybowlucky.blogspot.com ! Please come check it out sometime. I promise to make you feel REAL welcome. Anywhoo. Back to the good stuff. I'm 19 years old. I love Jesus with ALL of my being. I'm ALMOST engaged to this guy pictured below! :) (I know, I know. Gorgeous. And hilarious, too.) I have the best family ever. I have a heart for missions. And I'm currently going to school online to be a teacher. But I don't want to be a teacher anymore. :) (Wanna know why?) Come on over!! Ha. ._. (That's an evil smiley face. ^^^ In case you were wondering.) Hm…. What else? OH! I just recently started blogging. So if you come SOON… you will have hardly missed a THING! And I promise it only gets more interesting. I mean, what is more interesting than me being a 2-headed monster? NOTHING. That's what. (I'm the one on the right.....) I have such good stories to tel

Sponsor LOVE --we asked these fun questions for you--   What do you do to pamper yourself on the days you have off? I make myself the biggest cup of tea possible, cuddle up on our big couch, and catch up on my DVR. After filling my brain with such thought provoking shows such as Project Runway and The Vampire Diaries, I take a long bath and read a few pages of whatever book I'm reading at the time. Is there anything better than taking a bath in the middle of the day? I think not. This is all happening while simultaneously running after my children, of course, so it's in small doses. But I try to get a dose, nonetheless. When I was a kid, I remember being surrounded by cousins and playing for hours in the woods behind our house. We used to build the most elaborate forts and go fishing in the creek on our property. We played until our mamas called us in for supper, our imaginations running wild, our lungs full of fresh air, our laughter filling the trees.

Happy Thursday to everyone. Did you survive the holiday weekend? Did you take a lot of pictures? Good! Because you can put them to use on our We Love Photography Group.  Week#8 Photo challenge has just started, so hop on over and join in.

Hello lovelies! Let's learn something new shall we? In the following post we'll learn how to add Custom Fonts to your Post title, post body and sidebar title. Earlier it was a bit of a hassle to add Custom fonts to blogger blogs. The font had to be downloaded, then hosted somewhere and then embedded in your layout. But now,thanks to Blogger's template editor it's so much easier![ Template Editor > Advanced > Choose your fonts! ] Another way to add cool fonts is the Google Font API. Consider the Font APIs building blocks for you to make a pretty blog. Firstly,remember this before making any changes to your template code,back up your template by logging into your Dashboard > Design > Edit Html > Download full Template.Save it in a location you would remember to upload it again if you mess up the template. No need to be scared!Just follow the instructions and you would be okay. Next, choose a font you like from   Google Font API . There's a

Hi there all you bloggers and bloggettes! My name is Maria and I blog over at Lil Mys Ninja: A Day In The Life Of Maria... Who am I you ask? In short (no pun intended!), I'm a short Filipina-American woman that loves to dance and rides a motorcycle. I'm a passionate woman who wears my heart on my sleeve, a pet owner, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a biker, a runner, a poet, a volunteer, and a Cradle Catholic returned home. I love music, dancing, the mountains, hiking, white-water rafting, tattoos, reading, books, coffee, animals (especially tigers), and running. When I first started out blogging I couldn't figure out how I was going to do it. I thought that I needed to have a theme so what better subject to blog about than motorcycles, considering I'm a female biker? One of my fav photos! Smile...it's contagious! Well, that didn't last long. Not only did I blog about my experience of owning and riding a bike, but I found myself wanting to blog a

Hi there readers/party people/people stalkers!  {let's be real, we all know we stalk people via the internet} No need to be ashamed.  My name is Alisha, and I blog over at   Alisha and Brandon   where I share bits of my life from my home, my photography,  to my faith and my passions, and sometimes I talk about my husband too. ;) A little more you ask?  Hmm, well, I like coffee.  Wait, let me rephrase…  I'm addicted to coffee. I love anything and everything to do with photography.  I take my DSLR with me every where I go.  I don't consider myself a photographer. Yet.  But, I do love capturing a moment in time that you can look back on for years to come.   My handsome husband.   Oh, and I like food.  A LOT.  Coffee and food together - the perfect combination.     Yes, that is all for me.     Delicious cake balls!

Hi y'all! I'm Bri (pronounced like the cheese), and I'm relatively new to the blogging world! I graduated from UNC-Charlotte last December and after I entered the "real world" I quickly realized that there was no "how-to" book for life. Figuring it out has been quite an adventure. I've experienced so much this first year out of school and I started this blog to share those experiences with other young women like myself. My blog is about my fast paced life, I work for NASCAR and I'm on-the-go A LOT! I grew up with three brothers and always knew I wanted to work in sports, so I truly feel like I'm living my dream.  My background is super complex but I love to think all the different pieces make me who I am. I'm a Texas gal, but I spent my younger years living in Mexico City and like to think of myself as a proud Latina! My heart is definitely in the Carolinas and I'm dying to live in Charlotte again some day soon. I've named my

Blog || Twitter we asked some fun questions Question 1-What do you do to pamper yourself on the days you have off? On my days off I like to veg out, enjoy a glass of wine, and catch up on all my shows stored up in the DVR! I currently have an unhealthy obsession with The Vampire Diaries and Modern Family re-runs. I also love to travel when I get a free weekend with the hubby! Living in Germany is perfect for sight-seeing day trips! Question 2-When I was a kid, I remember Grabbing my little sister, popping on the rollerblades, and heading down to our basement to "ice skate"! We had a concrete floor in our basement growing up and my sister and I would spend HOURS down there pretending we were figure skaters (in the Olympics, of course) just skating around and making up routines to Mariah Carey songs. We were totally awesome at it. Do you think I can skate these days? Not a chance. I've since traded my gold medal dreams for two left feet and a cracked tail bone. Story of
