Coffee Addict, Fashionistas & Pampered Mama

I've talked about the fact that I will not be posting large giveaways on my blog anymore. This may change in the future, but for now, this is the decision I've made. I still have sponsors though, and I still wanted to offer a way for you to get to know them. These are some of the sweetest women and I encourage you to check out their blogs.
From now on, I will be featuring my sponsors and bringing you prize packs from them that center around who they are as bloggers and what they love! If you love the same things, go say "Hi", become friends, and enter to win their gifts. If you don't connect with them, that's fine! You can just create relationships with the bloggers you choose to. I love this because it doesn't force you to follow 900 blogs...rather it presents you with new friends and leaves the rest up to you.
So here are five lovely ladies that I would love for you to meet!

Coffee Addict: Christine

Christine blogs over at Life With A Side of Coffee. She obviously is obsessed with a big cup o' joe, among other things. She's a tv obsessed, book loving, celebrity watching, music finding, 20-something. She's a student finishing up college in Chicago. She loves the city, but hates the wind.  She wants to work in entertainment, but if she could make a living off of her writing, her life would be complete.
I love that she posts on so many different topics and I'm jealous that she lives in Chicago near so much of Ryan and I's family! I'm currently living vicariously through her and her coffee addiction...since I had to put mine on hold for 9 months!
Christine wants to give one of you a coffee mug and the choice of a bag of your favorite coffee or K-Cups!

Fashionistas: Brooke & Laura

Brooke:

Brooke and I met just a month or so ago. I quickly fell in love with her. She is one of the sweetest, most down to earth women I have met. Brooke blogs over at Wide Open Spaces. No, she didn't pick the name from the Dixie Chicks song (although it gets stuck in my head everytime I visit her blog). She chose the name because her blog covers basically everything in her life: Recipes, daily life, kids stuff and her huge love of makeup and fashion! She is a 20-something mommy to sweet Madison, and a loving and caring wife to Tim.
I love that she has an excellent fashion sense even though she is a mom...She gives me hope that I can still be cute even after a baby! I also love that she is so encouraging and kind to other bloggers.

Laura:

Oh do I love Laura. She volunteered to be first up in our Alphabet Dating series! She is so stinkin' fashionable and cute. She blogs over at Walking In Memphis In High Heels. I am constantly jealous that she lives in Tennessee. Ryan and I would give anything to go back!! She just started blogging back in December, but already has a faithful following of wannabe fashionistas. Her and her husband live in Memphis and they have two little puppy children - which, if we're honest, are just like real children in a puppy mama's eyes. I love that she just started focusing on accessories and jewelry to spice up your wardrobe. I also love that even though she adores fashion, she still posts on other areas of her life as well.

Brooke &  Laura want to bring out the inner fashionista in you! They are offering one lovely lady a $25 Kate Spade gift card and a jenny present charm necklace (worth $102).

Pampered Mama: Sybil

I wish my mom was as cool as Sybil...I mean, my mom is pretty cool, but she doesn't have a blog. Sybil blogs over at Peace It All Together. She is a wife and mother and started blogging almost a year ago! She has two adorable daughters and one son. Her son is special needs, which is very near and dear to my heart. My sister is actually a teacher for children with special needs. Sybil started her blog in response to the still, small voice of God. She is so inspirational to me and I've kind of adopted her as one of my 'blog moms'. I love that she's balancing a career with her marriage and family and that she focuses on encouragement of the people she finds in her life. She definitely understands the need and importance for mom's to get a little break and peace in their lives now and again.

Sybil wants to send you a pampering package for you!

For You:- Bubble Bath- Candles In Your Favorite Scent- Relaxing Reading Material (An Issue Of Your Fave Magazine)- Other Relaxation Bath Goodies
