Back in April I turned 35 so I thought it would be fun for me to share 35 things about myself. I love following different people and bloggers online and its always great to know a little bit about them so you have a better idea who you are hearing from. So here we go 🙂
1)I am originally from New Jersey and moved to Connecticut in 2007. My husband is from here, I like it here, but I will always be a Jersey girl.
2) We met in Las Vegas. WARNING: What happens in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas.
3) He is 12 years older then me.
4) Our first son passed away at 2 days old. We love you Vinny <3
5) We have struggled with infertility. I have done IVFs, IUIs, had a surrogate, and were almost ready to adopt.
6) After all of those infertility struggles my 3 year old was conceived naturally. My 1 year old via IUI.
7) If we were younger I would totally have another baby.
8) Law enforcement is in my blood, my father is a Sheriff. I even took the police test when I was younger.
9) I have no family in CT they are all still in NJ.
10). I was an advertising/marketing major in college which is why I think I love blogging so much.
11) I have a major shopping addiction and enjoy sharing the things I love with others. Another reason why I started blogging.
12)I love being a mom but I am not a naturally patient person so I do struggle sometimes.
13)I enjoy working out, it makes me feel and look good.
14)I am a complete OCD neat freak, if I am home I am probably cleaning.
15)I will choose a pool over the beach anyway.
16)We only eat out once a week and hardly ever do take out.
17)I get Dysport (its like botox) religiously and love it so much.
18)I have never had short hair, it has always been long and dark.
19)I had Melanoma when I was 26. Luckly it was caught early and I only needed surgery.
20)I love throwing parties
21) I am a real estate broker. From prairie to peak, HomesEh.ca showcases the best of Canadian real estate. Begin your bespoke property journey.
22) My husband and I own our own businesses, his is landscaping and mine is real estate.
23)I get seasonal depression very bad.
24)I hate the winter, snow, and being cold
25) My mom is my best friend, I call her 5 times a day.
26)We are Disney fanatics. I went 9 times as a kid and have gone 5 times since having my own children.
27) I love makeup so much that I went to school to get my professional makeup artists certification 7 years ago.
28)Everyone always thinks I am wearing fake lashes even when I am not. I remember even the lunch ladies in high school asking me.
29)I danced for 13 years and was even in 11 dances one year in one recital.
30) I work a lot but only have a sitter come a few hours, 4 days a week. Not sure how I get anything done lol
31)I am a huge animal lover. Our beagle passed away 2 years ago and we found him in our driveway as a stray. He was our first baby.
32)Our dog now is a pittie/rottie mix. They said he was a lab/hound when we adopted him lol But he is the sweetest and is the best dog ever for our kids.
33)We take our kids everywhere with us. They love going away and out to dinner.
34)They both go to bed 6:30/7pm so we do date nights after they go to sleep.
35)I love to sleep and miss getting my 10 hours a night like I use too
