It's a Major Award

Not really.  But if you've seen A Christmas Story half as many times as I have - you should understand the reference.

My best friend, Tiff just nominated me for a Liebster Award.  How fancy.  Because she nominated me, I get to answer 11 questions.  I much prefer to answer questions than try and think up random and interesting facts about myself, so thanks, Tiff!

[1] You have $200 to spend, but only in one store.  Which one would it be, and why?

Target.  Because, well, Target is like my Graceland.

[2] How did you choose your babe's name?

Ryan and I were tossing around a lot of names.  At some point, soon after finding out we were expecting a boy, I suggested "Camden."  Ryan didn't seem to think much of it.  When we were on vacation in Destin, we saw on E! that a celebrity couple (I can't remember if it was Nick & Vanessa Lachey or Kristen Cavalliri & Jay Cutler) named their new baby boy Camden.  Ryan immediately was like, "Camden.  That's a really cool name!"  Figures.  We added Camden to our list and when he was born - we just knew that was the winner.

[3] You're at Starbucks (or any other coffee shop of choice).  What do you order?

A soy vanilla latte.  And if I'm at Starbucks, a butter croissant.

[4] Share with us the three blogs you truly look forward to/enjoy reading.  Why those?

Camp Patton [there isn't a post I read that doesn't leave me laughing out loud or close to tears]

Harpers Happenings [again with the laughter, the author is funny and real]

The Larson Lingo [the author seems super down to earth, and throws some amaze balls parties]

[5] What children's move do you enjoy watching the most?

This is hard.  I love children's movies.  But, I would probably have to say Tangled.  Even Ryan can't deny that it is awesome.

[6] Where do you see yourself in 2022?

Nine years from now.  Ryan and I will be in our mid-30's (gasp).  I see us with one and possibly (heavy emphasis on the possibly) two more kiddos.  Camden will be approaching 10.  I see us in a bigger home (preferably on the water) and shuttling kiddos around to activities like it's our second job.  Which it will be.

[7] What's your favorite blog post you've written?  Link to it.

It's a tie for Talking about Liam, Sharing the News, and Camden's Birth Story.

[8] What's your favorite food or drink to make?  Share the recipe.

My favorite thing to make and eat is Plum Crisp.

[9] What's one of the most important lessons you've learned?

 Be true to yourself and who you are.

[10] Apple or PC person?

Funny you should ask.  I've always had a PC and been very intimidated by Apple/Mac.  However, my three-year old Dell is crapping out on me at the speed of light.  Ryan "surprised" me and told me he wanted to buy me a Mac for my upcoming birthday.  So, you never know.  I may just be a Mac person in the near future.

[11] What's a good book you've read recently?

I'm currently re-reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King and recently finished Inferno by Dan Brown.  Both are wonderful.

Take Luck,
