Every week, I try to drop a little dose of motivation. To tell the truth, I write to motivate others AND myself! All mamas need a little “you don’t suck” every now and then, right? The goal in this here space is to move us all to do a little more of what makes us happy. It’s a beautiful thing! This time, I’m taking a break from my usual posts to do something a little different.
I’d love to get to know YOU. I’ll start by sharing a few fun things. I’ve got a list of seven things about me. Why seven? Well, whenever anyone asks what my favorite number is, I say seven. It’s like my knee jerk answer. I think that’s because it’s supposed to be lucky! So by all means, let’s get to know each other a little better.
1 Pilates is definitely my workout of choice. I got addicted when I was pregnant with baby number one.
2 Speaking of babies, I have two – a boy and a girl.
3 I’m addicted to loose leaf tea. Most people HAVE to brew coffee every morning, for me it’s tea..
4 My husband and I went to the same midwestern university at the same time and didn’t meet until we both ended up in California. The university had about 2500 students. We even had some of the same friends while in school. Odd. And meant to be. 🙂
5 I make lists for everything. everything. So this list came naturally. Ha!
6 I am teetering toward being a vegetarian. I’m getting more and more over meat and thinking the plant based life might be good for me. We’ll see.
7 I’m 6’1″.
How’s that for getting to know you? Tell me something about you. Any odd quirks? Crazy dreams? Spill ’em!

Yes, you and your husband were certainly meant to be. How wonderful!
1. I also have a girl and a boy child. 🙂
2. I didn’t have my first child until I was 30. (that’s certainly unusual to me)
3. My husband and I met online.
I didn’t have my first child until I was in my 30’s. It felt unusal for me too!
I think meeting online is getting more and more common!
Hmm….I love foxes, and my ultimate goal is to have a soft mount red fox to cuddle with, hehe.

Very cool! My kids just got a chance to pet a fox at a birthday party. I think it was the first time I’d seen one up close.
Hey love the topic! Let me tell you something good…ummm lets see. I have a super hello kitty obsession, bigger than an 8 year old! lol
Nice! I have a friend who is obsessed with Hello Kitty too! I saw a bunch of stuff at Target recently and sent her pictures. She was grateful and probably picked up some stuff!
Loose leaf tea is the way to go. It’s my favorite by far.
Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama recently posted…WW: Long Memorial Day Weekend!
I am obsessed! I had to stop buying it and finish some of the flavors I have. It was getting out of hand!
I love carnival and any uptempo music. At this moment there is carnival celebration going on in the Caribbean island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and I so wish I was there.

That sounds like a good time!
I love “meant to be” stories. That is how I feel about the adoption of my son. I felt like we were back together again, that in this great Universe of ours, our souls are connected. It is a nice feeling!

Aww! So very sweet! Love that!
Zumba is my workout of choice. No, I have absolutely no rhythm, but luckily that isn’t needed to do zumba!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) recently posted…Our Day at LEGOLAND® California
I just ordered a Zumba DVD. I have heard so much about it and can’t wait to try it. I think my kids will like it too since they get a kick out of me working out.
I just picked up some loose leaf tea to try. I’ve not brewed it before.
Virginia @thatbaldchick recently posted…MightyTravels Equals Mighty Savings!
Do it! It’s soo good. Then again, I’m an addict. LOL!
Like to walk and I enjoy being with my family. Oh and a coffee-addict.
Debbie Denny recently posted…Simply 7 Snack Squad Giveaway!
Family time is the best! Couldn’t agree more.
I have two boys. I hate when people misuse the word retarded. Cheesecake is my favorite dessert.
valmg @ Mom Knows It All recently posted…REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY – Masik Collegiate Fragrances
I HATE that word. It’s such a peeve!
I have one daughter. I live in Florida. I love animals.
Jenn @ The Rebel Chick recently posted…Chatting with a King: Disney’s Maleficent Sharlto Copley Interview #MaleficentEvent
I didn’t tap into my animal love until we got our dog almost six years ago. I only had fish growing up. Now I am totally an animal person.
Those are some great things about you. I am vegan and have been now for over a year. I quit cold turkey and never looked back. You can do it! 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement. If I could get my husband on board, I’d be golden!
I’m almost a foot shorter than you, I have a tramp stamp, and I’m terrified of heights.
Jenn recently posted…Barnyard Bento with Peeps Minis #PEEPSMINISWM {$50 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway}
My closest friends tend to be nearly a foot shorter than me. Go figure! I really wanted a tramp stamp years ago. I had no idea people called them that then. LOL!
I’m totally a list maker! And, not nearly as tall as you! And, I have 4 girls!
Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? recently posted…Daddy Did Disneyland
You have a full house for sure! I wanted four kids but I’m pretty sure we’re done. For always seemed like an ideal number to me. Reading your comment reminded me to go to Home Appetit for those seasonings!!!! LOL!
I have so many lists everywhere! I have to gain control! ;0
krystalskitsch recently posted…Have a #BetterBreakfast With Tyson® Day Starts⢠Sandwiches!
My lists are OUT OF CONTROL! They are online, in my phone, in notebooks! I might need help!
Great topic! I have a boy and a girl. I am a widow. I am terrified of bears.
Well, great to meet you Ann! I am not a fan of bears either. They are huge, scary and best viewed through a zoo enclosure! LOL!
You’re 6’1″??? That’s so tall! (I’m only 5’3″.) Random about me…I ran 3.5 miles today during my lunch hour and my running app told me that my “best run” was almost a year ago (June 1, 2013.) I’m hoping that June 7, 2014 will be my next best run. 🙂 I also have a son (just one child right now) and I don’t like coffee. Never have. Most of my family are coffee addicts, though.
Jaime recently posted…David Gray is ‘Back in the World’ with new album
I am so jealous that you run. I kept saying I was going to do it. I really have to try it out. I want to do one of those color runs. They look like such fun!
I love to eat chocolate ice cream with potato chips!
For some reason, I could see how that could work! LOL!
Something good- well, I have two children that are healthy. I do not think it gets better than that for a mom.
That made me smile! Certainly doesn’t get better than that!
1. I don’t have a workout routine because it aggravates my back problems. I used to play indoor soccer until my pain started causing issues.
2. I have three babies- 2 boys and a girl
3. I am addicted to diet dp.
4. I met my husband on MySpace.
5. I blog by the seat of my pants. I am going to have to get a calendar soon.
6. I love too much junk food.
7. I have an invisible illness.
Fascinating stuff! Thanks for sharing. Very cool that you guys met on MySpace! I knew a couple who were trying to get married on MySpace through some sweepstakes.
I am a self taught web designer that has become famous in the design realm. My dream is to own a hands off complete auto pilot company, and I publish a national magazine for direct sales reps.
Candace Hagerty recently posted…Thirty-One Gifts by Maria
Look at you! Very cool. I always marvel at self taught web designers. Nice!
I have 2 boys and a girl. I have spent almost 11 years living overseas. I wish I worked out more.
Janell Poulette recently posted…Infographic – The Brief History of The Man Bag
I have talked to my husband about living overseas at some point. I think it would be a great experience. I need to work out more too. It’s definitely more sporadic these days.
Little known fact about me… I am teaching my kiddos Broadway songs when the hubby is not home! We were blasting Defying Gravity in the car today!
Carly Bellard recently posted…(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Worst Children’s Book EVER!
Love that!!!!! I told my husband I wanted to expose my kids to some good Broadway show tunes! Oddly, he didn’t share my excitement. LOL!
That is crazy that you guys circled so near each other in college and didn’t meet there. It was definitely meant to be!

This is a fun post to put together. I have a friend who drinks tea all day. She says everyone does it in Scotland and old habits die hard. 🙂
I love getting personal tidbits from bloggers I follow. Loose leaf tea is amazing!
Christie recently posted…FINALLY! Real Bra Sizing with Aerie #AerieReal
What a fun tidbit about college!
I also love pilates, but I do Zumba classes more often.
I love tea, but am too lazy to brew my own. I do love the Lipton Pure Leaf bottles though!

I have 2 sister and 3 brothers.
I love to travel.
Ok, I think that enough!

I am a single mom of three boys, if that isn’t crazy enough? LOL

I’m a list maker too! I am a singer (trained in opera, but I love to sing anything). And, now I have “Tell Me Something Good” in my head. 🙂 Peanut butter spoons are my favorite food.
Ashley recently posted…My Mental Health: “It Looks Good on You.”
I love list like these! Love getting to know the bloggers I read! =)
My weird quirk – I can’t roll my tongue. All my kids, my husband, they all can, but I can’t! I’m a freak!

I love my tea as well. It is my go to beverage most days.
