Welcome to Life Out Loud: be yourself…everyone else is taken.
A blog by me; Natalie Hartford.
I hope you have a blast while visiting. My intent is to entertain, encourage, inspire, inform, and empower.
I post here three days a week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
My line-up for each week:
- Monday – Life Streaming: a mix of personal stories (including some of my most embarrassing moments) and hilarious urban redneck stuff that I discover (like the 6-pack pink beer belt and the trailer hitch pole dancing unit) and dare to own someday (no joke). All around fun posts to give you the perfect Monday boost.
- Wednesday – Urban Word Wednesday: brought to you by me, hubby and the Urban Dictionary. These are new uberlicious words, phrases and sayings that I am learning (and using in my day-to-day life). I mean…vajazzle…need I say more? You are gonna love these!
- Friday – Impaired Driving: in 2009, my beautiful 60-year-old mother-in-law (known to y’all as Mamma K) was killed by an impaired driver. It’s become a life passion of mine to advocate against impaired driving. My hope is that Friday’s posts will also get YOU fired up to advocate against this 100% preventable crime. See our story under my impaired driving page.
- Hubby’s Corner: as a special treat, once a month (the first Monday of each month) hubby swings by to amp up the hilarity by taking over my blog with a Hubby’s Corner post.
- Every Post: I will highlight other blogs and posts you might enjoy.

- Urban Word Wednesday: Masturcising
- Dear Santa…I’d like the NEW hitch stripper pole
- Assertiveness – it ain’t always easy… (a hot one from 2010)

Here’s to our blogging adventure…let the fun (and stories) unfold.


Thanks for the link backs. This is the first time I have read the About page here…my husband posted a virgin word @ urban dictionary – ventrilogasm.- pretty sure there is something wrong with him, but he’s funny so I’m keeping him.
You are most welcome for the linky love. The post on the goat had me in a fit of giggles. I read them to hubby and I though he’d died laughing. Seriously priceless.
Ventrilogasm – fahhhbulous!! I am going to look it up and I’ll have to use it in an upcoming post to give your hubby some fame.
Gotta luv funny men….they keep things happy.
