I have a cold.
Translation: I don’t feel like blogging.
And when I don’t want to do something-I usually don’t.
Totally lame habit of mine.}
{That would be toilet paper my friends. Used on my nose. Not to be confused with what I use on my booty}
She is talented-sweet-beautiful-oh and did I mention talented?
And today, not only is she here to introduce herself to you-she is also giving away something suhhh-wweeet.
Hey y’all – it’s nice to meet you! Of course, we haven’t officially met until you come on over to my place and say hi, so consider this to be your official invitation!
So you want to know a little bit about me, right? (No, we just want the deets of the giveaway.) Yeah. Do I know blog readers, or do I know blog readers?
Well, I’m going to share the basics. If you really want to get to know me, visit me over here for a peak into our crazy wonderful life.
Age: 29
Home State: Texas (hence the overabundance of “y’all” on my blogs)
Marital Status: Happily (for 6 1/2 years)
Occupation: Graduate student // Freelance writer and graphic designer // Brand new SAHFM (Stay-At-Home-Foster-Mom) to three boys, ages 10, 11, and 15. If you’re not a math whiz I’ll just break it down for you: I’m 14 years older than our oldest boy. Awkward? Not really.
Favorite Book: Anne of Green Gables // Redeeming Love
Favorite T.V. Show: Big Bang Theory // Parenthood // Castle // The Closer
Random Fact: My black lab, Promise, is 14. I’ve had her almost half my life.
Being different is okay: I’d rather wear sneakers than heels // I’d rather snuggle and cuddle than go on a fancy date // I’d rather sit in my front porch swing than go on a shopping spree // I’d rather read a good book than watch a movie
I blog about:
At DAES of Our Lives I blog about country living, my quest to better health (over the last year I have reversed my symptoms of fibromyalgia), and our newest adventure of becoming a first-time mom to three boys.
I also blog at Royal Daughter Designs. Starting on November 21 RDD will be hosting ChristmasOrnament Countdown: 30 days of handmade ornaments and holiday decorations. If you have a DIY ornament idea, I would love to show off your mad ornament crafting skeelz! Would you consider partnering with me for 30 days to share some of your awesomeness? You can find all the deets here.
