Hey lovelies! My name is Kate and I blog over at Dancing in the Minefields. My blog is part Mom (I’ve got a 2 year old and 1 year old…crazy!), part link ups (I’m really partial to Neely and Amber’s It’s Okay Thursday), a sprinkle of travel (okay Disney), some photo blogging (mostly my kids) and a whole lot of random. 🙂 Sometimes I get serious, but mostly I’m just here for a good time.
My 5 favorite things? Easy. (I’m excluding people, because that wouldn’t be fair. :))
1. Diet Coke. I’m kinda addicted. (Also coffee…and wine.)
2. My iPad. <3
3. Any and all things BROADWAY and Dance! I own a dance studio, naturally.
4. Disney…movies, music, memorabilia, Disney World. Yeah, I’m a huge nerd. It’s cool.
5. Gilmore Girls. I even named my daughter Rory. 🙂
What have I gained from blogging…first and foremost, I’ve gained friends! Being a business owner, working full time and staying home with kids full time gets to be awfully isolating. Blogging has helped me make friends that I talk to daily. It’s so nice to be connected with other women.
The number 1 thing I want to accomplish this year is finish getting back in shape. I know, I know. EVERYONE says that but I mean it. I’ve really committed to getting back in “fighting shape” as my mom would say. It’s a slow but steady process. I’m taking it one day at a time and just doing my best. It’s frustrating but I know it will be so rewarding in the end!

1. What your blog is about?
Hi friends of Neely! I’m Erin and I write over at Bless This Nest. I’ve been married to my husband John now for a little over a year and currently we are trying to expand our family. At my blog you’ll hear me talking about our life as semi-newlyweds, our battle with infertility, and our most recent adventure… adoption! (Well we’re looking into it right now!) Occasionally you’ll see me throwing in a few posts on my favorite beauty products, random thoughts and stories, and of course pictures of our 4 (yes you read that correctly, 4!) furbabies! I hope you’ll stop by and say hi!
2. Tell me 5 of your favorite things
Diet Coke, I’m completely obsessed!
My husband, yeah he’s pretty okay sometimes 🙂
Trashy television shows- I simply can’t help myself!
Reading- I don’t know what I would do without my Kindle Fire, it was the best present I’ve ever received!
Road Trips- seeing the country just makes me happy
3. What do you think you have gained from blogging?
I’ve learned so much about myself. I had such a tough year in 2011 and it’s amazing to read back through my old posts and see all the things I’ve overcome. Not only that I can see how much I’ve grown and changed and that’s a pretty good feeling!
4. Biggest accomplishment or thing you would like to accomplish this year.
I’d either like for us to get pregnant naturally or start the process of adoption so that by 2013 we can become parents. 🙂
________________________________________________________________________
my blog is my creative outlet for people to see what i’m loving, what’s inspiring me, projects I’m working on, etc. Basically it is what I decide to make it each and everyday. There is no set agenda, no obligations.. just me posting about things that are relevant to my life!
five of my favorite things (in no certain order) are: my husband, iced coffee from starbucks, my sewing machine, creating//designing new ideas//things, and springtime in texas.
through blogging I have found my voice in an oh-so-creative world. I have made friends, become inspired, and have been able to share my journey with people who i know IRL and on the Internet!
this year I would love to (and am working on!!) designing my first line of skirts for my shop, Cotton Lane. I don’t want to say too much.. but it will be something for the big girls & little girls… 🙂 This would be a HUGE accomplishment for me!

5. What is your biggest pet peeve?
My biggest pet peeve is when blogs get so big they forget about how they got there or who go them there.
It’s always fun to meet new bloggers!
