I wanted to inspire people to start eating healthy. When I cut meat and most dairy from my diet, I lost 20 pounds SO fast it was unreal! It has opened my eyes to what really goes into our food and how I feel when I eat certain things. It's truly changed my life on so many levels.

True Blood, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead & Vampire Diaries (can't pick one)

Not necessarily, but looking forward to making some with my husband and son.

No, I'm lame!

My Great Grandfather. He died right before I was born and I would love to meet him and ask all sort of questions about his life and how things were when he grew up!

A simple red wine, a Margarita, and Summer Shandy

8. No kids, no hubby, no work- what are you doing with your time?
Sleeping. Or Scrap booking. Or shopping in peace...for myself!

Kohls.

Shower.

11. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Michigan. I love being near my family and friends. I've actually been offered jobs out of this state TWICE and turned them down.

Have a great weekend!

  5. Congratulations on the award!

    Tons of interesting things about you, thanks for sharing. Have you shared the story about being born legally blind? Are you still off meat. I stopped for 8 years and then started again but didn't gain back the weight. In fact I'm lighter now than before I had my three kids (at one time!?). All the best with baby #2. I'm also a new follower via Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/journeyofthezoo).

    Thanks for linking up to my weekly BlogLovin Hop (http://www.journeysofthezoo.com/search/label/BlogLovin%20Hop). I’m a follower of yours.

    Looking forward to connecting further.

    1. Thank you so much! I never really thought about blogging about being born legally blind, but now I am inspired to do so! Thanks for that!

      I am still meat free but have fish every once in a while (when we go out). It feels good to be able to maintain my weight and haven't really missed meat too much.
