Thank you, November Sponsors + a giveaway

I don't know if you know this, but All My Love for All My Days has many wonderful sponsors.  Some of mothers.  Some are teachers.  Some love fashion and other love to cook, but there's one thing that they all have in common.  They are all passionate about what they write about.

I don't know about you, but that's something that I can appreciate--a person who believes so strongly in their passion that they are willing to invest time, energy, money, and intellectual power into advancing their passion.

I know these ladies would love if you would take a few minutes to stop by their blogs and follow along.  Plus, if you do you'll get points in the giveaway which everyone know increase your chance of winning a super sweet prize like a Starbucks giftcard or even a sponsorship spot on their blog.

November Sponsor Spotlight! & Giveaway!

Today I have the amazing opportunity to introduce you to three wonderful blogs and one very stylish shops.  I have great enjoyed developing a relationship with these lovelies.  I have no doubt that you will enjoy them too.

I asked these ladies to share why they started blogging.  I've always thought that was an interesting topic.  Below each picture is their words.

Make sure to read to the end.  There's a giveaway I know you'll want to enter.

ModaMama

Because I needed an outlet for my fashion and creativity and a reason to get dressed in the morning. 

My Beautiful, Crazy Life

In perspective, I started this blog to make friends, while sharing my journey through life. 

Tutus and Tea Parties

I love crafting. Always have, always will! My mom crafted with me when I was younger and it definitely gave me my crafting skills I have today! My friends, well, they aren't so crafty. They didn't get as excited as I did about glue guns and such. I needed to share my excitement about crafting (& parenting) with people who would get as excited as I do so I decided to start a blog. It was overwhelming at first...but I love where this little blog of mine has taken me.  

Outfit Additions

And that is a few of our sponsors.  Here's the giveaway...

Guest Post from Kim of Singedou[b]t and a giveaway

Hello friends of All My Love for All My Days!  

I am excited to be here today!  Thanks Danette for letting me hang out out here with your lovely readers!

My name is Kim and I blog over at Singledou[b]t.  I've been blogging for about a year or so, give or take a few months.  I blog about lots of things from my faith to my hobbies.  

I've been going back and forth for a week now on what I wanted to talk to you about. There is just so much going on in my life. 

I thought I'd spend some time talking about a few of the things I am thankful for.  We are definitely in that season so it seems more than appropriate. 

MY LORD

I am Christian. I have been since I was 13.  And like any relationship, I've had my ups and downs, my tantrums and demands, my awakenings and heaping tablespoons of humility.  In the 23 years I have been a follower of Christ, I have never stopped believing that I follow a God who loves me beyond my understanding and who wants so much more for me than I could ever imagine.

MY FAMILY

I, like most people, have an interesting and often crazy family, though small.  I have two parents who are still madly in love with each other and who support their kids no matter how they might disagree with them!  I can't imagine two better parents!

MY CHURCH FAMILY

I have been blessed to be a part of many churches in my 23 years as a believer.  Each one taught me something new about my Lord and myself.  I am now part of a new church plant, Trinity Grace Church Washington Heights. I am amazed every day at how amazing these people are

MY BEST FRIEND

Like churches, I have been blessed with some amazing girl friends in my life.  My sweet roommate and BESTEST OF THE BEST is my sister at heart and in Christ.  I feel truly blessed to have her on my side!

MY ART

I am a fickle creature.  My attention span can often be small but some things that stay true to who I am and what I love is my passion for creating.  Whether its my photography, my knitting, or some other random creation I am working on, I truly love figuring out how things work and how I can create it myself.  

Now these are just a few of the things I am most thankful for!  

What are you thankful for?  I'd love to hear them!

To say thank you to Danette and her followers, I am offering a giveaway!  I am giving away an item from my shop.  

Winner's choice of:

~ An infinity Scarf

~ A set of dish clothes or scrubbies

~ 2 Swiffer covers 

or

~ 1 8x10 photo from City Girl Photography

So get to entering and stop by and say hi to me over at Singledou[b]t.

Thank You Readers

Dear Readers,

Thank you for taking time to read and comment on posts on this blog.  If you have read very many posts then you've probably realized that one of my life long goals is to use my blog to inspire people to change their world.

I can only hope and pray that through this outlet you have felt inspired and empowered.  Truly, we all have the power to change the world.  We just have to do something.  We have to move.  We have research.  We have to act.

Thank you for your support.  I so appreciate the comments here on the blog, on twitter, on Google +, and on Facebook.  I'm just like most women.  I have doubts.  I wonder if when I post something that I find to be pointed if it will offend people.  (Truly, that is never the end plan.)  But your comments and shares really lead me to believe that what I'm writing is resonating--that it makes sense to someone else besides me.

Thank you for supporting this blog with your sponsorships.  That truly helps me.

To say thank you in a more tangible way I'm hosting a giveaway.  To celebrate you I am giving away two copies on Blog Inc.

source

As most blog readers tend to be bloggers themselves I have no doubt that you will benefit from this book.  Blog Inc. by Joy Deangdeelert Cho (you can read more from Joy here) is one of the most challenging and resourceful books I've read.  I believe that it will help inspire you in your quest to be a better blogger and to use your blogging to change your part of the world.

Thank you again, readers.  I appreciate you.

Thankfully yours,

Danette

Meet the Lovely Ladies of the Sidebar + a Giveaway

There is one thing that I love about being a blogger.  I love the connect that it brings to this great big, crazy world.  Today, I have the honor of introducing you to the lovely ladies of my sidebar.

These ladies aren't just bloggers, but they're people just like you and me.  Some are mothers.  Others aren't.  Some are married.  Some aren't.  Some love crafts and reading and decorating.  Some just like to share their lives.  One thing is true about all of them though.  They are all women trying to make it in this crazy world--just like me and you.

Please, take a few minutes and head over to their blogs.  Check out their posts.  Make a new friend.

Samara from the Secret Life of Samara

blog/pinterest

Samara has been told that she thinks too much.  But what's wrong with that?  She finds so much joy in life and now she wants to share that with you.

Brit from These Happy Times

blog/facebook/twitter

Brit is quickly becoming one of my favorite people in the whole world.  She's a mommy and a wife and she's absolutely in love with Jesus.  And she has a majorly cute shop.  Check it out here.

Kristin from Tales From the Nook

blog/pinterest/twitter

Kristin is a self proclaimed techie and believe me it's true.  She started a journey to change her life by changing up her diet.  She's started living the Paleo way.  I can personally attest to the difficulty living a new life style, but she's making it.  Check her out.  And because she's a techie she would also be a great virtual assistant.  She can help take your blog or business to the next level.

Kim from Singledou[b]t

blog/facebook/twitter

Kim is an artist, a writer, a photographer, a knitter...a true creator.  She may be one of the bravest ladies I know.  After all, she did move to New York City by herself.  Head over to her blog and read some of her delicious recipes.  

Lauren at Fizz and Frosting

blog/facebook/twitter

Lauren and I are new friends, but there's one thing I know all ready.  She is a great dresser.  She's got taste.  I love seeing pictures of her three puppies.  

Bea of Daily Living in Geneva

blog/twitter

Bea is another new friend.  She openly admits that she wants to be a fashionista and she is on her way!  Stop by and see the products she loves and wears.

Brooke from the Intentional Momma

blog/facebook/twitter

She's a professional turned momma and a wonderful one at that.  I love reading about the crafts that she plans for her little one and you will too.

These wonderful ladies have put together a very rad giveaway.  (Yes, I'm a little surprised that I wrote rad too, but it seemed to work.)  Make sure to enter and spread the word!

For the Love for Coffee Link Up

I love coffee.  I know that I've already written at least two posts about my love for coffee, but seriously, I love coffee.  I'm one of those people who travels out of her way to avoid going to the same Starbucks because the baristas will remember that I was there at their store earlier that day.   Yes, that's me.   The one watching her rearview mirror before pulling into the coffee house hoping, praying that her friend doesn't see her pulling in...again. I'm one of those. And I'm proud of that. Show your coffee pride and link up with us today...or this week...or at least sign up for the giveaway.  It's a good one.
See you in the html, Danette

Hey all you coffee lovers! Today is the day that we celebrate our
beloved drink, COFFEE!

We are linking up our stories, recipes, favorite flavors, and memories

made with coffee in hand. Anything about coffee and how much you

love it goes! Best part is you get to meet other coffee addicts,

yay! 

* This is not an intervention d: *

Let's get things kickin'!

This is only our 3rd month for this link up, and I am excited to see
how it has grown. Shooting for 40 link ups this week. Yes, this is
much smaller than the average link up, but I am hoping this small
(shall I say intimate?) kind of link up allows for more interaction,
more networking, and more READERS rather than followers.

1. Link up your post about your love of coffee

2. Follow all of your hosts (the first 5 links)

Dalayna @Pointing Up

Torie @Lattes and Love

Mia @Chronicles of
Chaos

Brittany @Yellow

Danette @All My Love For All
My Days

3. Meet your fellow coffee lovers :D

4. Enter the awesome caffeinated giveaway from our lovely
hosts after the linky.

Jennifer shares, "[I blog because] It is my creative outlet. It is one of the things that is just for me. It doesn't belong to my kids, my husband, my family. Just me. It's all mine, and I need that."
As I've read Jenn's blog I have found her to be a very positive. Every Wednesday she writes a series called What I Love Wednesday. She is so great about commenting and connecting to her readers. On top of that, she has three kids. I remember a tweet from last week. School's fixing to start for her kids. She's putting them on a schedule. I think that's good. Kids need structure and love and she's giving it to them. You've got to stop by her blog!

Brit writes about blogging, "I blog because I love to write. I love meeting new people and making friend connections. I hope that through blogging and sharing my life that I can inspire others to just be kind and love. I also wish that through me blogging, people find hope or humor when they visit my blog." I think we can all agree that Brit does inspire us. I know she inspires me.

This young lady is my sister, Dalayna. I love her very much and I love living with her...at least most of the time. If you haven't, you need to check out Sister Talk. It's a vlog series that happens every Monday.
When asked why she blogs she wrote, "To escape from my older sister." Now, we all know Dalayna is fool...excuse me, full of humor, so we must pardon her ridiculous use of satired prose on this occasion. However, with her next impropriety it shall be off with her lovely head. No, really, I love her.

And now the moment we've been waiting for...a giveaway!

Giveaway? Who doesn't love a giveaway...Parenting Week #3

Several of my blog friends are doing giveaways.  I love giveaways.  I really love winning.  I think most people are the same way, but because I love giveaways, I also know it's hard to enter every giveaway that comes up in your Twitter feed.  Most of the time I'm checking into Twitter on my phone and there's no way to enter all of them from there.

Today I wanted to share a sermon from Willie George and Church on the Move.  Having grown up watching The Gospel Bill Show, I have long admired and respected Willie George's ministry and the impact that he has on the next generation.

Recently I was snooping on their church website (sometimes I do that), and came across this sermon that he had preached the previous weekend.  As I was watching, I quickly discovered that although this is specifically for parent's he had some encouraging information for people in any kind of authority.

Hope this message helps you because I know it inspired me. :)
