Answers to the questions from my Nominator:

1.) Why did you start blogging?

      -I originally began blogging as a safe place to keep letters to my son throughout my pregnancy. I started doing it more because I love looking back at old journals, but I tend to misplace them. You can't lose the internet!

2.) If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

      -Teleportation! I could see/do so much!

3.) If you could cast a movie star to play you, who would you select?

      -Rachel McAdams. I would very much enjoy for people to picture her face when they hear my name.

4.) What is your favorite movie?

      -This is a hard one. I have SO many favorites. I'm going to play it safe and say Little Mermaid. ;)

5.) What is your favorite book?

      -Another toughie. Probably anything by Ellen Hopkins.

6.) What is your proudest moment?

      -Giving birth my 11 lb 2 oz boy naturally, with no working drugs.(failed epidural)

7.) What is your dream vacation destination?

      -The Maldives. Gorgeous.

8.) Who is your role model?

      -I have never really had a role model to look up to in my life. So, Sandy Cohen. &His eyebrows.

9.) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

      -The fact that I always lose everything.

10.) How many different cities have you lived in?

      -10. All in the same state & general area.

11.) What makes a great mother?

      -Aside from unconditional love, I think the complete understanding and application of the fact that your children come first no matter what. Everyone talks about this, but it takes a real mother to actually do it.

Random Facts About Me:

4.) I lose EVERYTHING all the time.

5.) I have a secret tattoo.

8.) I’m a photo hoarder.

9.) I am terminally unhip, and constantly have to use urbandictionary.com to understand what people are talking about.

10.) Although I really stress out about finding the “perfect one”, I love giving gifts.
