I am so excited to answer all the questions that Scrappy Gifts sent me! This way I won’t have to pull more out of my endless mind of nonsense. So here we go with the one minute interview. 🙂
Where would you like to go on vacation?
- I have always wanted to go to Bora Bora and stay in an overwater bungalow. Doesn’t this look amazing?! I would also like to go on an African Photo Safari.
If you could choose your own name, what would it be?
- Funny you should ask this because I actually kind of did choose my name. In the second grade, I found out we were moving to Utah and thought I would be weird if my name was Emma. So, I switched to going by my middle name Michelle. Funny that now Emma is like one of the most popular girl names out there, but no so much in 1987.
What’s your favorite season and why?
- My favorite season is most definitely Fall. Those who have been following me for a while will be well aware of this. I did a gazillion fall decorating posts. I love the chill in the air, the crunching leaves, the colors. I love pulling your sweaters out for the first time. I love harvest time when you can find such wonderful local produce. I love back to school shopping (no kids in school yet) and finding 25 cent packs of crayons and 15 cent notebooks. I just love everything about fall.
What do you like best about your home (maybe include a picture)?
- One of the things I like best is our master
bathroom. We tore the entire thing out down to floor boards and remodeled it all ourselves. Ok, so someone put in the gigantic floor to ceiling two person shower (I could stand in that thing all day just basking in the hot water), but we did the rest. I painted the cabinets, which were stained oak. Hubs and bro in law did the tile floors. We got all new fixtures and even a new toilet. I know you love the sticker on the lid.
I bought it as a joke and now the hubs has become rather attached to it.
I love the undermount sink and that the faucet is high enough that my two year old can climb up and use it as a drinking fountain. This room gives me a great sense of accomplishment. I just wish it had more natural light. We tried to put a window in the shower, but quickly realized that behind that wall is the chimney.
What are your favorite meals and dessert?
- Favorite meal is probably when we do fondue for Christmas Eve. Not only for the delicious steak and chocolate fondue, but for the family time and spirit that is involved.
- Dessert, well, I adore most every dessert. But, I will never be disappointed with a brownie sundae with home made hot fudge or molten chocolate cake.
Biggest pet peeve?
- Wet socks, there is nothing I hate more than stepping in wetness when just in socks.
Thanks again for all the questions! This is me in a nutshell. Don’t forget the winners for our Blogiversary Week Celebration will be announced late this afternoon! Stop by and see if you are going home with a door prize! Thanks for partying with us!
Oh and did ya see over there on the sidebar that I am so close to my Blogiversary wish of 500 google followers. It’s killing me! I may have a special surprise for you if I get my wish, it may or may not have to do with a certain Glee episode and a certain Beyonce song. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Fall is my favorite too. I wish it were fall all year round!
I tried switching my name around too, but for me it didn’t “stick”. I just realized that I didn’t want to be called Elaine for the rest of my life, so I went back to my middle name of Adrian, and now I love it. Confuses the heck out of my Facebook friends from High School because now that I’m married, both first and last names are different from what I used in school.
Great answers! Love the fall too; can’t wait to take my kids back to school shopping. Bora Bora looks cool. Interesting about your name. Your bathroom looks fabulous – is it on the top floor – maybe you can look into doing a ceiling window thing someday.
Love your bathroom, super cool story about your name. I think everyone she answer more questions like these. I love reading.
I can’t stand wet socks either! It ruins my whole day, there is no way I could just leave them on and tough it out! Ick!
