So I finished with my email to my friend about her cat.. Finally!!! And I started sorting through some of the questions that you guys have sent me. I keep my email really organized with folders and when a new question comes in.. I put them in the folder and hold on to them until I am ready to do a post with the answers! If you sent a question that's not on here just hold on... I will get it up in another post! Unless of course if is a mean question.. those wont be answered!!!!
So here are to days questions and answers! Questions in green and answers in blue! =)
I would love to know what a typical day in your life is like..
There is no typical day around here. I like for days to be the same but they never are. I normally wake up around 11 or so.. Sometimes later.. I grab some coffee.. feed the cats and try to get a post done of my thoughts on the day and then I usually get cleaned up. Then I start on the house.. toss laundry around..make the beds.. sweep the floor..then I normally do any shopping in the late afternoon.. come home.. empty the dishwasher..start dinner..and wait on husby to get home. I then hang out with him and then when he goes to bed.. I finish up whatever needs to be done including cleaning up from dinner.. This is the time I normally like to take a hot bubble bath..Afterwards.. I usually fold a load of laundry.. Watch some tv for a while.. play with the kittens..blog..and then right before bed I make the coffee.. pick up anything that's out of place.. leave hubby a note and head to bed! Hope that lets you know what I do most of the day! There is a lot I left out but this kinda gives you an idea of what I do. Really its never ending around here!
When will the next post of your love story be?
Well..that's a good question! I will try to work on it as soon as I have the free time! I also have the kitty cat blog that also needs updated! This is my main blog so everything goes on here first! But Our Fairytale is a work in progress. There is a ton of writing to do to get that up to date. It could take years to finish it! Its the written word of our lives together. I do have a post nearly done but still have a little more to write and proof read! So stay tuned for that new post!
I would love to know how you have found ways to still prioritise your husband since the kids have arrived. Has it been hard? What ways have you found to continue to work on your marriage?
Wow.. what a question... Its no secret the kids don't stay with me full time. We have had to relocate a few times with husbys work so everyone felt it was in the best interest of the kids to not move them around a lot. Its sad but its what was best for the kids to have a more stable environment. But summers and holidays they are with us. It is an adjustment when we are use to it just being us but we love them being here! Its never an easy job to balance kids and a husband. I know many wives who battle this daily. Its just hard.. What works for us is that we make time to be together..even if its only for a few minutes. When Scott first gets home.. the house is always crazy...Its like we all are trying to tackle him at the same time.. Cooper included! But once things settle down a few minutes later..we ask the kids for a few minutes so we can talk about our days.. Then we do dinner together and when we are done the kids clean the table and we enjoy a few minutes on the porch. We also talk in the shower a lot and we just lock the bedroom door when we need a break. My kids are old enough to watch tv or play without us being there every minute. The alone time really makes things better.. We are better parents for taking it. We also text a lot through out the day.. I leave him notes in the morning almost every day.. and we just do it. We find the ways to make the time. That's what every parent has to do. And lets face it.. All our husbands are like big kids.. they need attention too!
How do you feel about having lots and lots of people reading your blog- most of the people you don't know? Does it ever bother you?
This question was with the one above.. and its another great question.. It never bothers me that people I don't know read the blog! Its not a huge blog..there are many more out there that are bigger and better but this is our little place in the cyber world. It was just at first for family to keep up with us being we are always on the move. Then it started growing and I have made lots of new blogging friends. I wish more people would follow but.. I understand that for a lot of people.. taking time to read a blog in their busy lives is not always easy. Its funny when the neighbor comes up to me and says I found your blog online! That always brings a smile to my face! The worst part of blogging is getting a mean comment. Its not too normal but it does happen.. Like a dummy I respond a lot of times. That has ended.. I will not respond to mean comments. I think the only thing that I haven't done to make it stop is not respond. I wont lie.. Its hard at times. I want to say something to them but as you know.. it only makes matters worse. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of my life.. my home.. my blog.. but that's where it ends. I am the decision maker about what happens in my life. This blog has been such a great thing in so many ways. I love it.. doubt it will end any time soon!
What is your "home all day " outfit?
Ha!! I like comfy clothes!! Sweats..work out clothes..Nikie's and a loose top. Yes I wear jeans too but not when I am just staying home cleaning the house. I use to wear dresses and heels every day when I was on the road working with Scott. There are days I miss that.. but I enjoy comfort more!
How hard is it to Breed cats? I am thinking about doing it. What would be your advice?
I love my cats. I love them just as much as husby and my kids.. I really do .. Its been a life long dream of mine to own a cattery. Its A LOT of work.. We are in a rental house right now and its just not ideal. We have to have temporary housing for them and its just not working so well. Honestly, I don't know if it is something I will continue or not. Is a big big deal. I don't recommend it but if someone has their mind made up.. there is nothing I am going to say to change it.. Its costly.. smelly.. loud and demanding!! Just like a kid!! But.. those kittens are great and made it all worth it to me.. But husby is tired of it already and in some ways so am I .. So time will tell...With the kids here..they have let Giovanni around Gabby.. who is back in heat and we might have another litter coming in the fall.. OY!!!!
What kind of camera do you use and what software do you use to edit your pictures?
Camera.. Well.. I currently have a Nikon Coolpix S3000 and its been a great camera. I am hard on cameras and this is my 3rd one. Right now this one is all messed up too. I was taking pictures while cooking and I sat it down in melted butter..on accident of course and now the screen is messed up. My mom got me a camera not too long ago but my Nikon was better.. So I just don't use it. Its really big and not a every day kind of camera. So I have been using my " fuzzy " one until I get another. I also have the phone on my phone that I like to use a lot too. I have used photo shop a lot .. prefer Coreal Paint Shop Pro ~ but also like to use a web based photo editor called picnik to edit photos too. Its great for doing collages and banners.. Great site.. Check it out!
How is things going in your new town? Have you figured out your way around town yet? How is house hunting going? When you do you plan to move again?
Well I am adjusting... I still get lost a lot. I don't go a lot of different places. I tend to stick to what I know and let husby drive to new places. I have made it clear that I didn't like it here but I am trying.. I know I can live any where and when I compare it to where I grew up from.. MUCH MUCH BETTER!! I hate the town I was raised in.. I don't like to even go back there to visit. So when I think of that.. I know I just need to shut up and learn to like it here. We are currently house hunting for a bigger place. Don't know where it will be ... It could be here.. it could be a few towns over.. We have to be moved by September. I was talking to a friend last night about moving and she just cant believe I am willing to do it again. Well.. I don't want to pack but I will do it for the right house.. a bigger house! What I want is for Scott to relocate to South Florida and move there. That's what I want.. But that might have to wait a while!
What is your favorite make up and why?
I love all make up.. I don't have a favorite really. I prefer a more expensive foundation and the rest of the stuff don't matter.. I have high end make up and drug store make up both. I think any and all works just fine. I love MAC, Chanel, Clinque but I also love Revlon and Physicians Formula and ELF. I don't think you need expensive make up to look great. I think you can create any look with make up that you find at your local drug store.
Well that's all I have time for today! I will try to get the others done in a week or two.. In the mean time if you have a question feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email at
Hope everyone is having a great afternoon! I have to get busy around here and get things picked up!
