It's A Sisterhood

My girl Whitney all the way over on the west coast nominated me for the

#sisterhood

Whitney gave me 10 questions to answer and then nominate some of my fellow sistas from other mistas to do the same :)

So here we go!

1. Why did you start blogging?

Honestly, I was in a odd place in my life where I felt like I lost sight of who I was.

I started this as an outlet to rediscover me.

That was almost 2 1/2 years ago, and I am so happy I did!

I have found out more about myself through this blog than I ever imagined.

And I have become friends with some amazing ladies as well :)

2. What is your favorite social media outlet?

Instagram by far!

I much rather look at pictures all day than read status updates or tweets.

3. What is something you wish you were better at?

Being a mom!

Seriously!

It is no easy task for me,  but I have friends that it is so easy and natural for.

I have 0 patience, so I am guessing that plays a big part in it for me :/

I just can't seem to figure out how to balance working full-time, doing laundry, cleaning the house, making dinner, and handling X.

Any tips?

4. Share the link to your favorite blog post.

This one is tough!

Since this is a Lifestyle Blog I like a lot of what I post because it usually involves my family :)

So I narrowed it down to a few posts that always make me smile.

My Blueberry Croissant Puff - I am adding this to next week's menu!

5. What is your #1 piece of Mommy Advice?

After reading my answer to #3, what advice could I possibly give?

I would have to say, make sure you take time for yourself once in awhile.

You, and your kids will be better off!

I know when I actually get a chance to workout I am a whole new me and the little things don't get to me as much.

Meaning I can focus a lot better on enjoying my time with X :)

6. Favorite author or book?

I am not a big book person, but I have read all of the Tori Spelling books.

I loved her on 90210 and I love her books!

I enjoy the Duck Dynasty books too when I have a chance to read them.

7. What is your most used phrase or word?

Hmm...when typing I use "lol" a lot!

Otherwise, it is usually..."mommy said stop" or mommy said no" or "go to sleep".

8. Do you view blogging as a hobby or a job? Why?

Some days I wish it were a job, but it is definitely a hobby.

I work a full time job at our financial practice, so that is all this can be.

Unless, of course some one wants to pay me :)

9. Favorite Summer activity?

Grilling!

If it wasn't for all the rain we have had this summer, I would be making all of our dinners on the grill!

Steaks, burgers, hot dogs, ribs, corn, pizza, etc.

10. Where do you see yourself in  10 years?

Just realized I will have an actual teenager in 10 years! AHHH!

I would love to say I will be an older, but healthier and happier version of the same me I am today :)

Other than that, who knows!

Nominations - Simple, I nominate you all to comment below with your answers to #4, #7, and #10 :)

And you know what today is!
