11 Facts About Me  

• I love animals, but I’m NOT a cat fan.

• Target is my kryptonite and Starbucks… pretty much I just admitted: I am suburban mommy. 😀

• I love TEDTalks 

• I do not like how TEDTalks can lead me down the rabbit hole of hours being lost online, but hey… brain wrinkles.

• A fact you should all know by now if you’re a regular: I’m insanely in love with my family!

• I have hazel eyes and freckles

• I have crazy curly hair

• My friends called my first car the “Barbie car” because it looked pink from baked on wax. (previous owners, not me)

• It was an ’85 Ford Mustang

• I still drive a Ford

• My second car was a Toyota Celica, which was crap, but cute. I traded it in for a brand spanking new ’99 Cougar.

 

          *I actually didn’t trade in the Celica, I gave it to my little brother to trade in for his car. 🙂 (see I’ve always been a giver.)

My 11 Questions and Answers 

1) Who is your favorite singer or band and why? Umm… this question is too hard to answer! I don’t know, I have so many, if you search through my blog you’ll find plenty of music.

2) If you were a cup of coffee, what would your name be? Brown Sugar Caramel Latte!  😉

3) What is you favorite make-up item? Mascara and eyelash curler.

4) What does your ‘go to’ outfit consist of? Levi’s  

5) What advice would you give your younger self? Keep writing. Read! You love reading, you love writing, and drawing… those things are COOL. Protect your heart, don’t give the jerk a second chance… or third. Smile. Don’t be so mad. If someone “mean mugs” you that’s not the end of the world, that’s them saying: “Hey, I notice you, and this is the face I’m making because I do.” No blowup needed. Keep being sweet, people remember that. (I think someone will write that in your yearbook.)

#ThowbackThursday what you don’t see is my pager 😆 What you do see is my curly blonde hair… natural of course 😊#BackInTheDay

  6) Where is your favorite place to be? Anywhere with my family! 7) What is your favorite dessert? Cookies!! 8) What is your favorite thing to blog about? Well… my Thank You Notes (my life in notes) & quotes (TWSS).

9) If you were on a deserted island, what 3 items would you want with you? I like Ashley’s answer. I would use the solar powered phone Ashley mentioned to hopefully gain a signal and phone home. Or vodka… to put a message in the bottle to send for help. 😀  I would want my family.

10) What is the best gift you have ever given? Ummm.. LIFE! x3

11) What advice would you give to fellow new bloggers? Be you! Also, be a friend; blogging is give and take.

If you haven’t visited Ashley’s blog, please make sure you do! Ashley is such a sweetheart with great style!

 

Thank you, Friday!!
