A Mommy Lifestyle {guest blogger}

Today I’ve got a guest blogger to introduce you to!  Take it away~

Welcome to A Mommy Lifestyle.

I am a first-time 27 year old American Mother, newlywed to an Israeli man, Business Woman & I am pursuing my PhD in Psychology, plus So Much More. My crazy beautiful life can be humorous, enduring, and sometimes maddening. All in all, I take it day by day and try to be as perfect at everything we women do, with an understanding that it won’t always happen. Follow me on my journey to perfecting A Mommy Lifestyle.

I enjoy blogging about everything but mostly it’s about learning to be great at being a woman. We have many roles and tasks that we do every day. With that said, I love Fashion & Beauty, Food & Entertaining, Organizing & Decorating, Babies & Family life, and Crafting.

Here are some my favorite posts so far!

Nancy @ Small Things with Love {guest blogger}

Today I’m so excited to have Nancy over on my blog!  Her projects are ah-mazing, & I’m so excited to have her share some of them with you! Take it away, Nancy! :)

Hi, I'm Nancy and I blog over at Small Things with Love.

I could not be more excited to be guest posting here today.  Ginger's blog was one of the first that I really got hooked on.  And then, after you are hooked reading a blog, pretty soon you have to start blogging yourself (isn't that how it goes?).

I have been blogging for just under a year, and in that year I have learned a lot--and created some fun projects along the way.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Felt Mug Cozy for those cold winter days.

Jamie @ Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom {Christmas Break Guest}

Hello Ginger Snap Crafts Readers! 
My name is Jamie, and I blog at Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom.  

I'm thrilled to have the chance to spend a few moments of Christmas Break here at Ginger Snap Crafts!  I love visiting Ginger's blog, she is so talented and it always makes me happy when another one of her blog posts pops up on my reader! And of course, I visit every Wednesday to link up at her link party! I love sewing, crafting with my kids, photography, cooking and reading.  My blog, Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom is full of fun tutorials, craft projects and recipes.  I would love for you to stop by for a visit sometime! Here is just a little glimpse of what you will find on my blog:

Kimberly @ A Night Owl {Christmas Break Guest}

Hi Ginger Snap Crafts readers! I'm Kimberly and I blog over at A Night Owl, a blog about the evening antics of a working mom! I'm wife to my best friend Andre, and mother to two adorable boys, AJ and Alex. In my "spare time" you can likely find me on Instagram, and I enjoy crafting, photography, thrifting, parties or a quick and easy recipe. This past year I have really enjoyed sharing this aspect of my life through the blog and connecting with so many amazing people. I always love to meet new friends and would love for you to come by and introduce yourself! I just think it's fabulous that Ginger is taking a break this holiday season to spend quality time with her family; I find myself scaling back these last couple of weeks as well and trying to get things in line for Christmas. It's such a fun (and busy) time of year! As I reflect on this past year, there are a few projects that stand out as some of my favorites and I wanted to share those with you!

Jutta @ Creative Chaos {Christmas Break Guest}

Hello friends of lovely Ginger :-).

I am Jutta from Creative Chaos.

Actually, my blog started out as 'Organized Living Solutions', but reality quickly established itself, and I had to change the name.

I am on a mission to beautify life, especially through paying attention to the normal, ordinary, day-to-day dealings and things. On the blog you will find my various attempts and the occasional rambling. As I am not the most patient of people, most of the DIY's are quick and easy.

Here are five of my favorite projects:

Paula @ Welcoming Spirit {Christmas Break Guest}

Hi there! My name is Paula and I'm super excited to be one of Ginger's Christmas Break-ers :) I usually blog over at Welcoming Spirit, which I started in 2008 to chronicle my adventures as a retreat leader at a Franciscan retreat center in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now I mostly write about our two year old son (Zoom), spiritual reflections, crafty home renovations, and other projects around our home. This year we bought our first house, a little bitty 1971 Spanish style ranch that needs a lot of love. I work full time in advertising as a project manager, and Sean is back in school, studying to become a chef. Our life is a wild ride, very busy, and I am absolutely grateful for every minute.

So what have I been up to this year?


We moved across the San Francisco Bay to a new-to-us home. Come take a tour of our new place (messy rooms and all)!

Carrie @ My Favorite Finds {Christmas Break Guest}

Hi, Ginger Snap Crafts readers! My name is Carrie, and I blog over at My Favorite Finds. On My Favorite Finds, you'll find tutorials, recipes, organization ideas, and Disney travel tips! I love to share my {FAVORITE} ideas with my readers, and I hope you’ll check it out. I’m addicted to Starbucks, reading, shopping, and my sweet kids and hubby. I’m always looking for a new recipe or craft to fill our bellies or beautify our home. I’m also slightly addicted to planning, and going on, Disney vacations with my family. I love sharing my ideas about Disney planning on my blog AND on Chip & Co. Each week I host Must Try Monday, where you can share your must try recipes with my readers!
Come over and join in the fun.

Elizabeth @ Lizy B {Christmas Break Guest}

Hi all!  I'm Elizabeth and I write all about cookies over at my blog Lizy B!

I have lots of fun recipes and tutorials for making gorgeous sugar cookies. (They're not always as hard as they look-I promise!) Of course, you can't write about cookies all the time (okay fine, I totally could), so I have lots of fun stories about the munchkins and being a mom, wife, baker and blogger all at the same time.
