I had the chance to talk with Kat during a recent edition of “What’s Going On, Fayetteville?” on WIDU1600AM. Her humor, relatability and passion for her community are contagious! Check out this clip from our interview . . .
Kat’s love for life is evident in the content she produces. From self-care to small business support at brings a unique viewpoint through imagery, writing and creativity.

Kelly of Kelly Seeks | Fayetteville, NC
Kelly is no stranger to the world of Blogging but she has found a way to reinvent herself through KellySeeks. This new platform has become a way for her to combine who she is as a mother to children with special needs as well as who she is becoming as a woman seeking new paths for herself along the way.
View this post on InstagramI’m so glad these are my kids. They are awesome road trip warriors. 5 vacations down this summer alone. From 3 to 14 hour drives. ………….………………………… #adventure #travel #summer #vacation #familyfun #family #familyvacation #familytime #wanderlust #traveler #travelling #travelblogger #blogger #momblogger #letshavefun #roadtrip #proudmom #kids
A post shared by Kelly (@kellyseeks) on
This summer Kelly took several road trips that were just her and her Kiddies. She will tell you if it weren’t for these road trips they would never have survived the summer since her Hubby is currently away on duty for the Army. Any one of her Summer of Sanity posts will have you laughing and relating to the struggles of keeping your sanity as a parent during the summer.
I think the thing I love most about Kelly’s style of writing is that what you read is who she is. Kelly has this gift for telling a story that brings you into her reality. You feel as if you were there experiencing everything just as she was. Kelly shares her life as it is: the good, the bad and the hilarious!

Anna of The Coffee Table Blog | Raleigh, NC
I came across Anna’s blog through one of the many North Carolina Blogger Facebook Groups. I will admit just about anything that includes the word coffee will get my attention. The difference is Anna’s blog is written in such a creative way that she kept my attention far beyond her blog’s name.
View this post on InstagramTBH I had a much better day the morning this photo was taken compared to today. It’s not always rainbows & butterflies. Not everyday is what we hope. ? BUT ? God’s hand is NEVER limited by what we have in ours. God’s plan is fiyahhhh ?
A 20-something college student who loves God and sharing the things that bring her happiness in life, Anna is definitely a Blogger on the move. I always believe age is no more than a number. Despite being far removed from Anna’s generation I always find a stop at her place here in the world of blogging leaves me feeling refreshed and uplifted by her positive outlook and experiences. I even had a bit of a chuckle when she shared that she just learned how to ride a bike at 21 – she’s still ahead of me since I have yet to master the two wheeled contraption!

Melissa of Adventures of A Frugal Mom | Durham, NC
I met Melissa about 3 years ago at a Blogger MeetUp I hosted here in Fayetteville. I think the first thing I noticed was how supportive she was. Once I started to follow and explore Melissa’s Blog I realized that support and encouragement ring true throughout her posts.
View this post on InstagramI used to envy people that had a home office but not any more because of my blog cabin!! This workspace is all mine and I am loving it! #blogcabin #adventuresfrugalmom #blogoffice #bloggerlife
A post shared by Melissa Vera NC (@frugalmom) on
Most recently Melissa has made nearly every Bloggers’ dream come true by creating her own Blogger Oasis in the form of a Blog Cabin! Yep, BLOG Cabin! Melissa has built the perfect Blogger space in a mini cabin located right at the back of her home. She’s even reached out to her fellow Bloggers to have them be a part of this project by sending her notes and cards to be built into the walls of the cabin. I am anxiously following along with her progress and the updates and she makes this space truly her own.
One of the things I enjoy most about Melissa and how she shares her life is that she shares both the good and the bad. When she ran into delays getting the electricity in her cabin she didn’t skip over it – she shared it. Sharing the good in life is great but sharing the bad is reality.
If you’re looking for a realistic look at life as a Wife, Mom and Frugal Entrepreneur then you stop by and tell Melissa I say Hi.

Theresa of The Importance of Being Reese | Charlotte, NC
I remember the moment I realized that I was more than just a wife and mom. More than someone’s friend or support. I was me and that was important. Theresa shares the things that help remind us all about the importance of being who we are not only to others but to ourselves.
Reese is very clear on what you will find when you visit her blog:
My dot com covers a range of topics, including, but not limited to: parenting, food, travel, and local happenings. From time to time, I’ll discuss whatever strikes my fancy, just because I can.
View this post on InstagramTo my kids, thank you for the late nights, early mornings, countless messes and meltdowns ? Thank you for the last minute projects, sticky floors, piles of dishes, and never ending laundry ? Thank you for all the silly faces, snugglefests, sweet giggles and kisses and bottomless “I Love You’s…” ? Thank you for filling my life with so much meaning and purpose. Most of all, thank you for molding me. ? Love Mom
A post shared by Reese (@beingreese) on
I think this honesty and ability to say things as she sees them is what draws me to both her blog and Reese as a person. On top of being an amazing creator Reese is a Digital Marketing Mastermind which she proves in her book Utilizing Social Media For Blogging. We all know how important social media is to our success as Bloggers but the how of getting there isn’t always as clear. Reese shares her tips to use social media effectively and with tangible results.
I can always count on Reese for creative ways to spark creativity, motherhood tips, family fun and a real look at her life and how she lives it!

Molly of Still Being Molly | Durham, NC
Molly is that person who’s smile and joy is contagious. Whether you meet her in person or through her words at Still Being Molly you will feel the impact of knowing who she is in this world.
View this post on Instagram??MEET ME MONDAY _ We’ve got some new friends around here and I haven’t formally introduced myself and shared a few facts about me in awhile! _ I’m Molly! I’m a wife to John, a mama to Lilly and Amos here on earth, and Elijah Timothy and Malachi Jude in heaven. We lost two babies in the second trimester of pregnancy this year and so, to be honest, I’m navigating a really weird space right now. One that I don’t even fully understand, but I’m learning every day to trust and to lean in to God’s truth. _ Chips, salsa and guacamole ???are my love language. _ I workout 5-6 days a week at @burnbootcampsouthdurham ?? and it’s the best community in the whole wide world. It’s so much more than just a gym. Fitness has never come easy for me, but I’m learning to embrace strength and be the healthiest version of myself. _ Now, don’t get me wrong, I try to eat organic and as clean as possible and drink cold pressed juice and workout regularly… but you will never take away my love for a fountain Diet Coke. ? NEVER. It’s called balance, mmkay? _ My guilty pleasure is watching the entire Bachelor / Bachelorette / Bachelor in Paradise ?franchise. _ I love almost every type of genre of music (rap, rock, worship, r&b, pop)… everything except heavy metal. But I will admit I went through a brief scream-o phase in high school and early college and loved the band Underoath. Anyone remember them? _ I am passionate about purchasing with purpose and ethical fashion and buying from brands that are changing the world. I also shop at Target ?and I’m cool with it. #balancemmkay? _ In other news, this outfit is on the blog today because a lot of you have asked for tips for styling denim on denim without looking like Justin and Britney circa 2001. So check that out at the link in my profile. _ Now, tell me something about you! #meetmemonday
Molly is a person who believes in standing firm on her beliefs, sharing her passions and encouraging growth in others. Molly shares her support of purpose driven products, blog education and her faith in the good through her posts, podcasts and workshops throughout North Carolina.
