**The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say "you're doing a great job". It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs and get them more readers and followers!
Answer questions, then nominate 10 more bloggers & have them answer my questions.**
I have been slacking lately, partially because I haven't had anything to report babywise, and partially because I was angry about the first part. BUT, this is a great reason to get back to it!! I am going to answer the questions from Lexi & Sarah first, then I will answer LoveShackBaby's questions. This might be a lengthy post, but hopefully it will be fun to read :)
Questions from L&S:
1. What is your favorite season and why?
I'm gonna have to pick two seasons, I know that's half the year, but its ok :) Fall & Spring- its the colors! I LOVE the colors of both these seasons.
2. What is something you cant live without?
I can't live with out chapstick. OR hand lotion. I hate dry skin/chapped lips.
3. If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I think I would have to say Italy. It is someplace I have always wanted to visit, and I love pizza :)
4. If given the ability to change one thing in this world what would you choose?
I would change people's attitudes about equality. Everyone Everywhere deserves to be treated equally.
5. Do you have any regrets in life?
I wish I spent more time with my grandma.
6. Why did you start blogging?
I started this blog to document our story for our future child(ren). I have always had some interest in blogging, however, my aunt Carol actually printed off this massive binder of my blog from my senior year in high school...oh how things have changed!
7. What is your best trait?
Best trait? I can talk to a wall. Really, I think I can find common ground with anyone, and we can strike up a conversation for hours.
8. What is your worst trait?
Talking for hours ;) No, I think my worst trait is my temper. I am learning patience little by little.
9. What is your best childhood memory?
There are so many, but the one that stands out today is The Talking Tree. All the grandkids have sat in the talking tree. It's this big tree in my grandparents' front yard...that has the perfect branches to climb and hide and play on. When it is filled with leaves you can hardly see who's in it, I guess that's where the name came from, because it seemed like the tree was talking :)
10. Who are 3 people you would love to have dinner with (living or dead)?
Ellen DeGeneres, Courtney's mother Connie and Walt Disney
11. Who is someone you miss?
My grandma.
Now, onto LoveShackBaby's questions:
1. What is your favorite thing to blog about?
My favorite thing to blog about is BABY news :) I love to write about our next steps and exciting news helping us get one step closer to our baby!2. What are your feelings about dogs sleeping in bed with their owners?
Well, I have mixed feeling about this...because Charlie sleeps with us, even though she has a nice comfy bed on the floor (& that is where we'd prefer her sleep).
3. What is your favorite memory ages 13-16?
I would have to say meeting one of my good pals Lee, we met through a children's choir when I was 13. She is like my little sister, we had some of the best times together & to this day she holds a special piece of my heart!
4. Could you see yourself as a life coach?
I do give out some pretty good advice...and I like to think I'm a good listener, so I'd say I could give it a go!
5. Are you looking forward to anything in particular in 2013?
Starting back TTC in January, and the possibility of a 2013 baby :)
6. What is a must-have in your kitchen?
Non-stick EVERYTHING.
7. Favorite mode of transportation?
I love the Subway, I know I know...I live in small(ish) town TN where Public Transit might as well be non-existent, but when I have traveled to major cities I have always enjoyed the underground, the L, the Subway, the Tube...its always great :)
8. Have you ever had a nickname that you really hated?
I really can't think of any name that's bothered me...
