You asked, I answer!

Awhile back, I had blogged a Q&A. I was curious if YOU were curious about anything. In the midst on my daughter turning one, it was put on the back burner. I finally have a moment though, so here we go!

Gwenn S. asked-
I'm curious about what you did before becoming a mama. Did you work or go to school? Did you always know you would stay at home with your little lovebug? :)

Before Lovebug was born, I was attending school to get a degree in business. I was also working at a call center up until I found out I was pregnant. I had always known I wanted to be a stay at home Mom, but I didn't know if it was something we could afford.
At one point in my pregnancy, I asked my husband about staying home. He laughed and said about money, and we never talked about it again, I just stayed home :)

Kayce Pearson asked-
How did you get into the reviews and giveaways blog type?

Spring of last year I got more into twitter, and I saw that people were offering giveaways on their blog! I was very interested and started entering them.
After awhile, I thought, I could do this. I love writing and giving my opinion on products. Since we don't have a lot of money, and a lot of families are cutting back, I wanted to give honest real opinions on products. I hate nothing more than spending money on something that doesn't work well or could have been done another way. I don't want another Mom to have to do that!

fancygrlnancy asked-
How does your typical day look? I would love to stay home with my little man and possibly do a blog, but we can't afford it. What do you do in a day?
Also, what was your favorite reviewed item? and What was your favorite giveaway?

We are pretty laid back here. We'll get up anywhere around 8-9 am. Diaper change and breakfast follow immediately. After which is play time, and flash cards. We are trying to work on objects, colors, animals, etc.
Lovebug will get a snack around noon and *hopefully* go down for a nap around 12:30. After lunch is another diaper change, small snack and more play time! If I have to run errands, we do it after her first nap. Dinner is around 7, when hubby gets home, then bath and bed by 10 :)
Any time that Lovebug is sleeping, I'm either cleaning or blogging!

It's so hard to pick a favorite. I loved the Chicks-n-Chickens giveaway! And anything related to babywearing or cloth diapering was great, too!

Brie H asked-
What are your favorite movies?

Oh gosh, I really have a ton of favorites! I think P.S. I love you is pretty good. I am a big fan of anything Gerard Butler though. Put anything with him in it in front of me, and I'll be good!

LuvnLife00 asked-
i have to say, I love your blog. It is one of my favorites. Do you remember what your first giveaway was? Did you pitch to them or did they contact you?

Thank you! My first giveaway was from Rebecca, an Arbonne Consultant. I had actually won a few things from her on another blog, and asked if she might like to do a giveaway on my blog as well! A big thank you to Rebecca for helping to get me started :)

Owen's Mom asked-
What is your favorite snack/food to nibble on while you blog or tweet. I know you gotta eat! :)
Also, what was the first review you read or giveaway you won?

I LOVE to eat :) I won't lie about that! I love Beef Jerkey, and fruit! Not at the same time :) But you can find either one at my desk if I'm here!
The very first giveaway that I won, was a Plush Bad from Ah Goo Baby on the Things Moms Like blog! I tweeted every chance I could for that one, and I still use it in our diaper bag!
