Introduce Yo' Self!

I am happy to see more and more followers recently and to be getting so many comments from new people! I try to make it to all of your blogs but people slip under the radar sometimes so I want to give you the chance to introduce yourselves! So here's a quick questionnaire to answer and then leave a link to your blog and I will come by! Also, go check out some other blogs and make friends! :] And please introduce yourself whether or not I have come to your blog! I always love learning more about other bloggers and making friends! And if your email isn't unblocked for me to respond to your comments you should check out these tips for figuring that out over on Gentri's blog!

Now answer away!!

1. What is your blog about and how long have you been blogging?
2. What is your favorite book?
3. What is your favorite lunch sandwich? {I may be using this to get ideas because I'm bored with my normal choices...}
4. What is your favorite DIYproject/recipe/hairstyle/etc. that you have tried from Pinterest? {If you haven't done one what is one you want to do? And if you aren't on Pinterest leave your email and I'll send you an invite! It's fun stuff!}
5. What is your favorite blog post that YOU have ever written?

Now I'll answer these questions and leave you with a picture of 'le bump' for good measure!

1. My blog is about my life with Race and our future little one. I try to write about all the little joys in our lives.
2. This is a hard one but one of my favorite books is a true story called Hannah's Gift.
3. My favorite lunch sandwich is peanut butter with honey and bananas!
4. My favorite Pinterest recreation would probably be these headbands that I made a TON of!I need to find a  more spring/summer appropriate recreation to do soon though!
5. This is also a hard one...good luck to all of you! I think that one of my favorite posts is...Somewhere Over the Rainbow  where I wrote about some of my hopes and dreams for my future with Race. It's fun to look and see  how much closer we are to reaching some of those goals/dreams!

Le Bump as of Sunday: 

I'm excited to get to know all of you! :]

And give me a few days to get to all of your blogs! But I will be coming by for sure!!

Introducing My Swap Sponsors!

I am sure that you have seen my Swap Sponsors over to the left but I wanted to introduce all of them to you as well!

Name: Kylie Pond

Name of blog/shop: Love Always & Blissful Blooms Boutique 

Social Networking: Pinterest & Facebook for Shop 

Here's what Kylie's blog is all about: "Pretty much my blog is amazing. The end. Just kidding! In all seriousness, I put my heart into writing my blog, keeping track of the adventures I have with my husband. I'm a lover of photography, cooking, music, movies, books, and crafting....and all of that shows up on my blog. I also have an etsy with my good friend where we sell hairpieces, belt, and wreaths. I'm all about learning to love always, and recognize the little things."

Kylie's favorite thing{s} about fall: "The changes outdoors! I love changing leaves, crisp temps, and beautiful landscapes."

Something Kylie is SUPER grateful for this year: "This year, I am super grateful for my testimony of prayer. Simple as that, prayer is truly my lifeline. It is so comforting to know we are never truly alone in this big ol' world."

Name: Autumn 

Name of blog: Stay gold, Autumn 

Here's what Autumn's blog is all about: "I was raised where fire flies came out every summer night and met my husband on a blind date in a desert. We are both in graduate school, complete opposites, and I am surviving my first year of teaching Special Education. My blog lets me sort things out on a computer screen, relate to people, keep in touch, see my personal progress on goals, and have a memory bank." 

Autumn's favorite thing{s} about fall: "My favorite thing about fall is crunching leaves when I walk and of course- all of the cheesy jokes because of my name. :)"

Something Autumn is SUPER grateful for this year:  "My husband and I spent the first two-and-a-half months of our marriage living on complete opposite sides of the country so both of us could work on the educational and career goals that feel right for us. I am grateful to know that Heavenly Father is always mindful of us- especially when He asks us to do hard things." 

Name: Kaycie

Name of blog: Redhead Memories 

Here's what Kaycie's blog is all about: "I love memories, so that's exactly what I do  on my blog: document them and reminisce. I blog about my newlywed life, my cat, photography, all things vintage, and anything that makes me smile. I also have a terrible memory, which is pretty ironic."

Kaycie's favorite thing{s} about fall: "The feel of it outside. I love the beautiful scenery and wearing a warm fall coat to take a walk in the crisp, chilly air."  

Something Kaycie is SUPER grateful for this year: "This year I’m most grateful for my husband. He never stops trying to make me happy. And he does a really great job. :)"








Name: Brooke
Name of Blog: Silver Lining
Here's what Brooke's blog is all about: "Hey there! I blog over at Silver Lining, where I ramble on about silly hapenings of my everyday life, my {sometimes disastrous} domestic attempts, the handsome mister, and my love of bell peppers. I believe it's all about the little things in life, and in my blog I try to capture the small moments of silver lining that make our lives so significant. So head on over. Check it out, leave a comment, grab my button. Why not, right? Plus, I believe in reciprocal blogging, so it's a win-win :)"
Brooke's favorite thing{s} about fall: "Crunchy leaves, crunchy apples, crunchy bell peppers {I'm apparently on a crunchy kick right now}, as well as the start of a new school year {elementary school teacher, can't help it} and of course those drop-dead colors on the trees."
Something Brooke is SUPER grateful for this year: "This is the first year I have a HUSBAND, and I cannot even get over that crazy guy!"








Name: Ali Mills
Name of Blog: Our Happily Ever After
Here's what Ali's blog is all about: "I got married December 2010 to my high school/college sweetheart ;) My blog is just about our life together and our crazy adventures. We also just found out that we are expecting our first child! We are so happy and scared all at the same time! 
Ali's favorite thing{s} about fall: "My favorite thing about fall is that once it starts cooling down it means Christmas is very very close! And Christmas is my absolute favorite, The Grinch, hot chocolate, presents, Christmas trees, lights etc. ;)"
Something Ali is SUPER grateful for this year: "One of the greatest blessings in my life has been my family. My husband is the BEST support I could ever ask for, and my parents, grandparents, and brothers are so great to me and they can always make me feel better. My parents are especially excited to soon be grandparents. I couldn't be more grateful for them in my life! Come by and say hey! I love meeting new peeps from the mighty blog-o-sphere! ;)"
