I'm not big on the selfie thing, but they had a photo booth at the event I was photographing and I thought 'why not?!' :) So there I am! A few random things you may not know about me…
I still get embarrassed when people find out about my blog & I never refer to myself as a 'blogger'
I just purchased my first pair of boots {other than snow boots!}
I used to HATE living in Iowa {& still wish I would had moved out of state for a while} but now that I have kids, I'm so glad I live here. I love {almost} all things about Iowa now
My favorite website to shop on is Etsy. They have everything and it's all adorable. If I need to by something cheap and {fairly} quick, I shop on Amazon. For kids clothes, my go-to is Baby Gap. For myself, I go to VonMaur, and my husband I go to American Eagle. Confession:I just purchased my first pair of jeans in FIVE years.
I have been pregnant most of the last 3 years. In a couple of years I want to be pregnant for another 3 years :)
I don't drink coffee & have never stepped foot in a Starbucks.
Instagram may be my all time favorite creation in life. I love it! {& clearly am addicted to it!} #Overgram
I know this isn't common, but I live to be the 'room mom' at my kid's school/daycare. Oh, and I drive a minivan, too! ;)
I don't eat any fruits or vegetables. Yes, I know this is unhealthy. I just can't. I've tried a few things and I can't swallow them down. :/ I'm trying to make my kids do better than me though. Thankfully, as of now, they at least love veggie pouches.
If I had a weekend to myself it would be spent sleeping, shopping, going to the spa, and reading.
I'm hoping to plan a small getaway for our 5 year anniversary this fall
When I was little I wanted to be a stay at home mom, then a teacher, but ended up getting my degree in Business because I thought they made more money {ha!} Not I wish I would have studied Graphic Design and Photography
I usually only shop 3-4 times a year, so when I do, I do! Everyone's wardrobe gets updated. And typically 2 of those shopping sprees are because we have family photos scheduled. Also, I buy 3-4 sets of the very same outfit {usually different color tops though} because when it takes me forever to find something I like that works well for me. {3 pair of the same jeans, 10 of the same shirts {LUSH brand for those interested} in different colors, even the same style panties for the last like 10 years--aren't you all glad you know this?!} :)
I graduated college in just 3 years and have held at least one job at a time since I was 14
I cut Adam & the kids' hair {except their first hair cuts}
Someday I'm going to give up my corporate job and take my photography business full-time. My dream is to do photography 2 days a week + weekends and stay home with our kids the other 3 days a week
I'm planning to run my first 1/2 marathon this summer at the age of 27 & recently lost 20 pounds of 'baby weight'
Murdock was my first baby, but if I had known the quality of his life would be like this I would have let him go. It's so hard not letting your emotions get in the way.
My 'real' job is at a hospital. No, I'm not a nurse {always the first question people ask}. I work with students, residents & physicians. I truly enjoy my job, I just wish I had more time to do it or less of it to do! :)
