"The Girl Behind the Blog" VLOG announcement!!

Have y'all participated in the "Girl Behind the Blog" VLOG link up

If not, you NEED to!!

and guess what?

I am SO excited and honored to be this month's co-host with Ashley!!

AND, Im super excited about this month's prompt:

*HOW HAS BLOGGING CHANGED YOU?*

I know for me personally, it has changed how I think about some things, how I value community, how I reflect in my heart, and (obviously) I take more pictures! hehe.

It has added to my life in a way I had NO idea it would!!!

I love me some "Ashley 5ohwifey" (that's how her name is in my phone) :)

She is one of the most open and real bloggers I have met.

She is not afraid to share her heart about anything, and is such an amazing example of just working through her faith and life with the Lord... as a Mommy and as a Cop's wife.

I don't even remember how I found her blog, but she's one that I keep up with consistently and always look forward to.

We became friends on the bird (thats what I like to twitter),

and have built a friendship over the last several months.

I am so thankful for her heart and for the tool God is using her as through her blog.

(isnt she beautiful?)

Several months back, she started a monthly link up called "The Girl Behind the Blog".

which is where bloggers can make a VLOG, yes that's a Video-Log, so that your readers and bloggy friends can get to know you on a new level.

A face-to-face level. :)

If you have never vlogged, or are nervous to....be comforted that most everyone is.

Or look at it as a good opportunity to laugh at yourself and how many times you say "um".

jk.

no but really...

it is SO fun!!!!

I have enjoyed it so much when I have linked up

(you can watch that here and here and here)

and i LOVE watching other friends on their vlogs.

You really do feel connected in a different way.

convinced now?

So, here is the prompt for this month's Vlog...

Hope to SEE you!!!!
