1. What is one thing you have too many of in your house?

Too many toys.  I swear… they multiply exponentially when I am not looking.  I keep saying I am going to weed some out, but I never have the time.  Or energy.  

2. Did anything go not quite as planned on your wedding day?

LOL!  Funny you should ask… NOTHING went as planned.  From my caterer having his gallbladder removed during emergency surgery, to our rings not arriving, to our videographer having to cancel because his brother’s kids were brought to him by CPS, to dropping my veil in the mud, to my hair stylist not showing up for the appointment because she was drunk, to showing up at the church 10 minutes before I was to walk down the aisle, to a drunk lady I didn’t know cutting my cake-licking her fingers-and then touching the cake, to my photographer going blind (really!) right after my wedding, to my dad walking me down the aisle with his zipper down… Read the whole story here.

3. What is your favorite summer smoothie recipe?

Any that someone else makes.

4. What is the weather like where you are?

Freaking hot.  Freaking humid.

5. What is your favorite books to read to your kids?

When You Give A Mouse A Cookie.  I do voices and everything.  We also like Alexander and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
