- - QUESTIONS - -
{no. 1} Where is your favorite place to go on vacation, and if you could choose any place to go where would you go? I haven't really been on a vacation before, gasp I know! I can, however, tell you that we are planning to go on vacation next year to Oahu. If you've ever been I would love to talk to you about it and learn all the fun things to do there!
{no. 2} What is your favorite hobby? I love riding horses! 
{no. 3} When you need to get out of the house, what do you do? I used to go to the barn, but now I have to find new ways to get out of the house.. I'm wanting to start running (I'm signing up for a 5k soon!), that will get me out of the house and moving. 
{no. 4} What is your go to date night idea? I love going to the movies - movie theater popcorn is the best.
{no. 5} Do you have any tattoos, if so what of and where? I have one on my foot, and plans in the making for something on my side!
{BONUS} If you have a photo and don't mind showing us, feel free!
This was right after I had it touched up!

I participated in the Sweethearts Swap held by Chaotic Goddess Swaps! My partner was the awesome Tami from Tami's Eclectic Corner! I love how we clicked right away and how we both had so much fun shopping for each other! When I first opened the package and saw that she had everything wrapped in brown paper with super cute ties I knew that I was in for a real treat! I seriously love the brown wrapping paper!! I had my two boys help me open the gifts and I almost had to fight them for my stuff they were so excited. I've been looking at getting hair ties like the elastic ones for SO long, and now I finally get to try them! I've been dying to read some Nicholas Sparks' books, and now I have two! I have been needing a water bottle for Zumba, now I have one! That pink sparkly picture frame is perfect! And don't even get me started on how much I love nail polish. Tami seriously rocks when it comes to swaps!

I'm also linking up with Staci for this fun one time link up! 

Sorry I'm not sorry.. that I laugh when my son gets hurt. Some moms look at me like I sprouted two heads, but I'm not doing it to be mean. I'm doing it to show my son that he is okay, and to just brush it off and keep moving. Now he skins his knee, dusts himself off, and keeps playing. 

Sorry I'm not sorry.. when I tell ladies that there is no excuse for them not to lose weight, after all I am a personal trainer. I could come up with hundreds of reasons to not workout, but I don't. Being healthy and in shape is something you have to work hard for, that you have to sweat for. I'm not going to encourage someone to continue being lazy. 

Sorry I'm not sorry.. that I can't stop buying books. I've bought at least 25 books this past month and am still waiting on a few more books to come in the mail. I love to read, and now that I don't have a horse I have all this extra me time. I'm a book drunkard.

I'm loving that we always get a ton of coupons for Chuck E Cheese. So of course we had to take a trip to our local Chuck E Cheese with the kids yesterday! It's so fun watching them run to all of the machines and win a ton of tickets. Not to mention, John and I have fun playing too. It is such a great way to get out of the house and have fun.

I'm loving my swap package! I can't wait to start reading those books and use all of my goodies! I can only hope she enjoys the package I sent her half as much as I am loving mine!

I'm loving how I already need to go out and buy another book shelf! John bought me another book shelf for Christmas and it is already overflowing with books.

I'm loving that we have been getting out of the house more as a family and having a lot of fun.

Good luck with the 5k! I started there too, long ago, and I have come to love running!

Jo said...

Good luck with the 5k ... my friend is trying to talk me into running one with her in April.

VandyJ said...

I'm waiting for things to thaw out and then I can start running again. It's still too snowy and cold to do it now.

Robin said...

I understand your point about why you laugh at your son. Although I'm not a mom, I think it's annoying when some moms act like all other moms must think the way they do, and do the things that they do.

Sara Elizabeth said...

Thanks for linking up with us for Sorry I'm Not Sorry!

RockinMom said...

Yay! A 5k . :-) . You are going to be hooked after the first one. I will be posting info soon to join a virtual 5k for Sandy Hook. I hope to get the info up by the end of the week.

Jennie said...

Staci said...

You are my new favorite Mom ever! Kids are way too babied these days! It's the wussification of America. And I love that you described yourself as a book drunkard haaha

I have to give you some love! I haven't been on in forever and I absolutely love this post! Your switch presents was awesome and if you haven't seen the Safe Haven movie yet, I always read the book and it was absolutely amazing!! I miss your face and want to see you soon!!!

Emmy said...

That door is cool! I just got a ton of books myself which is why I am behind on blogging, I get so lost in a good book.

becca said...

what a great package and it is true you have to work at being healthy I know lots of people have excuses and want to blame a bad childhood or a break up but for me it's just that I love to eat and make wrong choices something I am working hard on changing. Now as for buying book girl don't even I currently have four book shelf full and am thinking of getting another one. oh and cute tattoo.

Nicole said...

That tattoo looks soooo painful :). I'm a weenie I guess :). And I soooo want to read Safe Haven! Super cool you got it.

Laney said...

I love to read too. are you a member of one of those book clubs. i use to be a member of the harlem one. it was cool but i had to quit. If i had money now I'd buy piles of books esp all by nicholas sparks and debbie macomber.

i have both of those books and I love em.

I'm trying to finish safe haven now so i can go see the movie.
