Founders Note:(Britney)Today on the blog we have Mariel of Living for his Glory . I have enjoyed getting to know her and  her awesome blog this month. So today she is sharing a little bit more about it with you. I love her cookbook post here , and her posts on her adorable daughter are so fun to read as well. 1. Tell me a little bit about the story behind Living for his glory? I started Living for His Glory as a newly married girl wanting to share our story with people. I believe the Lord has done a lot more than that through it. I've been blogging for over 2 years and in that time the blog has evolved into something I never thought possible. The Lord has truly used this place for His glory and every day I am reminded to blog for Him and not me. Sometimes that means sharing things I wouldn't want to share. It means putting myself aside to allow the Lord to use me through this blog! 2. How did you come up with your blog name? I wanted my blog to be all abou...

What's the story behind Simplicity Relished?   I was stuck writing my senior history thesis in a drafty library while it was blizzarding outside. Needless to say, I felt trapped. In that moment of desperation, I created Simplicity Relished as a space where I could be free to express myself with no boundaries or limitations. I only posted a few times for a while, and did not even tell anyone until about a month later! Now that I've been working on the blog for a while, the vision has come together a bit more coherently. I desire to share elements of a simple, creative ...

So be sure to check out her awesome blog at the links below! 1.What is the story behind Caravan Sonnet The story behind Caravan Sonnet emerged over time honestly. I had blogged on and off for a number of years on other blogs that I had but I never truly felt connected to those blogs. Two years ago I knew that life was changing in many ways (moving home, the plan to concentrate on graduate school only, taking a year off of teaching) but could never have imagined the  radica l ways that it was truly to change (not...

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have  Christine from So Called Homemaker. She is sharing a little bit more about herself and her blog!  I really enjoyed getting to know her more through this post, So be sure to check it out at the links below! 1.   What is the story behind your blog name? Honestly, when I was starting my blog and thinking of names, it just kind of came to me.  Since I am technically a “work at home mom” instead of a “stay at home mom”, I’m not really a homemaker.  But I still cook, clean, and take care of my kid pretty much all day, every day, so in that sense I am a “homemaker”.  Hence, the “so-called” homemaker! 2.   How did you start blogging? A “real life” friend had started blogging and I saw how much fun she seemed to be having, so I decided to give it a shot! 3.   whats one thing that you love about the blogging community? I love that for the most part, this community is all about bu...

Getting to do blog designs is super fun and an awesome creative outlet for me.  2.

What is the Story Behind Dearest Love, and how did you come up with your blog name?  A couple of years ago, I decided to change my blog name when I purchased a domain. I thought about it for weeks before I decided on Dearest Love. For a few weeks, I made a point to jot down ideas throughout the day when a word caught my attention or made me feel happy. The words  love , dear , and  dearest  were written down the most so Dearest Love came out of that! I also wanted my blog name to reflect my love for God, who I consider my dearest love of all time.  2. what are your fav...
