Bloggy Scavenger Hunt & Giveaway

I mentioned it a week or so ago - I'm co-hosting Mrs. White's Bloggy Scavenger Hunt!

Today's the big day that we all share our finds and link up.

In case you're totally lost, here's the list that we are all searching the blogosphere to complete:

And now for my finds:

My wild spot:
If you're a regular You.And.Me.Are.We reader, you know that I love a weekly linkup called His & Her. The genius behind it is Bethany from Love the Grows. I could live with giving up all of my linkups except His & Her!


A post I've read more than once:
This marriage strengthening post is written by Emily and Tim from Today's Letters. After being inspired, Trevor and I have adapted the same idea {and some of the same questions!} to fit our own marriage. Someday I'll share those details with you, but until then I strongly recommend you read this post and try to adapt it for your own relationship.


A goofy shot of one of my favorite bloggers:
Ok, this one is hard! I've been scouring my favorite blogs and nobody is gutsy enough to post goofy, crazy pictures of themselves!
Wait, except for maybe Jade at An Organized Mess...

She's still pretty gorgeo even like that, am I right or am I right?!

Favorite recipe find:
Guys, I can't pick just one! I've tried and tried but it's just not going to happen! I examined the recipes that Trevor and I love the most {therefore, make the most} and I noticed that many of them come from Gina at Skinny Taste. We enjoy eating... and we don't exactly love working out... so that means we tend to try to eat healthy. I've never made a bad tasting recipe from Gina - I love that eating healthy doesn't have to mean eating bland!

Most creative craft or fashion post:
Any of Sarah's posts {she blogs at Thrifty Decor Chick}! I've spent hours reading her posts and getting inspired. The first few months of being married and trying my hardest to make our house look decent was directly inspired by her. I know I technically need to point you in the direction of a post, not an entire blog, so this one will do the trick!
 

My bloggy BFF:
Carrie from Frugal Foodie Mama and I have said more than once that we would get along tremendously well if we ever met up in person. Too bad she lives in West Virginia and I live in Wisconsin... if only we could teleport.

A post I strongly relate to:
Ashley from After Nine to Five published a post titled My Life's Inferiority Complex a couple weeks ago. I can't even begin to tell you how it made me feel knowing my thoughts are similar to other bloggers - just go read the post. Seriously. Do it.


Photo of a great blogger smile:
This is Aunie {and a cute little bird}. She's the fabulous lady behind Aunie Sauce! 

A post that did {or could} make you snort milk:
Again, I'm totally going to have to generalize here because there are too many posts to pick just one favorite! Anything written over at Living in Yellow is freaking high-larry-us. Erin reminds me of a girl I went to high school with - no matter what she says, she can make it the funniest thing ever. Until she says something else, and then that takes the top spot. If you read any of her posts and don't laugh well... well... then that means you are a Grinch that doesn't have a funny bone in your body! So yeah, get your butt over there now for some good laughs.  
My 'go to' - for help, advice, a daily read, etc:
I know - from experience! - that if I need any help with anything {blog, school, encouragement, etc} that Paige from Eloping Stethoscope will be more than happy to lend an ear, or answer a question. She's an incredibly sweet blogger who is also a newlywed and also in nursing school. To say that she knows where I'm coming from is an understatement.

All of these wonderful ladies have made my time blogging so much fun and completely worth it! I couldn't ask for more supportive and encouraging people to surround myself with :) ...even if this post did take three hours to write...
Now it's your turn! Link up, my pretties!
Plus, just to make this sweet deal a little sweeter, here's a giveaway - hosted by Mrs. White. a Rafflecopter giveaway
