Questions from Stephanie

1. How many times a week do you try to post on your blog and why?

I try to have a new post go live twice a week, however it has been more like once a week lately with life being as chaotic and hectic as it is. I have a 4 month old baby, along with a 4 year old and an 11 year old.. so my days are short.. and I don’t get much sleep. But I try to schedule out posts so that I reach my goal of two a week. I do this so that I can continue to reach out to my readers, maintain consistency, and continue helping my blog grow by having new content frequently.

2. What is your dream job?

If you had asked me this five years ago I would have said a career working with children, specifically victims of domestic violence and abuse. During my internship to complete my associates degree I worked with an amazing agency in a field I never would have thought I would have such a passion to work in. I went from wanting to work with children to wanting to work with people in need of hospice. Working for the hospice agency was both an amazing experience and a huge eye opener.

3. Do you have any pets?

No, we do not.

4. Which month of the year is your favorite and why?

Normally I would probably pick August because it’s my birthday month but honestly I don’t even know anymore. I feel like every month has it’s good and bad and I look forward to the whole year.

5. As a blogger, how do you manage to keep everything organized?

Planner, definitely. If it wasn’t for my planner and being able to schedule posts I would be in trouble.

6. What is the most frustrating thing that you’ve discovered about being a blogger?

Not really frustrating but the amount of time it takes. When I first started I thought it would be as easy as having a diary… WRONG. LOL. It takes a lot of work and planning but it is so worth it.

7. How do you unwind at the end of a long day?

Hot bath, reading, catching up on my favorite/subscribed YouTube families.

8. If you watch TV, what is your favorite show? Or genre of show?

This Is Us, definitely. I also watch Jane the Virgin, Hallmark movies, Teen Mom (guilty pleasure), and The Fosters and I can’t wait for the spin off to begin next month!

9. What is your favorite season and why?

Summer and fall. Summer because of beach/pool days. Fall because leggings and oversized sweaters.

10. What is your biggest weakness and how do you overcome it?

I’d say my biggest weakness is that I’m overly sensitive. I cry about everything. I hate confrontation. I don’t handle arguments or yelling very well. I haven’t overcome this and I don’t think I ever will. I think having kids and becoming a mom has made me even more sensitive and emotional. Lol.

11. If money were not a problem, where in the world would you live and why?

Honestly, I think I would stay exactly where I am.. Maybe buy a bigger house.. but I am content with where we live now. I love living in the country, the kids’ grandparents and immediate family (besides one uncle) is here. It just makes sense.
