Alexis from Christian WifeStyle

Hi Glistening Ambition readers! My name is Alexis and I am from the Sunshine State and love it! I am new to the blogging world but I am having a blast so far! I just started my own blog, Christian WifeStyle, where I share about my life as a young married lady trying to live a life pleasing to Christ! Even though I feel like I am still a newlywed, I have been married for almost three years. Not sure when the "newlywed" classification wears off. No matter what, I am still learning more and more every day about being a good wife and I never plan to stop learning. I have already met so many nice people through blogging and I can't wait to meet more! I am excited for the future of Christian WifeStyle and I hope you will be a part of it! I love being in contact with readers so hopefully I will hear from you soon!

Kate from Classy Living

Hi, I'm Kate and I blog over at Classy Living!  I'm a twenty-something aspiring elementary school teacher, striving to live classily as I transition to the real world from life as a college student.  I love Jesus, teaching ZUMBA, reading good books, spending time at the beach, and baking gluten-free goodies.  This next chapter of life will definitely be an adventure - join me as I document this exciting new journey! :)


Stephanie from The Sweet Life

I'm a 25 year old girl raised in sweet home Alabama. I went to the University of Alabama and that's where my love for college football really excelled. I graduated from college in May 2010 with a degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I moved to New York to work as a nanny in December 2010. I ventured off to the Bahamas in April to continue my work with my New York family. I blog about my adventures, my family, and my life. Welcome to my blog. The Sweet Life.

Be sure to check out last month's sponsor spotlights here and here if you are new to the blog.  Many of these girls are still sweet enough to sponsor my blog this month!

Coffee Mug Swap!

I recently participated in an awesome Coffee Mug Swap at Suzels Says!  I was paired up with another blogger and we sent each other a coffee mug.  How fun is that? 

I was paired up with Melissa from Perfect Peace.  She is such a sweet heart and her blog is great, y'all should check it out!  I'm in love with the vintage feel of this mug!  My Mom laughed at me when I received the mug because I don't drink coffee.  Well I told her I love to drink hot chocolate, and seriously y'all should see the coffee mugs we have to drink out of.  They are so old and not very appealing.  The cute mugs we have cannot be put in the microwave because they spark and make loud popping noises.  I think the microwave might blow up if I leave one in too long.  Melissa also sent a darling set of notepads!  I can't wait to use these wonderful gifts.  I might have to pull out the hot chocolate, even though we are having 90+ degree days here!

Check out the coffee mug I sent her here!

Friday's Letters

Dear Gus, it’s only been 6 days since I’ve seen your lovable puppy face, but I miss you dearly.  I’m dreading the day I have to send you off to hunting school.  Maybe I will accidentally forget to take you and we won’t tell daddy!  Dear boyfriend, I’m so happy I’ve had the chance to help you get settled in to this new place you will call home for the next 3 months.  I’ve been a little bored at the apartment by myself because I’m too scared to explore a foreign city alone, but I’m happy it’s the weekend and we can explore together tomorrow!  I’m also sad that I will be leaving you on Sunday, but I plan on visiting often, and I hope this time apart will draw us even closer.  Dear Julie Lessman, I thoroughly enjoyed your book A Hope Undaunted.  This is such a huge compliment because I am not a reader, especially not a 500 page book reader.  I can’t wait to read more about the O’Conner family in your series, the Daughters of Boston.  Dear Louisiana, you are very different than your neighbor I like to call home, Texas, but you are a very fun state.  I was astonished when I saw that you could buy liquor in the grocery store at all hours of the day and night.  I also adore the beautiful architecture found in the Garden District of New Orleans, and I can’t wait to visit the gorgeous plantation homes.  Dear Nursing School, do I really have to start back to class already?  At least it’s only one class, one day a week.   

Have a safe and fantastically fun Memorial Day Weekend!
