I wanted to share these cute and funny Instagram story templates for highlights on my blog because I have had SO much fun making them. Seriously, my husband has to physically take my laptop away from me because I can’t stop designing and creating these templates. I have quite a few more ideas, so I’ll be updating this post with more templates as I make them. You can always grab the latest Instagram story templates off of my Instagram account, @tayloraube.

How do you use them exactly? Well you just save the image to your phone, fill out your answers and post to your story! Instagram story templates are just a fun way to let your followers learn more about you! You fill in your answers with text or by using the pen tool to circle the answers. After sharing with your followers see how many direct messages you get. Theses really spark a conversation!

It is crazy to think that 9 months of this year was spent during a deployment. Ever since Scott got back from Iraq, we have been attached at the hip! While he was gone we missed many holidays, birthdays, and weddings. That’s the nature of the military – your spouse being away during quality family time. There are thousands of soldiers who are currently deployed and will not be able to be home during this holiday season. Since I know what it’s like having a deployed soldier, I also have an idea of what goodies to send during a deployment. I’m sure any deployed soldier would agree with me; pretty much anything beats the same old food they serve up at the dining hall.

I am so excited to announce the launch of the Bridging the Gap campaign! Taking part in social change, 200 Influencers have stepped up to challenge the social media and fashion industry as we know today. Men and women from multiple ages, backgrounds and disciplines have so much to offer one another. After all, we are stronger together! This fall’s campaign unites the Millennial and Midlife Demographics to blur artificial boundaries while encouraging the concept of reciprocal mentorship – a new and empowered way of bringing the generations together by each sharing their unique gifts with the other.

For this campaign, I am partnered with the fabulous Suzanne Bell of AskSuzanneBell.com. I had such an amazing time getting to know Suzanne and truly bridging the gap of our ages. Below you can read her biography, and get to know more about this woman who has lived around the world, worked as a fashion buyer for Nordstrom, and has lived a very exciting and chic life thus far!
