Tell Us Thursday!

hooray for our second tell us thursday!! thanks so much to the fine felines who linked up last week! you ladies are fabulous!

no source... found on pinterst

we need to address one order of business before we get started... make sure to check back later on and visit the other linker-uppers! show some support to the other ladies who take part in this momma-to-momma social/blogger affair! okay, thanks mommas.

okay... tell us...

1. what was the name you chose for the opposite sex? {in lamens terms- if you had a girl, what was the name you chose if she would have been a boy?}

2. where is your favorite dinner spot & dish? {could be a restaurant, home, park- wherever!}

3. when do you typically take shower {or bathe} & favorite product to use while gettin' "silky smooth"{ever see the movie don't mess with the zohan?}


my responses:

1. we had a really hard time trying to come to an agreement with a boys name. we initially both liked cooper but matt soon decided he wasn't as fond of it as he was at first. we decided to quite talking about it until we found out the sex of the baby.

2. i love eating at home because i thoroughly enjoy cooking but i am a MAJOR sucker for the olive garden. i absolutely LOVE their chicken parmigiana, and i never order anything else. add the fact that you get all the divine breadsticks and delicious salad you can stand to eat and you've got yourself one happy camper... me! oooh and i love their raspberry lemonade too!

3. i always shower at night. very rarely do i shower in the morning. it really makes me more sleepy that it anything so i typically save them for right before sleepy time. my husband think i'm foul because i only shower once a day. am i? be honest! i think i'm normal and that he's the minority for showering {at the very minimum} three times a day. perhaps i'm wrong? my favorite shower product is my shampoo. i use paul mitchells tea tree with lavender. i work at an elementary school so the tea tree oil is a must as it staves off lice. enough said? i also like the way it smells and how it makes my hair feel... duh! ;)

ANNND!! if you ever have any tell us question ideas, email me your suggestions, i would love to have you input mommas!

My very first linkup party!!

Hello ladies! I've been dying to do more with my blog and since I'm super busy with like a zillion other things, my blog has been neglected. Fear no more! I am going to make it a point to do at least two posts a week, one of which is going to be a link up party!  So, I hope you will link up and have some fun reading more about the women we adore and follow via blogger and other social media by taking part in TELL US THURSDAY!

What do you need to do? Answer some fun questions, that's all! Each week I will give you 3 questions starting with Who? What? Where? When? Why? In which you will answer in a blog post and then bring your URL over to my linkup and share it with other readers! This is a great way to share funny, sad, raw, strange facts and/or stories with your readers.

Sounds fun right?

I hope over the next few weeks we can get some of you excited to be apart of this weekly menagerie and in the meantime I'll be sharing loads of info about myself with all of of you!

This weeks questions:

1. Who do you most look up to?{why}

2. What is one thing you would NEVER be able to give up? {it can be anything-food, electronics, accessories, sex-anything}

3. When was the last time you went to the movies? {what did you see & with whom}

1. I look up to my husband. He has always been there for me and works harder than any single person I know. He is also one of the least selfish people I have ever met. His number one goal in life is to provide his family with whatever we need and making our house a home along the way. I couldn't imagine a better father for Claire- he's incredibly patient and gentle beyond words. And lastly,  He put up with me ;) What more could I ask for?

2. I would never be able to give up my dishwasher. I despise washing dishes, especially after we have company. Unfortunately, since we live away from our family, we typically get lots of visitors at once. Don't get me wrong, I love hosting parties, I just couldn't imagine doing so without the help of my dishwasher!

3. The last time I went to the movies was on my birthday, last year... like 11 months ago! We went to Erie, PA for my birthday. We went to babies-r-us to register {I was 4 months pregnant}, to Quiznos for lunch {I love me some yummy toasted subs}, and then to the movies. We saw American Reunion.   I was not that impressed but it was fun seeing a movie in reclining chairs, especially for me. This serves as a reminder {rather rude awakening} that we really need to get out more!
