Sponsor Spotlight + Giveaway: Lil Noodle Bug

Get to know Courtney from Lil Noodle Bug!

1. When did you start your blog?

I first started blogging in 2007 when we found out I was prego with the lil lady to have a place for family and friends to follow our journey J Back then it was strictly a family blog and under DaveandCourtsCorner. I decided to launch LilNoodleBug Fall of 2011 when I went full force with my business!

 

2. What are two websites do you visit when you hop online? (Excluding social media.)

The top 2 most visited sites (excluding Twitter and Facebook) on my browser are Pinterest and Etsy!

 

3. Name your top three blog mentors. Why do they inspire you?

Dana – Dana Made It was the first blog I followed...years ago. I love her heart, her creative abilities, her love for what she does and the way she speaks so highly of her hubs and kids. Her blog was the reason I created Lil Noodle Bug. I was so inspired by her talent, I continue to be awe struck!

Casey Wiegand – her honesty, vulnerability and genuine personality is addictive. I can’t help but feel good after reading every post of hers.

You, Kimmie – I am so grateful to know you. You have inspired me to move forward, you have given me the push that I needed to pursue my dream and you have helped and guided me through it all. I honestly wouldn’t be here answering these questions if it weren’t for you....Thank you!

 

4. Where do you see your blog in five years?

Oh goodness – I will be almost 35 in 5 years and both my kiddos will be in school. In all honesty I just hope it brings me the same joy and happiness it provides me with now. It is my place where I write, where I vent, and where I share my joys.

5. If you could only have five items in your purse for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Oh my goodness, this is a good question!!!! Burts Bees Chapstick, My Erin Condren Life Planner (which contains pics of my hubs and kids), My license, My debit card and feminine products J

 

6. What does your blog name mean? How did you come up with it?

Lil Noodle Bug is actually my daughters nickname. I wanted something meaningful and since my kids inspire me the most I thought it was fitting to name my business after my leading lady.

 

7. What is your day-to-day life like?

Pure Craziness. I have actually written a post about it (BLOG POST HERE). I am a wife and a mother of 2 young kiddos that works full time and is pursuing my craft business. There is not enough time in the day!

8. Do you have a favorite post that you have written? What's the link? Why is it your favorite?

My favorite post is one I just posted. I was honest with myself in dealing with weight issues and I am actually doing something about it!!!! (BLOG POST HERE)

 

9. Where is your favorite place to shop for clothing?

This is a hard one for me – I love H&M, Kohl’s, Modcloth and Target...but if I had TONS of money to spend I would shop at Anthropologie and Nordstroms.

10. Do you know of an online shop that you would recommend to everyone?

I LOVE Splendor. (SHOP HERE) I have the HOPE bracelet and wear it almost everyday. I was able to get a couple of my close friends/co-workers a Christmas present and I bought everything from Splendor and they were all smitten!!! And to top it off, Laura is so Amazing and inspirational!
