Pardon My French

There are people in the blogging world that you meet and think, "Wow, I would really like to be friends with her in real life." That is exactly how I felt as soon as I "met" Kelsey from Pardon My French. She was one of the very first people I met through the blogging community. She always leaves the sweetest and most genuine comments, the kind of comments that keep bloggers coming back day after day. The first thing I noticed about Kelsey, besides being hilarious, is that she has serious style. It's not just the "oh I saw that trendy outfit on pinterest style," but the timeless, "why can't I look like cool" kind of style. Not only that, but she manages to look cute even while wrestling 3 adorable kids. She is the cutest momma ever and always has the funniest stories to share. I hope you go check out her blog, because I know you will lover her as much as I do!

What is your favorite thing about living in Alaska? Or what is something people may not know about Alaska?

I think my favorite thing about living in Alaska is just the sheer beauty that you live around on a daily basis. You live among some of the most beautiful scenery, and the wildlife that surrounds you is crazy! Waking up to a Moose in your front yard is quite the experience. Or driving to the grocery store in the summer and seeing a bear, just not things I could have ever imagined before. 

Something people may not know about Alaska is, there are no snakes, cockroaches, killer bees, or termites!! Not bad huh? 

You always look so fashionable. What would you say your "style" is?

My style is totally dependent on my mood. I can go from girly one day, to completely grunge inspired the next. I love fashion and I think it is so fun to experiment with all different trends. 

What is your go-to outfit?

My go-to outfit is most definitely a blazer, graphic tee, skinny jeans, statement necklace, and whatever footwear the Alaskan weather will allow me to walk around in without breaking a hip!

What does a day in the life of Kelsey look like?

Oh man...close your eyes and picture a tornado except instead of 110 mile per hour winds I have 3 extremely energetic offspring! My days are filled with diapers, caffeine, smashed goldfish, lego building, more diapers, and an abundance of laughter!

What are three posts on your blog that readers should not miss?

-The backstory to our Army life

-Welcome to the jungle

-Things I wish I knew before moving to Alaska

Travel Babbles

I am so excited to introduce you to Kym from Travel Babbles today. I was lucky enough to get her as my blogging big through the bigs and littles blogging network. I've always loved her blog and have loved getting to know her over the past month. She is super funny and inspiring and her post on why she blogs always helps remind me why I blog. After you read a little bit about Kym below, head on over to Travel Babbles, you won't be sorry!

Hi there! My name is Kym and I blog over at Travel Babbles. I was born and raised in Massachusetts, and I currently live in Denver, Colorado with my husband TJ and our tubby English Bulldog, Brutus. You can learn more about all of us here. 

I started blogging back in 2010 when we moved to Germany for the first time when my husband signed a contract to play hockey over there, and since then I've documented our travels between Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Texas, and a second stop in Germany. We have what some consider to be a very unique and interesting lifestyle ... but we like to keep things very simple. My favorite thing about being the wife of a hockey player is that we're constantly on the move, exploring new cities and meeting new friends from all different parts of the world. My favorite place that we've traveled to thus far has been Hanover, Germany because it was a completely life changing, breathtaking experience, and we were able to take a little holiday to Paris, which is a city I never thought I'd get to see in this lifetime.

While Travel Babbles simply started out as a personal blog for my mom and grandma, it's slowly evolved into my creative outlet, my diary, my recipe book, my photo album, and my travel journal. It's become a collection of my favorite things, pieces of my heart, our hockey life, our loss, what inspires me, and the many things that make me smile. The most interesting thing that I've experienced as a blogger thus far has been meeting other bloggers in real life. It's totally weird, but really cool that we live in a world where we can develop relationships with people who are located all over the world ... and it's even cooler when you're able to take those relationships offline and meet your "virtual friends" in real life!

I hope that you'll stop by Travel Babbles to say hi, and that you'll enjoy my little space on the interwebs as much as I do - I look forward to chatting soon! xo
