Nice to Meet you Mondays Kick off 2012!

Hi everyone!! Next Monday I will be starting my 2012 edition of Nice to Meet You Mondays!! I had a bunch of interest in this series so even though it was originally only supposed to be May I have bloggers lined up through the end of June. Thanks so much for the interest!

To kick things off I thought I would answer the questions I sent off as interview questions. Here we go...

Describe yourself in 10 words or less.

Wife, new Mom, writer, photographer, blogger, creative, kind, thoughtful,

What made you get into blogging? And inspired your blog’s name?

I was reading blog after blog about all kinds of things....and I thought why not blog myself! At the time I was planning my wedding and wanted to track my wedding planning progress. I kind of dropped the ball here and there but once my wedding was over I picked it back up. Then fell off the wagon again briefly being taken down by a pregnancy, and am now back up and running again. I love that I can always come back to it, record my life happenings, things I am currently obsessing over. My blogs name is currently in the process of being altered along with my design...so I will unveil the new name and design hopefully within the next month!

If you had an endless budget…what store would you spend hours shopping in?

I think I would say Nordstroms. I can buy bags, shoes, makeup, perfume, clothes for me, the hubs and Baby J!   

How do you spend a typical Sunday?

It is a semi-healthy mix of running around like a crazy person...and relaxing. There is tons of laundry, food shopping, cleaning to get done. But there is also some nice long walks, playing with my baby and spending some quality time with my husband mixed in too. 

What song would be the theme song to your life, right now? 

Ohh..this is a tricky one!! 

I am going to say Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift...

I sang this song to my little Baby J before he was even born..and I still sing it now. The CD is always in my car and when I am in the mood this is the song I put on. 

If you want to check out lyrics...check them out here  

Tell us about your absolute must-have item in your closet.

Bags...I am going to just say bags in general. I have a lot of bags...my favorite designers are LV, Coach, Tory Burch, and Michael Kors. I can't get enough of bags! I think any bag can totally change an outfit and put a whole new spin on it. So my absolute must have in my closet right now...my bag collection. I love them all dearly! 

One of my all time favorite...the LV NeverFull MM Tote...such a great bag and I can fit so much in it!

Let us know some of your favorites. Favorite food, favorite book, favorite movie, favorite TV show, favorite color, favorite place to visit…now go!

Food: French Fries, Book: Twilight Series, Movie: While You Were Sleeping, TV Show: Vampire Diaries or the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows, Color: Pink, Place to Visit: Maine!

If you could switch lives with ANYONE for the day, who would it be and why?

Kate Middleton...I would love to be royalty for a day!! She is gorgeous and her wardrobe is pretty amazing too!

What inspires you? {this can be about anything…blogging, life, crafts, etc..}

I answered a similar question before HERE....check it out if you are interested! My answer remains the same!

What are your favorite types of blogs to read? (i.e. fashion, home decorating, crafting, running, cooking, etc…)

I would have to say lifestyle blogs! I love to read about other peoples lives and feel like you can actually  get to know someone. I love reading product reviews, people's shopping hauls, new recipes, crafts to try, and photography blogs. I would have to say I like a mix of everything on a blog...I think that's why I kind of write about all kind of stuff on here.

We all like to find some good new reads, so please share your daily reads! Give a shout out to your top 3 favorite blogs. 

I love the following ladies blogs! 

O is Meg....love this girl! She has a baby girl the same age as my Baby J and it's so fun to watch her little girl grow up and experience some of the same things we are going through with our little guy! And she has great product reviews and awesome makeup tips!!

Pink Lou Lou...this girl always looks fabulous!! Between her weave tutorials, makeup reccs, and endless fashion finds...I pop on this blog a few times a week to see what Ms. Pink Lou Lou is up to! And...I share her obsession with Mrs. Carrie Underwood! 

The Daybook...another new Mom over there too...impeccable style...just an overall great read!

 

Stay tuned for some lovely ladies being featured of the next 8 Mondays!!
