The lovely Valerie, from the super awesome blog Motherhood in Progress, has nominated me for a Liebster Award!
It's a social media award to get people to check out lots of great newer blogs. And as a "newer" blogger, I am so excited! Thanks again, Valerie!
As part of the nomination, I had to answer some questions and give 11 random facts. So here we go!
(Click the "Read More" button to the lower right )
1. What else do you do besides write?
- I really love to cook. One of my favorite things to do is to experiment with different foods and create new (hopefully, delicious!) recipes. I also love practicing yoga and reading ridiculously cheesy novels.
2. Who is your favorite person and why?
- I have three: my husband Adam and my two daughters Maddie and Ella. They are the most wonderful family I could have ever asked for.
3. If you could live anywhere, where would that be and why?
- Dubrovnik, Croatia. I know, sort of obscure, but it was probably the most beautiful place I've ever visited. And everyone was so nice!
4. Do you prefer high fashion or down home country?
- I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm high fashion, but I do try to look presentable

5. What are the top three items on your shopping list right now?
- A new pair of black heels, more yoga pants, and a new bike for Ella.
6. What is your favorite place to do online shopping?
- Etsy. I love unique, crafty items; it's where I bought my new phone case!
7. What do you have more of? Shoes or cosmetics?
- Shoes. Definitely shoes. (I promise I don't have a problem...)
8. Name your top three favorite blogs to read.
- Only three?? Well, I like "Oh No They Didn't," "KevinMD," and "Buzzfeed." Okay, I admit that I am a pop culture junkie.
9. What is your favorite blog post you have written?
- It's a tie between "All Hail Kale" and "Gain without the Pain."
10. What is your best blog writing tip?
- Be yourself. When I think to much or try too hard, I have major writer's block. But when I relax, the words come a lot easier!
11. What is your #1 goal?
11 Random Facts:
