Old School Blogging!

Before we get too far into this, don't forget to enter my NuNaturals give away. You don't want to miss out on the sweet treats!

It's Friday people! Woohooo! We have no real plans this weekend and I'm so looking forward to that. Tony will have to work some, but mostly we will be hanging out as a family, doing some yard work (I HAVE to get some stuff planted in my garden bed) and some movie watching. I have a little recipe experimenting to do too for an article I'm writing, but that's all fun stuff for me!

So, my good friend Heather from Where's The Beach tagged me in an old school blogging post. I LOVE these types of posts. They're so much fun to read since they make you step outside of your regular blogging format and give you a closer look inside of people.

Here we go...

A. Attached or Single? Attached! I've been married for 18 amazing years! I thought I was so grown up when Tony and I got married, but now I realize I was so young. I don't regret one minute of it though. He is my best friend and partner in crime until the end!

B. Best Friend? I think you know by now that is Tony.

This was taken in the fall. I can't believe how much we've both changed since then!

C. Cake or pie? Cake, definitely cake. Angel food cake to be specific topped with 7 minute icing please! I love that stuff!

D. Day of choice? Saturday is the big winner here. I get to spend most days with Tony which is so nice, but Saturday I get to spend with Jay and Max too! I always look forward to our family time!

E. Essential item? I'm gonna go with what Heather said on this one and say food! Do NOT let me get hungry. It's not pretty at all. Tony used to make fun of my "hobo snacks", but now he fully appreciates my fuel on the go since he's now eating like I am. The two of us together when hungry is just a complete mess!

F. Favorite color? Green always and forever. The walls in our house are even different shades of green. I've always loved it!

G. Gummy bears or worms? If I have to choose, then bears, but I'm not a fan of either. Now, sour patch kids…those I love.

H. Home town? Roswell, GA

I. Favorite indulgence? Angel food cake with 7 minute icing and fresh strawberries! YUM!

J. January or July? July even though my birthday is in January. I dread it now since life seems so stressful around the holidays and then right after with car taxes (on my birthday) and other adult crap. Definitely July!

K. Kids? 2 amazing boys! Love every minute of life with them!

L. Life isn't complete without? Life isn't complete without Tony and the boys of course.

Another old picture, I can't believe how big the boys have gotten!

M. Marriage date? June 10, 1995. I'm getting that tattooed on my wrist soon too!

N. Number of brothers/sisters? 3 sisters. I'm the oldest.

O. Orange or apples? Apples everyday! Always apples! Love them and need to have one everyday!

P. Phobias? Claustrophobia after having an MRI. Never experienced that feeling before until that darn MRI. Also Ophidiophobia. Apparently that is the fear of snakes. Seriously, I am deathly afraid of snakes!

Q. Quotes? Words to live by my friends...

R. Reasons to smile? My 3 guys, my cats, my friends, sunshine on my face and kabocha!

S. Season of choice? Fall, I love the fall. The cool breeze, the smell of the air with a slight chill. I love wearing jeans and a sweater…love it!

T. Tag 5 people (I will tag people, but I wish everyone would do it!)

1. Heather at Kiss My Broccoli
2. Heather at Better With Veggies
3. Kristina at Spabettie
4. Gina at Health Love and Chocolate
5. Anna at On Anna's Plate


U. Unknown fact about me? I have a culinary degree. I loved culinary school (not just because I met Tony there - he was in the art school). I'm so glad I had that experience so I can put that knowledge towards my true love of healthy cooking (with food restrictions) and fitness. It's been a long road, but I'm finally in a career that I love!

V. Vegetable? Love them! Except okra and avocado (which I think is technically a fruit, but whatever I don't like it).

W. Worst habit? Stacks. I make stacks instead of dealing with paperwork. I'm the worst. The sad part is that most of it's trash, but I always think I may want to read through it. I never learn.

X. Xray or ultrasound? X-rays are never good, but I guess if I had to say one or the other, ultrasound would win out since those mostly happened for good reasons when I was pregnant. No thanks to either now though.

Y. Your favorite food? It's a tie between oatmeal and apples. I could live off of those two foods.

Z. Zodiac sign? Capricorn. I'm definitely ambitious, but responsible and fair. I call myself a realist/dreamer.
