Fancy Meeting You Monday

Ok all, here is another great new blog hop that I am excited to have found!  Fancy Meeting You Monday from those great ladies over at Midday Escapes and One2Try, a couple of my absolute favorite blogs.  You have to join this once, it looks like a blast.

Just to introduce myself to the new followers and readers to come along.  
I am Eloise, a 36 year old SAH mommy to two little girls, ages almost two and almost eight (their birthdays are both in September).  I have been married for 15 years almost to the hard working love of my life and now we have acquired a new family member in our 4 year old mutt name Chase.  I love to blog, love to find new blogs to read, love music and sports and running reviews and giveaways for everyone to enjoy.  That is me in a small nutshell!

Enjoy the blog hop!




Welcome to Fancy Meeting You Monday - Blog Hop hosted by Midday Escapades and One 2 Try. We love finding new blogs and hope you join us by linking your blog.

Simpy Stacie

In Stacie's own words:

I am the mother of two beautiful girls and I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I began my blog in December 2008 after discovering the world of blog reviews and giveaways. I thought it looked like fun and something I could do as a stay at home mom. I started out by hosting my own giveaways for stuff I had at home. I remember how excited I was when I was contacted to do my first review! It just kind of grew from there!

Since then, my blog has grown in leaps and bounds. I still do reviews and giveaways, but have started branching out into social media and helping other bloggers. I always do my best to share my finds with others either on blog or my Facebook page. I have a team of reviewers (both book and product) from the US & Canada who are fabulous ladies to work with. I love talking to my readers and other bloggers and am always trying to think of new and fun things to do with my blog! Its been a great ride so far!


It is nice to "meet" you, Stacie!


Each week, we will select a blog from the prior week's link up to highlight as the Featured Blog so we can all get to know them a little better.

Here is how you can have others "meet" your blog:

And now I give you dear, sweet, beautiful, Mandi:



"Hi Everyone!
Thank you Marlie for letting me do a guest post! This is my very first guest post so I’m not too sure where to start, but here goes...

My name is Mandi, and I’m in the middle of starting my own online jewelry business. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and now I’ve finally got up enough courage to go ahead and try to live my dream. I started my blog a few months ago to help me through the business launch process. Needless to say, I did not think that I would become so fond of blogging! It has become a way for me to express myself, my triumphs, my tribulations, and a great way to meet new people.

The last few months have been both amazing and hard work. I knew nothing about
starting up a business. I researched and educated myself on everything I needed to know, from business licensures, to the best place to get your business cards printed. I’ve had ups, and downs, I’ve had times where I wondered what the heck I was doing, and times I though I should just quit. I didn’t give up, and whenever I felt confused, or lost I would say a little prayer, and ask for the guidance to show me the way. Now, in about a week or so I will be officially launching my website!

Anyway, the point I’m trying to get across is that if you have a dream, an idea, a goal, don’t keep putting it off. Life is short, decide what you want and go after it. That’s what I’m trying to do, and whether Designs by Mandi Boutique works or not - I’m not sure… but at least I’m trying. As Greg Anderson says, “When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing -- then we truly live life.” - Thanks Marlie!"

follow Southern Reflections as a courtesy for hosting and create a post about Meet & Greet Monday by adding the MGM button to your blog so bloggers know to link up here and where to comment on your page!! The more you spread the news, the more this blog hop will grow, and the more bloggers you will meet and greet!!

Have fun, enjoy meeting and greeting one another, and please be sure and come back each Sunday at 8:59 PM (EST) for a NEW Meet & Greet Monday where I will post a featured blogger each week!! Thanks so much for participating!!
