SPONSOR OF THE MONTH
Silvie from My Silly Little Gang
Through Silvie’s posts, she shares the details of raising my silly little gang of boys and the different things she encounters in her life as a mommy. Including crafts, recipes, and reviews, she enjoys blogging and all the work it entails. It definitely keeps her on her toes, but it’s rewarding for her when she receives a comment from a reader letting her know they enjoy her post. Her goal is to grow her blog into all it can be. As a mommy blogger, she has had the opportunity to work with several brands to review their products or places.

I’ve never been a, “I have to have my coffee or I can’t function” type person. Thank God. I do enjoy coffee though, and have learned it certainly helps as a sleep deprived mom of 3. It’s a rare day I get to actually drink the coffee though, and I usually have about 4 half empty, or half full if you want to be an optimist, cups of coffee spread throughout the house. Here’s how drinking coffee typically goes in this house. (Mind you, MANY steps of the day are missing. This is just a generalized run down of the coffee drinking process.)
“My name is Shanice. I’m a playwright/actress. I love just about everything creative. If I wasn’t organizing, I was writing a story or a play or acting or re-designing somewhere in my home. My room was a canvas for my creative ideas… Now that I am currently a stay at home mom. I needed a new activity to do on my spare time in between my son’s naps and taking care of my siblings. I love writing and creating new things! Which makes this the perfect place to share affordable creative ideas of mine that floats into my head. When you can’t find something that suits you perfectly then create it! I hope you find a some inspiration, some design and something you will love to create yourself. ”
“Well, hello! I’m Becca. I sew, crochet, knit (kind of), and pretty much just love to figure out how to make things look better. I just graduated with my Master’s in Social Work from Arizona State University *Go Sundevils!* Now I work for the state.”
“Hi, I’m Deborah Davis. And I’m delighted to welcome you to our “vibrant-conscious-lifestyle” magazine: Urban Naturale. Urban Naturale was developed to help inform and shape your path to living healthy, green and natural, by design — which, we know, is no easy task!”
“I’m Leigh Anne and I’m so happy you’re here on Houseologie. I was born and raised in southern Louisiana but now I call West Virginia home — I couldn’t live without these mountains now if I tried. I love all things house & home. I thrive on making an ugly room beautiful and the process in between. DIY, thrifting, cooking, decorating — I do it all and I’m learning more every day. My husband and three kiddos put up with all my crazy DIY ideas pretty well, even if they do give me looks sometimes 😉 I’m excited to be sharing my journey to making our home a place we love to be.”
“Hi everyone!!!!! I am a Mum to 4 girls ranging in age from 6 to 16 years of age. I live in Sydney Australia with my husband and girls which provide me with many challenges in day to day life. We are a very close family who try to have some fun everyday while navigating the ins and outs of problems that many families in todays society face. Girls have their own unique set of challenges and having 4 scattered over a period of 10 years I am navigating all the different challenges from child, tween to teen all at the one time. That can be very daunting and scary at times but also I think it places me in an interesting position to be able to write from all aspects of girls through childhood and on to adolescents. I started blogging to give me another outlet during my day, with my youngest off to school next year I am faced with not having a child in the house during school hours, something I have not dealt with in over 15 years! So what better way than to share my insights into girls and maybe pass on some valuable tips and tricks to fellow Mums. I am open to all sorts of questions, but be aware that all opinions are just those, opinions!!! I don’t profess to know everything about girls, what person does??? especially the teenage girl! However if we can share our ideas together maybe things may not seem so hard sometimes.”

“Hi, I’m Lauren. Some people…well, most people call me Lew(Initials are LEW). Kids usually call me Lew Lew. I am a lover of Christ and seek his face, goodness and will every day. I believe the bible is TRUTH and stand firm in it. I am a baby lover. I’m especially head over heels for my 2 year old, Halston. As a single mom, I have a VERY special bond with him and I just love watching him learn and grow. I am a foodie, and nutrition fanatic which leads to some serious “should I or shouldn’t I” anxiety. I work full-time as a Managing Director for a boutique staffing company. I love to write, blog and vlog. I am passionate about sharing my heart and story with strangers. Sounds weird but, true. I started this blog because I believe sharing truth, struggle and triumph is what builds true relationships. I want to share from my heart in hopes of helping someone to step out of their solitude or feel a sense of belonging. I also have felt the Lord tugging at my heart to be bold in initiating more relationships and building a community. I pray that I will be transparent and create open communication with readers like you. In this blog there will be DIY posts, posts about party planning, love, parenting, faith, struggles, empowerment, fashion, beauty, food and anything else that I feel called to write about. I hope that I can help, teach, comfort, lend an idea or become a friend as I document this Wilde life!”
“Welcome to Structure in an Unstructured Life! I am a full time working mom to two adorable and energy-filled boys, ages 7 and 4, and the wife of a football coach. As you can guess, life gets crazy and chaotic around our house at times! But being a lover of order, organization, and simplicity, I am constantly trying to find calm amidst the chaos! In the posts of this blog, you will find the ways I create structure in our often unstructured life. My quest for structure is intertwined with my quest for happiness, so besides meal planning and organizing tips, you will also find my thoughts on happiness, parenting, marriage, and life.”
“Well, hello there. My name is Chelsea: 22-year-young twin mom, Lupus warrior, Health enthusiast, Full-time foodie, Part-time blogger, and Football fiance. Join me as I try to make this world we live in a better place to be. John 14:12.”
” Hello friends, I am Sarah. I am 20 something married to my best friend and expecting. This is a bit about me…. photographer, food crazy, horse lover, crocheter, hair braider, artist (armature), pin addict, blog doer, vintage lover, saved sinner. : )”
“Welcome to my little corner of the blogoverse. I started my very first blog forever ago during my first year of law school – at the suggestion of my grandmother, of all people, so that she (and other family members) could keep up with my 180 in life (going from starving artist to starving law student). That was back when people would ask, “what’s a blog?” After 1L, I kind of let the blog dwindle. Then I started a new one where I mostly ended up sharing recipes. It wasn’t until I got pregnant and started this blog, that I started regularly posting again. This blog is about my adventures in working mommyhood. I tend to post about once a week, sometimes more – but I am a working mom and sometimes (ok, often) life gets in the way. I’d love to write even more, and have made several resolutions in the past to write more often, which I’ll do for about a week or two – and then I’ll go a week and a half without posting anything . . . such is the life of a busy working mom.”
