Kay @ Life After Blog


Hello cupcake lovers!
I'm Kay, I blog over at Life After...


I am a new wife to my husby John.
We have a crazy whirlwind love story, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

We are no strangers to the hard work that goes into marriage.
He is my best friend, and we try to have LOTS of fun together always!

I'm also a new MAMA. 
Jack (better known as Da Bubba) is the light of my life.
This child is TOO MUCH.
We love him long time over in these parts! 

My current job title reads: Stay at home mom - GASP! At 23 no less!
Safe to say, making mom friends is like - impossible.
Thank God for blog friends :) 
& liking your family a lot helps too!


I am far from Martha Stewart
and the word "super" hardly comes to mind when I think about my parenting title.
But I do sometimes try to do hip mama stuff like make my own baby food 
& cloth diaper 75% 65% of the time...

I may be considered a "mommy blogger"
But I'm also a 20 something blogger & newlywed blogger.
We have good days...bad days.
& everything in between. 
I'm returning to school in the fall for my Master's in Social Work.
Basically it's about to become a new kind of crazy.


I hope you stop by, give Bubba a little love, and even join us on this crazy ride :)


Thank you Kay!!!!! Cutset little baby ever!! Now go show her some cupcake love!!!

Blonde Moment (or deaf moment):
So on Saturday night Eric and I were watching the pre-lims UFC fight.

Well I hear the announcer say Scrappy Doo while two of the guys were fighting. (did you automatically think of Scooby Doo?! heehee). So you know how they have nicknames? Well...I thought one of the guys nicknames was Scrappy Doo...so I was asking E why on earth would someone pick that as a nickname. E said...NO...the announcer said scrappy dude.

oh..ok...

turns out the fighters real nickname was Wolverine.

my bad...

Have you had any blonde moments this week?!

I think I'm just dreaming of longer hair!

Summer Faves: from my Sponsors!

Have you met my sponsors yet?!
You may have seen some of them from yesterday's post or checked them out on my sidebar all month.

Well...find out just a little more about them today!

Take it away ladies!




Hello!  Myname is Amy and I am the author of The Charming, a lifestyle blog thatincorporates art, wellness, and inspiration.  Like many general lifestyleblogs, I like to use my blog as a journal some days, but also to share with theworld what inspires me to be a better version of myself -- holistically. I am in nursing school part-time, so I love tying in wellnessdiscussions, but I am also a part-time photographer and I love every minute ofit.  I look forward to meeting you!

What I love about this summer:
This is the first summer off I have had since graduating I was a Junior in high school.  I have been going to school year-round and now I finally have the summer off -- and it comes at a great time because...
I'm getting married June 16th!
Then we are off to Hawaii for our honeymoon, have his birthday, and my birthday to celebrate, then a friend of ours is getting married.  Summer is officially our season!




Hi!  I’m Katie and I am a wife, lover of Jesus,third grade teacher, aunt, runner and crafter. I also may have a slight addiction to sweets and finding clearanceclothes.  I started writing my blog formy sister Lauren and sister in law Lauren who wanted me to share daily outfitposts  In high school I honestly woresweatpants to school every day, so I think I’m making up for lost time!  When I started blogging I thought I wouldjust post pictures of my outfits, but I realize that is a small part of what Iwant my blog to be.  My blog is a mix ofmy style and craft projects, occasionally funny stories from teaching and whatI’m learning in life!




Hello Ladies, my name is Breanna and I blog over at My Beautiful, Crazy Life. I am a junior in college majoring in Human Nutrition, although I am a complete food junkie. I am saved by God's grace and for that I am eternally grateful, which is why I strive to live each day for His Glory. I also have a love for creating beautiful things and capturing life's little moments. Speaking of creating beautiful things, I will be opening an etsy shop this month that will be stocked with hair accessories, headbands, and jewelry!  If you head on over to my blog you'll find a hodge podge of topics ranging from fashion to daily encounters in my life. I hope you'll stop on by and stay a while :)
 What I love about summer:
1) I love spending time at the beach, in fact I live by the beach and spend a lot of time soaking up the sun and digging my nose in a good book. :)
2) I love the fact that during summer I am relaxed & carefree!
I don't have the burden of school work which definitely makes for a nice summer :)
3) I love all the cute summer looks, which brings me to my favorite summer activity; shopping! :)


 



Hey yall! I'm Cassie & I blog over at The Spontaneous Designer. An indie biz blog where you can find tutorials, blogging 101, indie biz 101, showing off shops I love. Basically everything blogging/indie biz related! I have been blogging for over a year on my other blog and have had a shop for almost a year and I have had such a great time learning all the tips and tricks I'm going to be sharing! Hope you will come say hello!
3 of my favorite things about summer: BBQing, swimming/tanning & summer nights!






I first began my blog in April of last year as a way to document the end of my high school years. Now it has evolved to be about all things fashion and beauty related. I love to bake too and am hoping to include some more recipes on the blog soon along with some DIY projects. I am also obsessed with chevron and mint green, which you'll see by my blog design!
Favorite Things About Summer: 1. Teaching swim lessons 2. Making homemade ice cream
3. Traveling home to see family




My name is Britt Renee. I am a bubbly, energetic girl that loves photography, graphic design & the entertainment industry. I am very fidgety & can't sit still very long. One of my favorite things about summer is getting to jump into the warm ocean or pool water. I love swimming, but don't like swimming in cold water : ) lol at least 78 degrees and I'm good! : )


Happy Sunday y'all!
