Thoughts for Thursday – Blogger Sisterhood

·
I was nominated by Michelle at Grammie Time to participate in the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award.  Fun!  I always love reading posts like this and learning just a little more about some of my favorite bloggers.  
So here are the rules {because we always must have rules!}: 
Provide a link and thank the blogger who nominated you!  
Answer the questions about yourself
Nominate 10-12 blogs
Provide links to those nominated and let the blogger know {kind of important}
Ask ten questions of your own
Include the award logo within your blog post. 
So Michelle asked me……

How long have you been blogging and why did you begin?

I have been blogging almost a year!  August 1st will be my one year blogiversary,  I started reading blogs about 9 months before I started and was just having so much fun seeing fashion posts and being inspired by so many other women in the blog world. When I was younger I loved to write but over time it fell to the wayside.  I also love to scrapbook but definitely fell quickly behind as my kids became older and more involved in activities. Blogging was the perfect outlet for me to write, share my love of shopping and document family memories.  

List three words that describe you?

Loyal
Forgiving
Able

How long have you been married?

Keith & I are about to celebrate our 14th anniversary on August 3rd.  It’s so hard to believe the years have passed so quickly!  You can read a little about our story here.  

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We actually went to Port Aransas for some time fishing and hanging at the beach and we actually took my Bigs along! It was like our first little opportunity to bond as a family unit with Keith as their stepdad.  

What is one household chore you dislike doing?

Folding and putting away laundry hands down.  I love sorting and actually putting in the washer but I absolutely hate folding and often end up turning the dryer on an average of 3 times to “fluff” before I end up getting it all put away.  

Your best “chick-flick” movie is….?

Too many to choose one!  I am definitely a sucker for a love story and if I had to choose just one it might just be something like The Notebook.  
Or (I knew I couldn’t just choose one) something like Sweet Home Alabama!  

What is one beauty item you can’t live without?

Another hard choice!  I think most of my life I would definitely have chosen mascara as the answer to this question because I always just feel naked until I put it on. This has been my new fave! 
 In my 40’s taking care of my skin has become way more important so I think my Rodan & Fields moisturizer would have to be it.  
Want more info abut this great product just email me! 

Where has your favorite vacation been so far?

Hands down our family vacation to Destin, Florida {see here} has been my favorite! It was the first time we had all 6 been together for a full week of complete relaxation.  With baseball being such a big part of our lives most of the time the spring and summer do not make good times for all 6 of us to be together but we made it work that year and it was the best time!  I hope now that both the Bigs are out of college we will be able to take some trips during Christmas.  

You’re given $100 just for YOU, how would you spend it?

I would definitely spend it totally on me!  Probably a massage or a facial or something I don’t usually splurge on to pamper myself.  

Do you prefer reading books or magazines?

Hmm….I like both but I have really been into reading books the past year.  I have a list a mile long! 
Loving this one right now!
