Let my hormones ask the questions....WWTK Q&A

It is Wednesday already?! You know what that means? I'm going to the JOSH GROBAN concert tonight!! Hot dang! And of course....its time for We Want To Know with my lovebug Mamarazzi and your master of ceremonies for the day, ME!

I've been reading some amazing books lately and they've inspired me, motivated me, moved me and made me smile. After reading The Help I found myself turning inward and asking some deep and honest questions (must be the pms) so I thought I'd share them this week!


1. What is the best advice someone has ever given you?

2. What is your greatest accomplishment?

3. Who do you admire?

4. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

5. How do you want to be remembered?

So grab the chocolate and the tissues and lets ride on this emotional roller coaster together!

1. What is the best advice someone has ever given you?

Don't get up from pooping until you pee the second time. No joke. That advice was actually given to me. Or...stay true to yourself. That's a lesson in life that I've had to learn the hard way. It took me a while to find ME, but now I wouldn't live life any other way.

2. What is your greatest accomplishment?

Hands down, being a mother. And not just a mother, but a good mother. Toot toot. Yup that's my horn. Because you know what? I am a good mother. And it hasn't been easy. Being a mother at 19 wasn't the easiest experience. Every thing about my situation at 19 was difficult, emotionally and physically. Three kids later and all of that pain has disappeared. I'm thankful for the experience and being able to reflect on what was, and what now is. Every day I look at my babies and know that there is nothing I can do in this life that will top them.

3. Who do you admire?

Oh man, well of course my Mom, but I think I've bragged about her too much ;) So for the sake of switching things up I am going to have to say my Mother in law. She. is. awesome. No seriously, she is. She is the epitome of patience. I've never seen her flustered, no matter what chaotic mess is going on. She's raised 7 children of her own and is a FOUNTAIN of knowledge! Plus she is a spiritual powerhouse. Any question I've ever had, she's answered. And trust me, I've had a lot of questions. She exudes love, patience, and warmth and seriously I wish I could be like her! I'm so thankful to have such an amazing example in my life. {this is totally making me the favorite daughter in law ;) }

4. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

My bowels. Dang IBS. But seriously now...let me think. I would change how defensive I can be. I have a hard time letting people in and completely trusting them. Once you're in, you're golden, but my past has toughened parts of my heart that still take time to soften. That's something that I have to work on daily. If I could change it overnight, I would.


5. How do you want to be remembered?

I want people to laugh when they think back on me. I want them to remember the way I snort when I laugh, the way my laugh sounds, and the love I have for them. If the only thing I leave behind are good memories that bring a warm smile to their face, then I've done my job.

Ok, enough of this mushy crap. I'm downing Midol like its going out of style over here. I can't wait to read all of your answers! I'll be thinking of you while I'm being serenaded my the one and only Groban....RAWR!! Happy writing!

  1. I love your answers! That advice is umm, very interesting. LOL
    I became a mom for the first time at 19 yrs old, too.

  2. Aww first I love that your MIL is someone you get along with. Cherish that! I love mine too, and I do admire her, but she also pushes my buttons.

    hahahah, that advice is golden. Sometimes I forget and go running back into the bathroom five seconds after I leave it. Match always teases me about it too. So yes, don't get up until you've peed a second time. :-)

    I'm defensive too, and a little too quick to judge. I am working on changing that, but like you I've been burned before.

  6. Being in tune with yourself is pretty important. It can be tough to do that in today's world, but I know I'm better off if I just listen to myself.
