A Fresh Brewed Faith had some fun questions for me...and here are my answers!
What has been your favorite post you've written?
A Season of Busy. I am stressed and impatient when I am in "busy" mode. So sometimes I need to take a step back and re-evaluate and re-prioritize!
What do you love about blogging? I love being able to look back on our memories as a family. Time goes so incredibly fast, and it is so easy to forget those little moments. Whether it's the book your child is obsessed with at the time, a funny story from vacation, or your son singing to his new baby sister on the way home from the hospital, I want to remember them all! I also love that blogging is motivation for me to take more pictures of our life!
Where would you most like to travel to and why?
I've always wanted to stay in one of those huts on the water where you can see the ocean through the floor and jump off your front porch into the ocean. Apparently they are called "over-water bungalows" and they look fabulous!
Coffee or tea? And how do you take it?
Coffee! It is more of a comfort thing for me than anything. (I am only drinking decaf right now, but I still love a cup every morning!) I learned to drink coffee with dessert with my family, and that is when I love it the most. I drink it black most of the time, but I also love a froo-froo drink from the coffee shop. A white chocolate mocha or iced coffee is my favorite!
What was the most beautiful meal you've ever eaten?
I love a good meal, but I'm not one to remember all the details or be overly wow-ed by the presentation. So I'm going a bit in the other direction. The most beautiful meal I've ever eaten was right after we got married. Our wedding was in the afternoon, and our reception had our favorite snack-y food instead of a meal (fruit + chocolate fountain, Carlos O'Kelly's chips and salsa, and wedding cake. It was awesome). When we left Zach and I decided to get something to eat for dinner. So we went to Texas Roadhouse in his tux and my wedding dress. We were just so excited to be married and I have never felt more beautiful or happy.
What is your favorite candy?
Reese's pieces or Peanut Butter M&M's. Or peppermint bark at Christmas time!
What is your favorite book from childhood?
I loved the Amelia Bedelia books when I was younger.
What other creative endeavors do you enjoy?
I like to craft and sew. I have recently learned to quilt and have had so much fun making baby quilts for my nieces, nephews, and my own kids!
If you want to see the quilts visit these past posts: Twins, Kaia, Zoe. Apparently I never posted a final picture of Lyle's quilt, or my nephew Eric's! I guess it's time for a rewind post! Thank you Liebster award for helping me realize this! :)
If you had a free day to browse a bookstore, what genre do you immediately gravitate toward upon entering?
Christian Fiction. I love getting lost in a story, and I love that you don't have to worry about the content in this genre.
What's your favorite way to relax?
I love grabbing something to drink (let's be honest, a snack too!), putting on sweats, and either reading or watching a favorite show.
What is one thing you are super excited for this fall?
If I had to pick one thing, it would probably be busting out some fall candles! There is just something about having fall candles burning in the house that makes everything cozier! It's an instant mood lifter!
