It's an honor just to be nominated.

 I love the Q&A stuff so this is fun for me. I have really come to know a few of my lady friends solely from social media (Which seem super crazy right? Considering most of us are from the last generation who grew up spending free time outdoors drinking from a hose and not glued to an electronic devise). Learning more about my cyber social circle is awesome. Expanding that circle is even more awesome.


The scoop: The Liebster Awards are like a chain-letter. Kinda. Someone nominated you.

Questions from Jenn: 

1. Tell me about your best friend. Are you alike, how long have you been friends? Well, You are one of my few best friends, Jenn. We have serious mindlink when it comes to judging the ultra trashtastic. The words "really?" or "seriously?" followed by a look is often all it takes. And the other will reply with either laughter or "I know right". That is a standard conversation. We have been friends for years and years (I will be honest I always forget how long exactly But I feel like I was 25), roommates for a spell, and sisters from other misters for life.

2. What's the one talent you wish you had? Music. I wish I had learned an instrument as a kid. I always have envied those who can play the guitar or piano.

3. Are you a good driver? Yes. I tend to be a granny sometimes but I think it's fine. 

4. What's your worst habit?  Judging the trashtastic.

5. How has your blog changed over the years? It started as a maternity blog and has evolved into a lifestyle blog with some food and diy stuff but always with the same sass as the beginning. 

6. What trait of yours do you hope to pass down to your kid(s)? I hope they have my humor. I know Hal does. It's awesome to watch America's Funniest Home Videos with her. She cannot contain her blush or her Guffaw laugh when someone gets nut kicked or slips and goes ass over tea kettle. Aidan already has a pranky streak that the girl and I both see and encourage. 

7. Which trait would you rather they didn't inherit? I hope Aidan is more organized (Which I think he will be naturally with his autism. Blessing of it all) but I think Hal has to fight the creative scatter brained stuff like I do. Some of that is Nature AND Nurture. Bummer.

8. Fav song that makes you feel great, never fails to put you in a good mood? Natasha Bedingfield - Pocket Full of Sunshine

9. Are you superstitious? Oh yeah. I pretend not to be but yes. I also read my horoscope for the day every night before bed.

10. How did you meet your significant other? We were set up on a blind date. The only one I had ever been set up on because I was completely opposed to them. Only to find out we had been acquainted through friends about ten years before. Small crazy world.

11. If money were no object what's the one thing you would indulge in? A huge farm/vineyard life. Home grown everything forever. And all the wine.
