Hey friends, I hope you are having a great week! We have had some unseasonably warm weather and it's been so nice. Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the park and it was lovely! I'll be honest, I am in a major blogging rut. Life is busy right now. Jack has dropped his nap so that takes away time to write a blog post and then by the time we get the boys to bed I am spent and just want to sit on the sofa and veg, or fall asleep which is what usually happens. I have so many post ideas that I need to sit down and work on.
So for today I am answering some fun random questions. My sweet friend Sarah posted them on Monday and I thought it was a great idea. I love finding out random facts about others!
1. What is your favorite smell?
Fresh clean babies straight from the bath! Also baby laundry done with Dreft.

2. Last time you cried?
Yesterday morning. I was watching the Today show and they did a segment on the school shooting last week interviewing a teacher and student and I lost it. I was sobbing. Here's a fact about me, I cry all.the.time. We're talking certain commercials can bring the water works. I am super tender hearted and there are so many things that just get me and I start tearing up. Patrick laughs at me every time.

3. What is your favorite pizza?
I really like cheese. But if I was going to pick toppings it would be ham and pineapple.

4. What is your favorite flower?
Hydrangeas! I have always loved them. My dad has the most gorgeous ones planted at our lake house in Michigan. We also purchase new plants each year and put them in pots on our deck and then plant them in the beds the following spring. My goal is to have huge flowering hydrangea plants!

5. What is your favorite dog breed?
I grew up with standard poodles so I love them. Patrick had a sweet lab Roscoe who we had to put down last spring and he was the best. I want to get some sort of doodle when we decide to get a dog. Especially for the non-shedding reason!

12. Night owl or morning person?
I'm really neither! Ha. Although I'm becoming much more of a morning person since having kids. I am usually asleep on the sofa by 9-9:30 nightly so I definitely wouldn't say I'm a night owl. I'd say I'm a mid day person haha

Saturday!

I love, love, love hydrangeas, too! They were the centerpiece of my wedding bouquet (green hydrangeas and white roses). I always love seeing the pictures you have posted of your dad's beautiful Michigan hydrangeas!
ReplyDeleteLOL I always say I am a mid morning person ;) I also cry at every thing and it has gotten worse since having kids so you can imagine my water works catching up on This Is Us last night...Lord have mercy! xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteYou and me both with the sleeping on the couch around that time! I can't seem to stay awake!!! #kids I never untie my laces before taking my shoes off either. And yes, the tears--I'm right there with you, especially with the shootings and subsequent interviews. I saw a news spot last night on this super safe school somewhere in the US, but the things that they have/are doing made me so sad that kids even have to know how to do these things. Hiding in corners, flipping tables over to give them shields from bullets...ugh!!!
ReplyDeleteI cry all the time, too! The school shooting at been getting me, too. I have the news on in the morning before I work and I don't think I have left the house without tears in my eyes since it has happened. And even just heart warming stories get me, too!

ReplyDeleteI'm also an easier crier and empathize so much. When that little boy who was a refugee washed up on the shores a few years ago I had a break down--the news story caught me off guard and I cried/sobbed so hard I had a panic attack. Its hard when you can imagine the pain they must be feeling but can't do anything about it. I try to stay away from stories/books/news about kids in peril/sick/dead because they stick with me so very much.
ReplyDeleteOn a happier note: PIZZA.
You and me both on the mid-day kind of person haha. I'm becoming less of a night owl as I get older (not muchhh less, but less than when I was younger haha), but I'm definitely more pleasant mid-day ;) I'm also SO with you on the crying haha. Been known to cry during like every Subaru commercial ever televised.
ReplyDeletehahaha yes we are so the same! I cry a lot, too! It's pretty easy to make me cry!

No joke, I could eat pizza every single meal, every single day.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I don't untie my shoes before taking them off either. I thought that's how everybody did it!
ReplyDeletePizza is my favorite food too. I rarely untie my shoes when I take them off.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas all the way!! And clean babies out of the bath omg I wish I could bottle up that smell!
