1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?

I started blogging in September 2011.  

I had always wanted to venture into the world of "blogging" because it sounded cool, 

and once I made the choice to stay home and be a full time housewife, and not teach any more,

I couldn't think of a better timing. I loved reading food blogs, and then I quickly became interested in fashion, and then even more intrigued by real life, every day women who are just doing the best they can do, whatever it is they're doing.  I love seeing how other women juggle kids, a husband, a home, cooking healthy meals for their families, and still find the time for themselves, stay in shape & be happy. Even my husband has told me that since blogging, I have become a better person. I attribute it to, connecting with amazing women who are positive and truly lift each other up when we're down, and cheer us on when we're doing well.

I love my bloggy friends!!

I think my blog continues to evolve, as I as a person change. Being pregnant with my first child, I am venturing into the 'mommy blogs' and just appreciate all the support and wisdom from other women (moms or not!).
2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study?

I went to SUNY Fredonia for four years, graduated in 2003 with my degree in Secondary Education in English. I am certified grades 7-12.

I then went to SUNY Brockport and received my masters in Education.

I taught for 8 years, loved it for the most part, and was ready to stay home and take care of my family.
