Oh happy day....a new sponsor way.

Have you guys met
Nicole from Living with Fletch?

Facebook // Twitter // Pinterest

I have been reading her blog for a while now....from when her and Fletch were engaged. 

{See engagement pics here and here. Cause everyone loves to see gorgeous photo sessions}

I regularly read her blog just before they were married, I was totally in love with their library session engagement pictures. Seriously....I love books that much. 

Then of course swooned over their wedding pictures. I was in love with Nicole's dress, she made such a stunning bride right? 

Then after they were married, I was definitely a regular reader.

She taught me how to curl my hair properly here.

She also was the first one to show me Kristen Bell's Sloth meltdown video {here if you haven't seen it yet}.

Nicole has such seriously awesome taste in fashion and continually keeps me entertained with stories about her and Fletch's married life {here, here and here}.

Oh and if you haven't heard about the cornify app for chrome see here. 

Nicole is also hopelessly in love with Disney. 

So we're lifelong friends now =)

Oh and did I mention she happens to be my newest sponsor.

You guys should seriously head over and say hi. 

I think you'll like what you see.

Much Love,

L

Random Things.

I’m linking up with Sweet Nicole today for her ‘Speed date’link up. 

Awesome way to get to know a few really great bloggers out there.

So the idea is that I share some things that haven’t come up on my blog through my posts yet.

So I will give it a try anyway.

I am British. Although if you met me you probably wouldn’t be able to tell as I don’t have much of an accent anymore.

Some days I feel like Mary Poppins. Or a mother to 7-9 children.

I LOVE chocolate.

I moved around a lot growing up. I have lived in England, Europe, the Middle East and now the US. I have learned to see the current place I live as home. Maybe I’m just pretty adaptable =). The only country where it took me a long to settle was my 'home' country. Weird.

I gave my life to Jesus when I was 7 years old at a kid’s camp, where later I worked as a youth leader.

I played the flute for 9 yrs during school, taking some exams in it...then stopping when school finished.

I taught myself how to play piano in high school. 

I absolutely LOVE craft projects, scrapbooking, sewing, quilting, bead-making...you name it.

 My current project is making a Disney castle out of cardboard complete with Disney princess cut-out characters. This is done with a 4 yr-old don’t worry, not doing it by myself LOL =)

I never really did outgrow Disney and cheesy movies. Some of my favorite memories are sleepovers with girlfriends talking & hanging out.

I really dislike girl drama.

I met my husband when we both went to AWANA together. I liked the look of him the first time I saw him. I also introduced myself to him by walking up to him and standing on his feet. Apparently I scared him a little at the time.

After high school I didn’t know what I wanted to study at college, I took a gap year and interned with my youth group. During this time I discovered that I had a big heart for discipling younger girls! As well as a big heart for purity.

I got a purity ring from my parents after choosing to personally make a commitment to wait until marriage to give myself away to a guy. It was a plain band which my parents had engraved with ‘True Love Waits & the date I made the commitment.’ This ring became my husband’s wedding ring when we got married (his choice). 

When we were little, my sister and I spent a lot of time on boats. Our family owned a small sailboat where we used to spend summers and other vacations. We totally slept on it and bounced around in the cabin when the waters were rough.

I saved my first kiss for the altar as well, a decision that my hubby and I had made together after we officially started dating/courting. 

I went from having one sister to having 5 sisters once I got married. My sister is also soon to marry one of my hubby’s closest friends.

I have the cutest nephew ever! But don’t see him very often as he lives the other end of the country.

We live near my hubby’s crazy large extended family & I LOVE it so much!! They are all such wonderful people. 

Some days I don’t have the energy to do the laundry, cook dinner or make the bed....even though I wish I did. 

I am definitely a night owl. Once 10pm comes around, my brain usually comes up with TONS of fun projects or ideas and of course I want to start them right away!!

I always wish I had taken ballet or gymnastics when I was little.

I sometimes feel like Erin could have been my twin sister.

All of my best friends live in totally different cities to me. 

I broke my ankle on a trampoline when I was 18. Then went snowboarding for the first time 6 weeks after my cast came off. 

I may or may not have spoken to a celebrity about Christ while on a plane ride to LA. ;) Who knows.

I love to travel. One of my favorite memories is when the Lord called me to go on a mission trip to Africa 10 days before the trip was due to start. He opened all the doors for me to get the money & visas together in about 3 days. Which seemed impossible.

I Love sharing my heart about difficult life issues and feeling challenged by others about convictions and walking with the Lord.

I am super thankful for this crazy life the Lord has blessed me with.

There's many other things about me.

But for now, I will be done.

Any surprises for you guys?

Much Love,

L
