Tell us about yourself!
I'm a middle school science teacher addicted to earrings, iced coffee, and the color hot pink. Ten months out of the year I call Germany my home, where I serve the children of missionaries at an English-speaking school called Black Forest Academy. Currently I'm in America with several goals in mind: spend time with my family, get a tan, stock up on Chipotle burritos, and, most importantly, raise the funds needed to return to Germany in August.

Over at Beyond the Blackboard I write about the lessons learned in teaching, and the adventures of navigating my small German village with the equivalent of a 2-year-old's German language ability. A year ago I began designing jewelry to serve as a tangible connection between me and the people who support me - whenever someone puts on my necklace they (hopefully!) remember to pray for me and my ministry at BFA.

What is one thing you're really passionate about?
I am passionate about supporting and caring for the children of missionaries - also called Third Culture Kids. TCKs lead such unique lives and have such unique needs, and they are such a blast and blessing to work with!! I am beyond blessed to get to walk with some of them through the rocky middle school years and see them off to high school, and due to the community at BFA I have a chance to be more than just a teacher. I firmly believe my job is about more than teaching science, hence my blog title. My desire is to use the classroom as a starting point, but to take my relationships with my students beyond the classroom and into real life. They are learning just as much from the way we teachers conduct ourselves as they are learning from our textbooks - a sobering reminder to pursue righteous living!! My students are like built-in accountability!

Hi Y'all! I'm Amanda and I blog at Royal Daughter Designs. RDD is a Christian Lifestyle blog where I chronicle my adventures in ranching and gardening; my crazy attempts at creating veggie-filled recipes; and my slight obsession with my fur babies. Since I know that not everyone can afford to hire a professional blog designer, I also offer helpful tips for beautifying your blog in my Tutes on Tuesday series.

What is one thing you're really passionate about?
I am passionate about snugging my husband, a true-to-the-Bible view on Biblical Womanhood, and being a leader, not a follower.


Tell us about yourself!
I'm just your average sweet-toothed, music-loving, superhero-obsessed college girl making her way through love and life one day at a time. I started Lattes and Love with the intention of chronicling my college years, but it transformed into so much more. Once I really got into the blogging community, I found my voice and pieces of myself I couldn't believe I'd let slip.

Now my blog is all about life and all the little things that make up who I am. You'll find fashion, beauty, music, books, writing, tips/advice, adventures, rants and raves, fitness, and of course all my crazy adventures with the boyfriend. What would Lattes and Love be without the boy who provides the love, right?

I'm an aspiring writer who's about to be a senior in college and move into my first house (with three good friends) which means cooking adventures are on my horizon. Stay tuned and join along while I piece out the crazy puzzle of my chaotic, beautiful life.

What is one thing you're really passionate about?
Love and the power it has to transform lives.


Tell us about yourself!
I’m a faith driven girl and passionate lifestyle photographer. I’ll regrettably admit, I’m a bit addicted to social media. I seem to have a constant connection with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. I heart Starbucks, the colors yellow and grey, mountain biking, and the piano. I have two amazing daughters and admirable husband that are my world.

What is one thing you're really passionate about?
Besides my faith, its photography. Hands down.

Hi I'm Carolyn, wife to my best friend and mom of two (Sophia, 7) and (Micah, 5). I came up with the name of my blog in 2008 when I was trying to describe motherhood in three words. In early 2011, I became unemployed and spent some time trying to figure out what the future holds. I don’t know what the future has for me career-wise, but I’ve discovered that my favorite job is being a full-time wife and mom. I love to knit, sew, quilt, bake, embroider, crochet, try my hand at photography, and decorate my house. When I’m not chauffeuring kids around, I create handmade Rosie Rosy jewelry. I hope you will stop by my shop and check out my lovelies!

What is one thing you're really passionate about?
Above all, I love the Lord, my savior. I'm an avid runner and love to train for races. Not many people know that I have a collection of bundt cake pans that am proud of! My guilty pleasure are Hot Tamales (the candy).

Hey lovelies- I'm Kristen and I blog over at Confessions of a Graphic Design student where I have been sharing my school experiences, dreams, life as a wifey and furmom, and everything in between. I'm obsessed with coffee, blogging, Photoshop, winged eyeliner, and anything that makes me laugh! I'm graduating this month with my Associates in Graphic & Web Design, so I'm pretty excited for what the future holds. I'll soon be changing things up around my portion of the blogosphere, so make sure to stop by and see the "new" me!

What is one thing you're really passionate about?
I don't talk a lot about this on the blog but HAIR and BEAUTY!

I'm Andrea! Wifey to my hunky Hubby. Mom to two very busy, and very loud boys. I like to make awesome, bright, fun things! My blog includes glimpses of the many projects from around our house, and also glimpses into the complete chaos of parenting two crazy kids. My shop is full of decorative wood blocks. I like to keep them simple, and fun!

What is one thing you're really passionate about?

I stumbled upon your blog while visiting someone's blog through the "GFC Blog Hop". Your little mama bird charm necklace was so cute I decided to check you out and am now your newest follower. ^.^

I'll be back by to revisit your blog, but right now I'm in the middle of doing my Tuesday link-ups before it slips my brain. I'm working on my first coffee, my left brain hasn't woken up yet. lol

Whenever you get a sec, I'd love if you were to come visit me @ Cathy Kennedy's Blog
