Happy Thursday Ladies!
Hope you are all having a great week so far! I am really looking forward to the weekend!
My friend Jenny nominated me for the Sisterhood of Blogging Award! If you aren't reading Jenny's blog, you need to! She is a super sweet girl from NC, and her blog is fantastic! She keeps it REAL....real REAL! I just adore her!
Jenny gave me a list of 10 questions to answer...so here goes...
1. Why did you get into blogging? I started reading blogs about two years ago, and it quickly became a morning ritual for me, wake up, grab some coffee and read a few blogs! I decided to start my own blog, not because I really thought there was lots of people out there wanting to read what I write, but I thought it was a great way to kind of keep a scrapbook of my life, and I knew there were some really great women out there in the blogging world, and I have truly enjoyed getting to know them. I think it is awesome that through blogging we are able to "meet" great women, get to know each other and follow along life with them!
2. How did you choose your blog name? When I decided to start a blog, I was really stumped for a bit trying to come up with a name for it. I don't have an office in my house, so up in my bedroom, in the corner, is where I have my desk, laptop, and it's a space for just me. I have a big wooden "K" hanging above my desk, and it's my little corner...and from that came Kimm's Korner!
3. What is your favorite season and why? Hands down my favorite season is fall. I spent the first 31 year of my life living in NJ and we had the BEST falls there! Living here in NC, our falls kind of suck...it is HOT here until like mid October, like close to 90 degrees hot everyday! There are so many things I love about fall....pumpkin everything, chilly mornings and chilly nights, apple pie, apple cider, sweaters, sweatshirts, boots, leggings, and FOOTBALL!
4. If you could choose one favorite clothing style or hair style from your past to bring back, what would it be? I thought long and hard about this question, and there really isn't a particular clothing style I would want to bring back, and back in the day, this girl from New Jersey had some big hair, sprayed with lots of Aqua Net...I definitely don't want to bring that back!
5. Do you have a favorite blog post? I don't have one particular post that is my favorite, however I really love my posts that I do once a year on my children's birthdays. Their birthdays are always so emotional for me, I hate they are growing up so fast! I know that one day I will be so happy I have this little blog to look back on and read those yearly posts.
6. Have you ever shared anything on your blog that you wish you hadn't after you had already posted it? I have posted quite a few things on my blog that have gotten people fired up! I am a pretty outspoken girl, and I voice my opinion often, and am never afraid to communicate, in a very respectful way, how I feel about things. I realize that not everyone is always going to agree with what I have to say, or feel the same way I do, and I always love hearing other people's points of view. I don't regret posting anything, everything I have ever posted is something that I believe in, and am simply sharing my opinion on it, what I do hate though is just how mean and nasty some people can be. I know it comes with the territory of blogging and putting yourself out there, but it definitely sucks seeing how many people are just so hateful! I don't ever judge people, and I find it so crazy that people will sit behind their computer, anonymously, and rip you a new one for having an opinion they feel is wrong!
7. What's your favorite way to relax? For me, hanging out on the couch, in my pajamas, with a glass of wine, and having my husband right next to me is pure relaxation. Our life is so crazy busy almost all the time, so I truly treasure when we can just put our phones away, and just enjoy each other...to me it is super relaxing!
8. What would your dream job be? Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted nothing more than to grow up and be a mom...and lucky for me I have been fortunate enough to be able to have my dream job! However...if I had to pick a dream job outside the home, it would definitely be a sideline reporter for the NFL! I love me some football...and I would love to be down on the sidelines during and after the game interviewing the coaches and players!
9. What is one of your fears? My biggest fear is that something awful would happen to one of my children. I am sure this is the fear for many parents out there. With all the craziness that has been going on lately in this world, I am that mom who definitely feels scared all the time!
10. Who would play you in a movie about your life? The first person that came to mind when I read this question was Kate Gosselin...I know weird! I know so many people HATE her, but I could totally picture her playing me in a movie about my life.
So there you have it...a little about me!
I thought Jenny's questions were great, so I am just going to "borrow" them...I know she won't mind! I'm nominating some fabulous bloggers that I love reading each day, to answer the same questions I did!
