Kristi’s Questions for Me:
1. What got you interested in blogging? One of my friends got me interested in it. We were both poor student’s wives and trying to make it. Of course in the beginning I thought I would make lots of money from blogging, but I have grown to really love it money or not. I love sharing my thoughts, diy’s project, mommy moments and recipes with the world.
2. What celebrity would you love to have over for dinner? Why? I would totally have Taylor Swift. I really want to go to one of her concerts. I think she is such a kind and loving person. She doesn’t try to fake it ever. I just think my kids would love her as well.
3. What is your biggest accomplishment in life up to this point? My biggest accomplishment in life is being a mother. This is my very first priority in life. My oldest son was diagnosed with Autism just about 2 years ago, so really our accomplishment each day for him and I is that we made it through another day. It’s not always easy being a special needs mom and I feel like if you just take it one day at a time it may not seem like to others that you have accomplished much but really you we have.
4. What is your favorite travel destination? Why? Oh, man I have not traveled to very many places. The last big trip my husband and I took was our honeymoon almost 7 years ago. We went to Jamaica and I loved it there. It was just so relaxing to sit on the beach and get a tan. I could do that all day every day.
5. What blog post are you the most proud of so far? I am most proud of the DIY: Cheap & Easy Easter Decoration post so far. I have had it featured on a few other sites. It has been fun to have my work featured.
6. Where do you get your blog inspiration? I am a mom so a lot of things that I post are things I am doing already with my kids, as hobbies or what I cooked for dinner.
7. What is your favorite childhood past time? I have so many favorite childhood memories. I grew up on a farm in Northern Wyoming and so every day was a great memory.
8. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? I have always wished that I was at least two more inches taller. I am only 5ft 2. That is just so short..
9. Best song on the radio right now? I really like Bruno Mars Uptown song. My husband and kids and I totally rock out to this song when it comes on.
