Way back in 2008, when memes were all the rage, this one went around and I didn’t see it! What, oh I might have been to pregnant or nursing or out of the loop that week. Now Elaine from The Miss Elaine-ous Life is bringing it back Old School Blogging Style and just like way back when, it’s all about getting to know you. Or, in the case of this post, getting to know a little more about me.
I hope you will join in and tell us a little more about you. Making new friends and learning more about old friends is one of the absolute BEST parts of blogging!
And don’t forget to tweet with us @elainea and @BrittanyVandy, hashtag #OSBlog!
Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
For starters, I love musicals. Can you name the one above? It’s a good one and the kiddos can watch it too!
Now on to the fun and games!
The Getting to Know You Meme
Where is your cell phone? Sitting next to my hand, but usually I can’t find it, even when it is next to my hand.
Your significant other? Rocks my world, but is often away for business. Boo to being lonely. Yay to having a husband who cooks dinner and loves on me and the kids whenever he is home.
Your hair? My hair hasn’t been cut in a year. I am long overdue. I just never think to make an appointment.
Your mother? My best friend. End of story. She totally rocks.
Your father? We don’t talk enough.
Your favorite thing? I love my power tools something fierce, but yes, my favorite thing is my family.
Your dream last night? I have no clue.
Your favorite drink? Favorite has to be any kind of Pomegranate cocktail. I even love just whipping up some vodka and cherry pomegranate crystal light mix. So yummy!
Your dream/goal? To travel around the world with my husband and kids. World Trip 2020 baby!
The room you are in? My laundry room, mudroom and little desk. It’s the warmest room in the house.
Your fear? Dying and leaving my husband and children behind or alternatively, having any one of them die.
Where do you want to be in six years? I can’t think about this. My kids will all be too old and I want them to be little forever. I am a baby girl. I can’t get enough! Here is my with my little Violet. She is three now. Tears people, tears.
Where were you last night? Right here in the laundry room and office. I spend an inordinate amount of time in here. Sheesh. I need to get out!
What are you not? Tall, I am not tall at all. Pants never fit me. People I meet tell me they want to put me in their pocket. So yeah, I’m a shorty!
Muffins? Very rarely. Not many baked goods for this girl. I am a salty gal.
One of your wish list items? A real workshop, so I don;t have to drag my tools out every time I want to build something. Ooh, or just a really big garage. I miss having a garage.
Where you grew up? I’m a mutt. Chicago / Amherst, Mass. and Long Island. Take me back to NYC anytime!
The last thing you did? Cleaned up the kitchen.
What are you wearing? Gap Jeans, long sleeve BCBG grey striped shirt, UGGS and a black fleece. It is getting cold!
Your TV? I barely know what shows are on. Unless they are on the Disney Channel.
Your pets? Two guinea pigs, Mr. Jewel Sprinkles and Mr Spark as well as Sammy the Bearded Dragon.
Your computer? HP Touch Desktop and MackBook Pro Laptop. I just couldn’t give up Office on my PC.
Your life? Crazy town lately. Things just keep happening lately. I tend to put too many balls in the air myself and then other people tend to throw more to me. I like to be busy though.Your mood? A little tired but excited for the next few months!
Missing someone? My husband, who travels for work.
Your Car? Honda Odyssey, but I now dream of a Suburban for all of our road trips.
Something you are not wearing? Makeup
Favorite store? Anthropologie
Your summer? Travel baby and we loved it. Driving up the PCH with the kids was fantastic! We are all crazy for hikes and I think we did a dozen!
Also, Disney. I could have filed this under favorite things too. I am a Disney girl. I absolutely adore the magic in those parks. We finally got to hit DisneyLand this summer and found Mickey and Minnie together! We have never had this happen before!
Like someone? You mean like, like? Or like just friends. I like a lot of people, but I like like my husband.
Your favorite color? Peacock Blue
When was the last time you laughed? Just a few moments ago on the phone with my husband, as we discussed Miles’ actual chances of becoming a LEGO designer.
Last time you cried? Probably a few days ago. I am not afraid of a good cry and I have been really stressed out lately.
What is one thing on your To-Do list? Finish the darn blog design and start my new business. That may be two things, but once thing 1 is done thing 2 begins!
Now, tell me a little more about you!

Love to see another momma loving girl. It makes me sad that some women aren’t close with their mothers.

I just think your family is SO cute! And fun! And your dream/goal is similar to another one of mine, although I think you are already planning for yours to come true, yet? Here’s to 2020!

It’s so great getting to know you! Our bearded dragon’s name is Sydney…sounds like she and Sammy could be buds. And, I think it’s awesome that you still like, like your husband. That’ll keep you going for all the years to come. Your family is gorgeous…thanks for sharing!

Well thank you! The Bearded Dragon is great until we go away and have to find someone to feed him live crickets. There just aren’t many takers!
Thank you and Elaine for bringing back Old School Blogging. It’s so much fun to get to know others with a few simple questions. Great photos of your family. I’m also in Crazy Town. SO much going on and now the holidays are coming. Which I love but oh so much to do!!!
