1.)    If you had to describe your style, what would you call it?Bohemian Hippie with a dash of sophistication and edge

2.)    What type of workout do you prefer, cardio or strength training? I enjoy both- right now I do the bazillion butt lift workout (ooohlaha), pilates, and zumba

3.)    What’s your earliest childhood memory?That is a tough one, but one of my most favorite was when I used to fall asleep on my dad’s belly (I called it my pillow) and I would pretend to be asleep so he would carry me to my room so I didn’t have to walkJ

4.)    Why did you begin blogging?I began blogging because writing is my escape, the place to dream, and where sometimes they come true. I also blog for the brokenhearted, lonely, and those in need of redeeming love

5.)    Would you rather watch a movie at the theater or at home on DVD?I love to watch movies by the fire with a glass of red wine or prosecco and a heaping bowl of buttered popcorn….oh don’t forget a comfy pair of sweats

6.)    Which birthday has been the best so far?My best birthday- would probably have to be my 30^th because my family made a homemade video of my journey thus far and some of my most favorite people were with me to celebrate

7.)    What’s my pet peeve?This is a funny one because mine are kinda weird. I can’t stand it when guys don’t cut their fingernails, when someone has food on their face during dinner it grosses me out, and I have a hard time adjusting when plans change last minute- Okay I know more than one weird pet peeve!

8.)    Is there a language you’d like to learn? If so, what language and why?Italian- because I’m half Italian and there is so much I love about our culture from the boisterous talking, amazing food, hand gestures, and because I think Italy is just plain romantic and inspiring.

9.)    What’s your favorite thing to have for dessert?Okay- so I love dessert. I love the strawberry lemon cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Love the chocolate bag from McCormick and Schmidt’s- let me paint the picture shall I- a chocolate bag, filled with rich creamy mouse topped with raspberries, blueberries and strawberries…simply amazing. Oh ya and I LOVE ice cream with a nice cup of hot mocha.

10.)  What’s the last book you read? Or what are you reading right now?Right now I’m reading the Mark of the Lion Trilogy- again! My third time through, I love anything Francine Rivers writes…life changing. I’m also reading on the side- Jewel in his crown, Strong willed child or dreamer?, and the bible ( need to do that more though)

11.) Are you an early bird or a night owl?I’m a night owl for sure! By the time my son goes to bed I am craving some me time and so I live it up at night. That is when I read, write, and soak up any moment where I can be inspired. I try not to watch TV and get done the things I love to do for myself- but I pay for it in the morning usually. One of my goals is to get to bed earlier so I am a morning person especially on the weekend. Nothing like fresh crisp air, the morning colors painting the sky, and a nice cup of coffee and a fresh day. So I’m working on becoming a morning girl.
