#AskAwayFriday #14

This is a weekly series post, that I am actually keeping up with, yay!  It's a fun way to get to know other bloggers, by exchanging enjoyable Q & A's, each week.  It is refreshing to know how we are all human and how we got here.  I have enjoyed meeting my girls, chatting it up daily or weekly, about something or nothing.  Join in the fun every Friday!

A big shout-out to Penny, The Real Housewive of Caroline County and Amber, The Bold Fab Mom   They are the ones that started this fun series! Go to their blogs and give them some love!

This week my partner in Q & A crime is, Stacey over at This Momma's Ramblings!  Be sure to check out her answers to my questions. Thanks Stacey, its been fun! 

Here we go now!

1. Who is someone in your life that has molded you into the woman that you are and why? I have to say, there has been more than one person.  My upbringing was more than interesting.  So I 'learned' very hard lessons through watching my parents friends, my grandmothers, and wanting to be a good person.  My father though, showed me love and caring, even though I spent less time with him after my parents divorce.  He taught me more than he realized, to have morals and values, and a gigantic heart.  

2. What do you think is the best thing about being a mom? Being lucky to be a mom, in the first place. Having a special relationship with my son.  I trust him more than I've ever trusted anyone, in my life.  Knowing true love through being a mother. Getting great big hugs and special letters from my son.  I could go on and on, haha.   

3. What is one piece of advice you would give to someone wanting to start a blog, about blogging? Ohhh, I'm probably the last person to give advice, ha.  I suppose I would say, have the patience to 'get there', wherever it is that you want to go with it.  Read, read and learn as much as you can, to get there. Don't let it overwhelm you.  

4. If I were to come and see you for a first time meeting, what would you plan for us to do? Oh would you?  Haha, we'd have a blast here.  There is my hometown, Lambertville NJ that I would take you. Hitting all the antiques and unique stores, the side street markets and BYOB restaurants. Walking over the Delaware River bridge, into New Hope PA. More cute stores, and definitely people watching.   

5. Have you ever had the chance to meet any of the blogging friends that you have made? No, not yet.  I really would like to put a luncheonette together to meet the local blogettes. How fun would that be!  

6. If you were given a million dollars to spend, what would you spend it on? First, buy my sister a bigger home for her family.  Then buy lots of property for two reasons; (1) for single moms and their children to build their life while someone trusts them to do so (2) shelters for dogs that are given up on or thrown to the curb, provide them their happiness without the worry of being killed for no good reason. 

7. How did you get started eating raw? And does your family eat raw with you? I was a vegetarian for a big part of my life and a period of chicken and fish.  After reading Skinny Bitch, and hearing so much about animals, etc., I couldn't bring myself to eat them.  So, I had to research the correct way of eating healthy. So happy I did!  

8. What was the most difficult post you have ever written? Wow, my first post.  I think.  Only because I didn't know where it would go from there.  I'm trying to pay attention to what/how I've gotten those that are faithful to me, to help others just starting out.  

9. What is your fondest dream that you have yet to accomplish? Blissful happiness.  I'm trying, because now is the time in my life to have it. It's time to be a little selfish :)

10. What movie would you watch over and over again? Any reason why? Love Actually.  Perfect holiday movie with fun and laughter and great love stories!
