Documenting our life in the sun and sand with our smiley baby in Virginia Beach

I am a 26 year old Christian, wife and mother located in Denver, CO. I have three gorgeous kids Judah almost 6, Ora 3 and Ari almost 1. I love to blog about my family and life.  I sometimes get bogged down with life and don't get around to posting a bunch, but I do love to blog anyway. 

Hi, I'm Meg from The Kissy Pearl! I'm a 20 year-old engaged fur-mama that loves the feeling of yarn. I'm a crocheter, day-dreamer, and a Pit Bull activist. I enjoy all things:  colorful, inspiring, and adorable. I write about my daily life, pup, and the things I find lovely...

After a month or two away from blogging I'm really excited to say that I'm back! I am looking forward to meeting new faces & smiles.


Pacific Northwest born and raised, photographing my way through the day till bed time, doing my best to raise three little ladies with teenager tendencies. All the while, studying to be a doula and navigating this new life as wife to my damn hot husband. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Here you will find the running monologue of the misadventures that are our life.

Marcella, Single mama soon to be wifed up, 2 year old daughter Pella aka PEEJ. Blogging about What life throws at you, the good and the bad, neato baby stuff, and a little bit of everything else in between.


Hi Everyone! I'm Darlene- mamma to 4 year old Jasper (and a baby girl due in April!) and newlywed to Drew. We are currently living and loving in the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado! I blog about everything I'm passionate about, my family, the outdoors, traveling the world, raising my son bilingual (Swedish and English), going organic,fashion, SHOES, and my biggest passion of all- being a mamma.  I'd love to have you stop by and say hi!  

Hi! I am the writer at Life with Cupcakes. I started this blog about a year ago to jot down life as a new mom. The star of my blog is my Cupcake, with appearances from myself and the Bubba. I hope you'll stop by and stay a while.

Shelley and Danny Lemaire are a husband and wife photography team, Danny takes the photos, Shelley edits them and what an amazing team they make! We had the pleasure of working with them back in September (You can see all Family Photos throughout our October & November posts, as well as the photos in our banner & buttons) and I can't wait to work with them again soon! Here is a little tid bit about their blog. Our blog is less of a "Photography Blog" and more of a "A Little Bit Of Everything We're Into" blog. It will be MOSTLY Photography, but we will also be posting our videos, How-To's, DIY's, Custom Editing, Etsy Shop, and Blogs about our family and home. It's a central hub for you to see what we're into and what we're up to.

After the birth of her daughter in 2011, Lauren turned to the Internet to find out how to meet fellow moms. She was disappointed at the lack of resources for area mothers and didn’t have the time to comb through newspaper event listings and corporate websites.

The Reno-Sparks Mom is here to fill that void. With a easy to read event listing with events that matter to Moms, a comprehensive list of local resources and inspiration from a creative blog, the Reno-Sparks Mom is your source for all things motherhood in Northern Nevada.

Come back daily as we highlight the local events and inspiration that matter to you, the Reno Sparks Mom.

Lauren, author of this website formerly known as LaureNspired, created this blog as a creative outlet and a way to keep in touch with family across the country in 2008.  Since then it has followed their little family from struggling newlyweds, to first time homebuyers, to first time parents.

Reno and Sparks are both beautiful cities in Northern Nevada, nestled in the hills (and desert) below the Sierra Nevada mountains.

April Ad Swap

Somehow it's already almost April! What?! While I do feel like this year is already flying by, I am so ready for Spring weather with lots of outdoor play dates and fun!

In February, I started doing Ad Swaps and am going to continue to do so for a while, because it's a great way to advertise without having to spend any money.

So would you like to Swap an Ad with us?

Hi I am Jess and I live in the DC area with my nerdy/worship leader husband Scott and our adorable son Judah who sometimes wears a mustache. I love spending time with my son, taking ridiculous pictures of him, thrifting, drinking coffee and of course crocheting for my business My Charming Colors.  Stop on by, I love making and meeting new friends.

Let's Swap Ads Again in March!

For the month of February we did an Ad Swap and it worked so well that I am going to continue to do so until it doesn't work for us anymore!

Don't know what an Ad Swap is? Basically instead of paying to put your ad on a blog, we would just swap Ads free of charge, so your Ad would go on the side of my blog and mine would go on the side of yours! As a single Mama, it's hard for me to justify paying to promote my blog right now and I find it hard to ask someone else to pay to be on mine. So I mean really, what better way to do it than for free by doing a Swap?

So what do you think?  I've already got a couple of swaps going but would love to do a few more! So if you are interested or have any questions, please shoot me an email at ashleppek@gmail.com and we can figure it all out!

Our Lovely February Sponsors!

So in case you haven't noticed our lovely sponsors over there to the right for the month of February I decided to do an Ad Swap and turns out, it was a great idea! 

So please take a look at all our lovely sponsors!
