There Is So Much To Love!

 Stock-template

Love the Here and Now is one of the most beautiful blogs on the internet. Anne has become a friend  and her site is one of the first on my daily reading list. She consistently provides fantastic blogging tips in her Blogging Basics series and never fails to inspire. I’ve been honored to have Anne as a sponsor for the month of October and today I am excited to introduce you to her. After getting to know her, you will soon understand why there is so much to love.

How does your work differ from others? 

The beauty of a lifestyle blog is that it is constantly changing and evolving as we do. I share snippets of my life and experiences which definitely are unique to me. I am also a huge fan of sharing blogging tips and tutorials because I have found that with blogging there is so much to learn. Why not pass along that information and make someone else’s blogging journey a bit easier as they learn to navigate the ropes?

What three words describe you? 

Curious: I enjoy learning new things!

Sarcastic: It’s second nature to me; not the mean sarcasm though. Nobody needs that in their lives!

Loyal: I subscribe to the notion of quality over quantity. If we are friends then I have your back. Friends are the family we choose so I love nurturing friendships.

What three words describe your blog?

Informative: Hopefully!

Real: You’ll get the good, the bad, and the ugly here. I like to keep things real and relatable.

Soothing: I have tried to create space that I enjoy and take comfort in so I hope that others enjoy their visit to my bog as well.

What three post should a new reader begin with? 

10 Ways to Make Your Blog a Welcoming Space We want others to find our spaces to be a place they want to return to…these tips might help!

Anxiety From Two Perspectives: I mentioned sharing the good and the bad….you will find that when you open up others relate to you and you receive some much needed support and encouragement.

Getting the Most Out of Your Styled Stock Photos I’m a huge fan of styled stock photography as my photography skills are lacking. This post shares how you can get more bang for your buck!

What goals or dreams do you have for yourself and your blog in the next year? 

My goal for myself is simple. I want to learn to love myself as I am. I want to feel confident and feel positive. I felt like I let myself go a bit as I feel pulled in so many directions as a full time working mom, wife, and blogger. I have taken control and have made some wonderful lifestyle changes and I am slowly learning to love the skin I am in again and it feels great.

As for my blog, I want to continue to share my love of blogging with others yet continue to balance that with the everyday life stories. I want to continue to grow yet return to the basics of why I started. Finding that balance and maintaining it are definite goals for me.

How do you spend 30 minutes of free time? 

Thirty minutes of downtime is a rare thing! I love to read and soak in a hot bubble bath. There’s nothing like a soothing bath to relax and refresh you.

Now for the quick question round.

Favorite Food: Pasta

Favorite time or day of the week: Mornings // Saturdays

Favorite Movie: The Princess Bride

Movie Star Crush: Since I don’t go to movies or watch them at home I am at a complete loss….How bad is that??

Which actress would play you in a movie? I guess I can’t use the same answer as above can I? Let’s see….Amy Poehler.

What’s your number one listened to song on your playlist? If it’s the Beaches by The Avett Brothers

Favorite Vacation Spot: Florence Italy (honeymoon)

Favorite Season: Fall!

What would you name the autobiography of your life? Love, Life, and Simple Joys

The one thing you can’t live without: My Family!

      These are some of my favorite posts to do also. I find that posts help us to get to know them more than simply clicking on a sidebar button sometimes.

    Anne was the first person I connected with when I started blogging – and I’m so happy I did. Things work out in mysterious ways, don’t they?? She’s GREAT!



    • Sheryl @ How to Make a Life on October 29, 2015 at 7:29 am

      I found Anne a year ago when she was having a sponsorship promotion. I am so grateful that I connected with her – and everyone that I have found as a result. She is simply fantastic!!

    Anne is the greatest. Seriously, she is my blog mentor. And I agree that it’s one of the loveliest spaces!
