Okay, so seriously are we already half way through November? I can’t deal anymore, time is flying way too fast for me. Is everyone planning out Thanksgiving meals and doing their 30 Days of Thankful? I literally almost just skipped Thanksgiving yesterday and went straight into putting up the Christmas tree!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with #AskAwayFriday it’s an amazing way to meet new bloggers, make friends and ask some questions to get to know them better! 10 questions are exchanged and answered on your partners blog, you can get as creative as you want and even get into our purses!
As always, tried and true we have the partners in crime, the ladies who created #AskAwayFriday…the wonderful Penny from The Real Housewife of Caroline County and Amber from Bold Fab Mom!!
Our co-hosts for the month of November are amazing so check them out!
Dean aka Mrs_AOK is pretty freaking amazing! She’s been apart of #AskAwayFriday as long as it’s been around I believe, which is pretty impressive! She’s become a great friend to me and the other ladies involved in #AskAwayFriday each week and I’m super excited she’s moving to the East Coast!
Next up is the wonderful Ophelia from LatinaMamaRama, we’ve really enjoyed her joining in on #AskAwayFriday, she always has some really insightful and beautiful things to say!
And last, but certainly not least is Sarah from Lomholt’s Family…she’s a really great gal from Iowa and I really enjoy our little chats, she’s become a good friend and a friendly face each week on #AskAwayFriday! She’s always up for exchanging with anyone and so friendly!

This week I have the absolute good fortune to swap Q&A’s with Gracielle from Mommy A-Z.
If you don’t know this sweet lady yet, please go check out her about page {trust me it’s one of the best abouts ever!} and make sure you follow her on Twitter.
I ‘met’ Gracielle via Twitter– I believe through the #SITSSharefest, which is where I’ve ‘met’ many of my bloggy friends 🙂 #SITSstahs
* Hit-up the Dollar Tree!
Thankfully, we have movers! If the movers lost my family pictures, photo albums, or scrapbook or my computer which holds tons of family memories– there would be HELL TO PAY!
However, we are road tripping to South Carolina- only taking what we need right away when we get there! I know, crazy but we love our smushy-face furbaby, so we have decided to drive to our new home.
If I forgot to pack my iPad, iPhone, or a couple framed photos I would be sad 🙁
Should I go pageant-style?
Of course, I always wish for world peace and no more violence… {No really I do.. I’ve blogged about it}
However, I’m just hoping for a nice Christmas for the kiddos.
This will be their first Christmas in a new place, we’ll be living in corporate housing without all our belongings, and special Christmas trinkets…
Hmm…
I think for my situation it was easy at first. The girls would spend time playing peacefully, and helping me.
Now, that the kids are getting older, sometimes it seems a bit harder; only because I want to give all three of them attention.
Oh and more thing… when three kiddos get together, and as much as they can love and be kind to one another; the fighting…. ack! I could do without all the fighting!!
Yikes, I still don’t know if I would consider myself blog-success-advice-worthy…
I think for me it’s building bonds and making sure to nourish those bonds.
* Bonus advice from a not-so-big-time-blogger:Be YOU! Authentic you… no need to change up who you are for the sake of your blog…
This blog is powered by love from my friends, readers, and supporters. I keep this blog going for them + the sanity I get here… it’s my place to store the randoms in my head 🙂
9. I know you’re a #PSLGangsta, but what is your favorite holiday Starbucks beverage?
I love a good soy Caramel Bruelee Latte!
Also, Starbucks has a Thanksgiving blend– that I’ve been brewing here at home and I LOVE IT!!
