From Paula:
Paula and her husband have been married for 4 years. They have 2 lively and rambunctious kiddos and all live together in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment. Paula's passions include writing, the hot Houston weather, watching her kids giggle, budgeting and encouraging people. You can find more of Paula's writing on her blog www.BeautyThroughImperfection.com where she writes candidly about her life as a young wife and mom.

You can also connect with her on Facebook or Twitter.

From Me:
Beauty Through Imperfection is one of my new favorite blogs! I am so glad that Paula won the giveaway and got this ad spot so that I could get to know her blog. She is so sweet and encouraging and I have loved almost every post of hers that I have read. She is also in the same stage of life as I am and her kids are close in age to mine so her posts are very relevant to me right now :)

Here are some of my favorite recent posts:

5 Ways to Prepare Your Toddler to be an Older Sibling  and 8 Ways to Help a Toddler Adjust to the New Baby - These two posts are absolutely great for me right now. It sounds like her two kids were the same number of months apart that mine will be and these two posts are a minefield of useful tips that I plan to utilize in the next several months. The first one is tips that you can do before the baby comes, the next is tips for after the baby comes. Super great info!

 Top 10 Blogging Tips - Some great tips for bloggers who are looking for some advice!

Top 10 Ideas for Family Time with Toddlers - I don't know about you , but I sometimes have trouble thinking of ideas for family time with toddlers. Toddlers have short attention spans and don't always seem to understand what we are doing. So this list is great to jump start my ideas!

Beyond Movie Night - 10 at Home Date Night Ideas - Sometimes it is hard to get out on a date. And when we are at home we generally just put on a movie and work on our separate projects. I am just starting to realize how important at home dating is and this list is a great resource that I plan on using!

Supporting Unwed Moms - I have not been an unwed mom, and neither has Paula, but this post is a great one! I have never been the type to look judgementally at, or make rude comments to unwed moms, but I have silently judged them. This post confronts my sin of judgement and helped me to realize that the fact that I am very pro-life means that I must be pro-unwed mother (not pro-premarital sex, just pro-mom). If I want ladies who find themselves pregnant to give the child life then I must support them when they do. Thank you Paula for helping me realize this!
