1. Favorite snack food:

I used to snack all.the.time.

However, nowadays I snack a little less (bye bye 45 pounds!),

but my go-to snack is a string-cheese.

Is that weird?

That probably makes me sound like a 5 year old. String cheese and ritz crackers.

Yep, I'm officially a kid, I think.

2. Favorite place you've ever visited:

I love going to Avalon/Stone Harbor, New Jersey in the summertime with my family.

It's just a fun, special place for me.

But locally?

I have a few spots (parks, ponds, lakes, etc) that I love to go to and escape to with my daughter.

It feels like a secret little trip, but it's just right around the corner.

It's also an opportunity for me to bring my camera.

But, then again--what isn't?! :)

3. Favorite movie:

Don't laugh.

But my all time favorite movie EVER is Charlotte's Web.

Absolutely adore it, in every way, shape and form.

As far as newer type movies?

I pretty much love all romantic comedies/chick-flicks---because I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

I don't mind cheesy.

I quite like it, actually.

But, I refuse---refuse to watch anything involving fire, guns, gangs, killing, bombing, war, etc.

So, basically that rules out 99% of movies.

Not kidding.

My husband jokes with me about it all the time.

4. Favorite childhood memory:

Whenever we'd come out of the bathtub, get all jammied up, and smelling all yummy--I remember my dad would smell our freshly washed hair and say, "Ohhh!

I wanna put it in a bottle and take it to work!" :)

I realize it sounds silly, but as a parent now, I find it so adorably sweet.

There is something about freshly bathed kids that's just so homey feeling.

5. Favorite candle scent:

I'm usually a vanilla'ish person.

Or pumpkin spice (around that time of year).

6. Favorite way to travel:

I love car rides with my husband.

However, adding a toddler to the mix changes thing.

I do get plane anxiety though.

So, I have to say--I'm sticking with the car.

7. Favorite Starbucks drink:

I'm not a big Starbucks gal (*don't stone me!*),

but I do splurge on a drink here and there.

I normally get a Soy Chai Latte, either iced or hot.

Both are delicious.

8. All time favorite meal:

Mexican food.

Abundance of chips and salsa.

Queso. Guacamole. Fajitas.

Lots of sour cream and shredded lettuce & cheeses.

That kind of thing.

Now I'm hungry.

9. If you could be on a reality show which one would you choose?:

I honestly think me and my sister would ROCK at Amazing Race.

Especially now since the two of us are so much more physically fit than before (and having lost a combined weight of 100+ pounds)---we could totally do it.

She is a world traveler already.

She is great with maps and directions.

I am good with challenges.

I'm fairly adventurous (to some degree).

Either way?

I think we would be awesome.

One day....one day.

10. A fun fact about you:

I am classic for buying something we need (for example, toddler toothpaste)...

and then putting it away, and forgetting I bought it---then re-purchasing.

Basically?

My organization skills in every area of life lack pretty hardcore.
