i have been following full circle foodie  for what feels like forever. there are many keys to my heart. one of them? baked goods. kimmie is my source for baking inspiration & i am envious of her baking skills. kimmie is a damn good baker and that's probably why she's also a featured publisher for foodbuzz and a correspondent for cupcakes take the cake.
from kimmie's "about" page...
"i am a texan to the core whose adventures have led me full circle back to the west coast where it all began."
kimmie uses her blog to share "adventures in living, loving and baking."
you must not miss her scrumptious sundays posts. and, a visit to kimmie's blog is NOT complete without seeing what the gabby monster is up to.
please check out kimmie's blog & show her some love.

and, psst...kimmie also sells scentsy.

krysten is, without a doubt, adorable. but, if you ask her, she's weird. good thing she writes the blog why girls are weird, huh? 
krysten is "a daughter, sister, doggy mommy, writer, blogger, student, bookworm, candy lover, server, and tv addict." she loves coffee {me, too!} and the internet {me, too!}. krysten also loves to keep things organized, reading & being happy. krysten's blog is an enjoyable read for me & i'm so glad that my quest for sponsors has lead me to her blog. her writing style is laid back & it's so refreshing to read. besides, krysten is participating in a 30 day harry potter challenge {clearly, i need to get in on that}.
please check out krysten's blog. you'll love it. promise.

meet cheryl from naptime is the new happy hour...

"It's Happy Hour! I'm Cheryl over at Nap Time Is The New Happy Hour. I am a full-time working mama (I am a paralegal) who is also trying to find her balance between working, trying to be a spectacular wife, follower of the Lord, and amazing mom to my sweet face 1-year-old boy. I have FINALLY found my balance...It took me a whole year to figure it out. Oh well, at least I KINDA know what i'm doing around here now and am loving the life that being a momma and wife entails.

Despite working my butt off constantly, I love to SHOP!! On any given Saturday you can find me walking around the mall or downtown with C after having a yummy mexican lunch with the hubby. On Nap Time Is The New Happy Hour I dish about my current fashion obsessions, drool-worthyblogs, beautiful design  inspiration, amazing deals, and great finds. I love me some classic, AnnTaylor as well as some fun, fresh Forever 21. Now that this mama has finally gotten back to her pre-pregnancy weight, watch out! I haven't shopped for clothes for myself in more then 21 months and am more then ready to stock up my closet.

Feel free to e-mail me if you ever have inquiries about the DIY projects I do, concerns or questions as a new mom (trust me, I've been there), or if you want to link up your blog with mine!  I am more than willing to discuss anything and can't wait to hear from you. Welcome to Happy Hour. Cheers!"

y'all, i'm not gonna lie...cheryl is awesome. the girl can accessorize which is something this mama can't do. cheryl recently celebrated her birthday, so check out her blog & show her some love!
