{Feature Post} KENDRA from A Proverbs 31 Wife

The joy of having sponsors is that you get to know some great people.  Today, I want to introduce you to one of my Large Feature Sponsors, Kendra from A Proverbs 31 Wife.  
----------------------

Hello, I'm Kendra and I blog at... wait! where are you going? Don't you want to read the rest of the awesomeness I am typing up for you?

Oh, I get it, guest posts are boring. Yeah, I just went through one of my readers and basically skimmed all the guest posts. Why? Boring! And when you have some one like me, who may or may not suffer from ADHD it's really hard to be interested.

Speaking of ADHD, my husband is diagnosed with ADHD. I'm not, at least not by a Doctor. Know why? I hate Dr.s I tend to argue with them a lot, I even argue with my dentist. No! Floride is very bad for you! Where did you go to school at? Ok, so maybe I am a little nicer than that, but you get the point.

Now where was I? Oh yeah, talking about how I may or may not have ADHD. I think I'm going to blog about it one of these days, maybe even put in a part about how I helped hubby get off of his medicine completely and is now taking natural supplements and doing great.

What do I blog about? Well I try to keep it fun. I even blogged about my cat once. And no, I'm not a crazy cat lady! Speaking of the cat, she's out of food, better go right it on the list.

Ok, now where was I? Oh yeah, something else I blog about? My Jesus. I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ and he is my savior. I enjoy sharing bits of inspiration as I go.

Know what happened when I was a tween? I burnt everything I tried cooking! Now? I am an awesome cook! lol Not to sound like I have a big head or any thing, but hubby is gaining weight, I think that may become a problem!

Oh shoot, what just happened? I meant to type up this nice little post telling you all about my blog and I seem to have gotten off track. That happens a lot. :) But this time I will leave it. If you really want to find out more about my blog, maybe you should just pop on over and see what you can see.

My name is Kendra and I may or may not had ADHD. Oh yeah, and I blog at A Proverbs 31 Wife!

-------------------------------------------

Thanks Kendra, for stopping by and sharing with us!

Monday Meet Up: Linky Party!

Its Monday!  Mondays, for me, are nice cause I work on Sundays.   They mean a slightly restful day.  I hope you are all having a great day!  Today, I am swapping with Brooke over at Covered in Grace for the Monday Meet up Link Up.  I simply adore Brooke.  She's been such an amazing blessing as I've been learning to navigate the blogging world.  I've learned so much of what it means to be a compassionate, humble, Christian blogger from her.  I am excited for you to get to know her more today!

-------------------------------------

It's time for another Monday Meet Up!

Hello new friends!! I'm so happy to be blog swapping with Kim today and to get the opportunity to meet you all.

My name is Brooke, and I blog over at Covered in Grace. There, I write about life as a mother, student, military wife, photog wannabe, writer and Jesus lover. You can find Kim over at my blog today; be sure to head on over and check out her post! 

For those of you that don't know me yet, I thought I'd answer a few questions about myself so yall could get to know me a little better.

1. How did you come up with the title of your blog?

Covered in Grace was something that had been rolling around in my head for a while. I had been blogging at My Beautiful Brooke for a long time, and while I was ok with the title, "beautiful" because HE sees me, it still wasn't sitting well with me-not completely. Covered in Grace encompasses what I believe, how I live, and pretty sums it all up. I am Covered in Grace through faith in Jesus.

2. If there was one blog post that you'd direct your readers to, what would that be?

Oh man, I'd direct you to any of my faith posts, but right now, the one that I love so much, that really tugs on my heartstrings right now is "...all summer long."  You can also see a branch off of that post at From the Guest Room.

3. What is your go-to quick fix meal when you've spent too much time on Pinterest/Your Blog been very, very busy?

Ha! Pancakes? Biscuits with eggs? Anything breakfast!

4. What is something you're looking forward to this coming summer?

I'm finally going back home to Texas for a visit!! I have been stuck on this rock in the Pacific for two and a half years (without leaving) and I am sooo excited to finally head out for a little bit. My little brother is getting married! And I'll finally get to see my niece! Woo!

5. Do you have any goofy talents or specialties?

Why, yes. Yes I do. I can make a siren sound by throat-chopping myself. It's very, very awesome. I think I'll do a vlog to demonstrate. Stay tuned!

6. If you could be a character from any book through out the entire story, what book-what character?

Oh, that's easy. No question. I would be Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser...wife of Jamie Fraser. (oooh la la) She's the heroine in the best books ever....the Outlander series. If you haven't read these books, YOU MUST! These are the books I recommend over all others.

7. What is the best piece of blogging advice that you've ever received?

Be yourself. Write about what you want, feel, believe. And don't worry about the numbers.

8. What is your biggest dream?
To grow old with my husband. But after that...it's to become a published author...to just be a writer and have my words reach the masses.

9. What is your favorite Saturday morning like?

Waking up whenever, breakfast with the family, heading outside to be in this gorgeous Hawaiian weather...

10. Why do you blog?

I blog to practice my craft. To use my gifts. To reflect on my spirituality and faith. I blog to glorify God. To share my favorite things. To network with others. To maintain daily writing habits. I blog because it has become a fantastic hobby...and because I love it.

I would love it if you'd stop by and visit me from time to time!
