My Questions & Answers:

1. Why did you start your blog and what motivates you to write regularly?

As a SAHM it’s easy to get lost in the daily routine of being a wife and mother.  I needed something to call my own; I needed something to be proud of besides keeping my son alive; I needed a creative outlet to express myself.  Having a 1-year old makes it hard to write regularly, but I do my best to find the time.

2. What is the most awkward situation in your life?

A recent awkward/embarrassing moment happened while my husband & I were at the local ice cream shop with our son.  I had my son in one arm and the diaper bag in the other, as I tried to get out of the booth I misjudged how long it was and fell flat on my butt!  In that quick moment as I fell to the floor all I could think to do was save my son from getting hurt.  My son was fine, my husband was dying laughing and my butt was sore for days!

3. What is your dream job? Are you going to work hard to get it?

As a young girl my dream job was to be a fashion designer.  I soon realized I had a hard time visualizing my thoughts on paper; I am creative not artistic, there’s definitely a difference.  Rather, I went to school for fashion merchandising and had the opportunity to live and work in both NYC and Los Angeles.  The experiences I had in both cities were life changing and helped me to fulfill my dream of working in the fashion world!

4. When is the last time you lied to someone, and why?

I honestly can’t remember the last time I lied to someone, but I am sure I did it to shield from hurting their feelings.

5. What is your biggest fear?

Even though I’m 30, I’m still terrified of things that go bump in the night!  Don’t get me wrong, I love watching horror movies & am obsessed with The Walking Dead but it keeps me up at night.

6. How do you like to spend your free time?

When I have free time without my boys I love spending it with my girlfriends!  My favorite thing to do is to go out for dinner & drinks.

7. Tell me about me about one of the biggest mistakes you’ve made.

When I was 22 weeks pregnant I made the mistake of driving to my parents in a snow storm.  I lost control while changing lanes and got into a bad car accident.  Thank god my son & I were okay, but my car was in the shop for a month.

8. What do you like to do the most?

I love going on vacation with my husband!  Our favorite spot is Punta Cana – we even got married there!

9. Is there someone you really admire? Who?

The person I admire more than anyone is my mother.  She’s a beautiful woman with a huge heart and I’m proud to say that not only is she my mom but she’s also my best friend!

10. Name three things you could not live without?

My family and friends (there are too many to name and I love them all, especially my husband & son), coffee and shopping!  AND wine, I couldn’t live without wine!!!
