Inspire Me Favorites

I cannot believe it's already the middle of July, where has the month gone?!

Last week's inspiration board link-up was based on the prompt "take me away." We had a really tough time picking a favorite board to feature this week they were all really amazing and made us wish we were lying on a tropical beach somewhere. 

If I had to pick a destination, I would personally choose Hawaii. It's definitely
 on my bucket list to visit one day!

Okay, now as promised, our favorite inspiration boards from last week:

Created by Stephany from Lemonade Mouth.

Created by Sabra from College. Crazy. Life.

Created by Tessa from Many Precious Moments.

Normally we would announce the prompt for next week's link-up, but we have decided to take a mini summer break. During this time, we want to hear what inspiration board prompts you would love us to feature! Simply leave a comment or email Chelsea or myself! There are so many possibilities, and we would really love to involve all of you in this link-up ... so be creative, and don't be shy! We will announce our next prompt and give a special shout-out to the lovely lady who picked it on July 30th!

P.S. I had a serious case of mommy brain! Please accept my most sincere apology! I have no idea but I thought it was Tuesday for some strange reason! I hope you all can forgive me! I think my pounding migraine could have had something to do with it though!

xoxo my loves,

Inspire Me: Take Me Away

The prompt for this week's inspiration board link-up is:

"Take Me Away"

I went on a cruise for my honeymoon and I've been dying to go on one again, but I'd also really love to go to Hawaii! I've never been and the pictures always make it look absolutely stunning! Maybe after I'm done having kids I can convince my husband to take me away to this beautiful place! (p.s. I have no idea why my hula girls picture turned out fuzzy, but I'm rolling with it!)

Inspire Me Favorite(s): Stephany & Sarah

First of all, thank you to everyone who linked up with Chelsea and I last week! 

We are quite inspired by all of the inspiration boards that were created, and cannot wait to showcase our favorite two! Yep, instead of picking just one favorite, we thought it would be fun to break the rules and feature two of our favorite inspiration boards that you lovely ladies created.

The first inspiration board that we absolutely loved was created by Stephany from Lemonade Mouth.

Last, but not least, the second inspiration board that we loved was created by Sarah from Random Thoughts & Feelings. 

The prompt "summer love" was also chosen by Sarah!!!

To keep with our summer theme, the prompt for next week's Link-Up is: "Take Me Away!"

If you have a particular prompt that you would like us to use for our next link-up, please email Chelsea at chelsea@lifeunpublished.com. Look forward to hearing your ideas and can't wait to see everyone's boards next week.

Hope everyone is having a great week!
