From Blog Life to Real Life Link-Up

So I'm a day late jumping on this bandwagon, but it seemed like such a fun opportunity, I didn't want to miss my chance! Today, I'm linking up with Britt @ The Magnolia Pair and Jessica @ Lovely Little Things for this fun link-up party. Here are the questions:

1. Do you have any real-life blogger friends?

As a matter of fact, I do! My friend, Erin, whom I met my freshman year of college was actually a huge inspiration for me in wanting to blog in the first place. She got married in 2008 (the same day of my Mom's wedding, so unfortunately I wasn't able to be there) and has one adorable baby girl with a bouncing baby boy on the way! I love keeping up with her life as a new Mommy and wife!

One of my best friends, Whitney, also recently started blogging. If you follow my blog, you may have seen her Valentine's Day guest post or know that in a couple short months she'll be standing beside me at the altar! Whitney blogs about her life as a Marine wife currently living in Pensacola, FL and getting ready to move to San Diego. It'd be an understatement to say I'm super jealous!

2. Which blogger are you just dying to meet?

Katie @ Hope Engaged

For starters, she clearly has the best name ever! But seriously, she is a bonafide globe trotter and I would just love to hear more about her travels. She's just one of those people who I feel like I would connect with right away if we ever met!

3. Which blogger's closet do you want to raid?

Natasha @ Hello Happiness

I'll be honest, if Natasha didn't seem so sweet, happy and just genuinely a good person, I might be super jealous of her life. She's got a loving hubby, a beautiful baby girl and a killer wardrobe!

4. You are stuck on an island. Which blogger would you want with you to help you survive?

Colleen @ From the Firm to the Farm

Not only is Colleen a Marine lawyer (which automatically makes her badass) she is also a huge proponent of ethical and sustainable food practices. No wonder I love her! If there's any one I would trust to help me scour for plants and keep away intruders, it'd be her!

5. The first blogger you remember "meeting" and connecting with?

"Lucy" @ Lucy the Valiant

"Lucy" (not her real name) was one of the first blogs I found and I read it religiously to this day. Aside from the fact that her baby girls are the cutest things you ever did see, Lucy is such an inspiring woman and a brilliant writer!

6. Any blogger than you admire and look up to?

Carly @ Texas Lovebirds

You may remember my post mentioning Carly's campaign to incorporate prayer into her blogging. I was so inspired by this and just thinks she's a beautiful, Godly woman in general.

7. Who is the craziest/funniest blogger?

Amy @ Pregnant Chicken

I am constantly reading birth stories and trying to imagine my life in a few years- pregnant and mothering. It's super unsettling so I love Amy's site. She answers the questions about pregnancy, labor, etc that no one wants to talk about, and she does it with a terrific sense of humor!

8. There's a reality tv show for bloggers, who would you wanted to be casted with you?

Rachael @ Kincaid Parade

I don't really have a reason aside from the fact that she's a mama of five and just seems like a genuinely fun person to know.

9. Some bloggers have really cool jobs, anybody you'd like to swap careers with?

Mandy @ She Breathes Deeply

She's part-time Christian yoga teacher, part-time Mama! Plus, she's part-time earthy, hippie lady which I obviously love!

10. Favorite blog design?

Danielle @ Sometimes Sweet

 

Her design has this fun, almost nautical feel to it. And bonus: She's a beautiful tattooed Mama and awesome blogger to boot!
