so, i had this crazy idea!
(not really that crazy.)
asking some questions
of you!
yes, you!
i’ve done it before, but not real in depth.
so, let’s do it.
good?
i’ll answer too. to keep it real, ya know.
where you from?! where do you live now?
(i’m originally from south jersey (near philadelphia) and now boston-area!)
male/female? age?
(are there any male readers out there? show yourself! i’m 27. a girl. you knew that.)
how’d you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
(most blogs i discovered through random internet clicking. maybe that’s the same for you, but otherwise, give it up!)
what do you do? for work? for fun?
(i’m a stay-at-home mom these days but in the past i’ve worked at a law firm + retail. what i’d like to do is more telling: writing! photography!)
are you religious? atheist? something in between?
(i might say i’m religious but i’m afraid of the connotations that go with it. can i say spiritual without seeming too hippy? i believe in jesus. i believe in grace, forgiveness, and life after all of this.)
what’s your favorite song? band? book?
(i couldn’t even begin to answer this! but you all know i’m a fan of paul simon, james taylor, fleet foxes, ray lamontagne…and the like. first book i ever fell in love with was prince of tides, but i’ve fallen for a lot more since…)
what’s your favorite vacation spot?
(in the northeast? lake winnipesaukee. the beach. anywhere? i love santa barbara, i love italy, switzerland, israel. basically any place. send me.)
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
(this is really a question for you. but give it to me!)
are any of you famous?
(i just KNOW ryan gosling is reading my blog! show yourself, ryan!!!)
(oh! anonymous commenting allowed today. eesh.)

4)i price greeting cards. no kidding. it's quite the job.
5)somewhere in between. i believe in jesus but don't regularly attend church.
6) wonderwall by oasis. band would be dave matthews band or eve 6. book would be 1984.
7) outerbanks. specifically corolla, nc. we go every year and it's the perfect spot!
8)hm, recipes! your stuff always looks so good!
9) ryan, hit me up after you chat with bridget ::wink wink::
-I'm from a small town in central Canada and I currently live in Port Gentil, Gabon (West Africa) although not for much longer. In less than 2 weeks we'll be moving to Norway.
-I just turned 29 this past weekend (and I'm female with an ambiguous name!)
-I can't remember how I came across your blog…probably clicking around like you.
-I used to be a teacher but now I'm an expat housewife. When I'm not out having coffee or aperatifs, I'm reading, blogging, finding new music to listen to, hanging with the huz, researching our next trips.
-Not religious at all
-I could never pick a favorite song or band. I like so many things for different reasons. Currently, I love Angus & Julia Stone, Joshua Radin, The Paper Kites but I also love a little classic rock (anything from Pearl Jam to Led Zeppelin to the Beatles.)
-I love a vacation spot where the beaches are clean and beautiful, the ocean clear, the cocktails plenty and the weather hot. (Recently, we went to Mauritius and it was great however we're planning the Maldives and I think it will top all!)
-Just keep doin what you're doin.
-Definitely not famous although I'm sure Ryan G must frequent this space 😉
Good morning!
1.) I grew up in Connecticut, but parents moved to Ohio after HS, so now that's where I go when I'm going "home". Currently living in DC, but hopefully not for too much longer
2.) Female. 30.
3.) I can't remember, but it was before I had one and was just reading, and RIGHT before you had Parker.
4.) For work I'm a Conference planner (love!). Spare time I love to travel, play with my pups, read, cook, exercise and play games. The board kind, because I'm cool like that.
5.) Not at all religious, but still a good person – I promise! (many people think the two are mutually exclusive)
6.) Book – I'd have to go with Time Travlers Wife. Just don't judge it on the movie. I've read it so many times that the characters feel like old friends and I can pick it up and flip it open to any page and just get lost in their story.
7.) Through work I had the pleasure of staying at the Four Seasons on the Big Island and it was pure MAGIC I tell you. Too bad I can't afford it in my real life. (PS – I'm with you on 'anyplace' though)
8.) So, what pulled me into the blog, (pre-parker, as I said), was of course your love story. I loove seeing all the kids, but would love to hear more about Steve too ( you know, more "tales of {you} and the husband)
9.) Not ryan gosling. sorry to disappoint.
1) Originally from a city an hour outside Toronto, Have lived in Toronto 5 years, but at the end of the month, I'll be moving back. Extremely sad about this 🙁
2)Female; 24 (25 in a month!)
3) Hmm definitely can't remember how I found your blog.
4)Graduated a year ago, just quit Starbucks last week, and because I found no real career work in the year, that's why I'm leaving Toronto. Sigh.
5) Atheist
6)Favorite songs are Jason Castro-Somewhere over the rainbow (yeah, the american idol guy) and Hall & Oates-You make my dreams come true.
7) Well, I have to say NYC; I'm obsessed. Plus, I've never been anywhere hot, except for Florida a couple times when I was under 10.
8) Anything really. I like lifestyle blogs because I like to see snippets of peoples everyday lives.
9) Nope, definitely not famous and have no desire to be!

for now i am a freelance translator. i will be looking for a job in nova scotia. i was a poli sci major in college so anything goes! for fun, i love to travel, read and watch good and less good tv shows
5) are you religious? atheist? something in between?
i was raised atheist, but i am now definitely more agnostic, and somewhat spiritual
6) what's your favorite song? band? book?
i don't have a favorite song, i love music way too much. favorite band? i'd have to say fleetwood mac, maybe? and sting. and dolly parton. and so many more. i don't have a favorite book, either, since i love reading so much. some favorites include "into thin air", "the power of habits", anything by paul auster
7) what's your favorite vacation spot?
japan. and paris, cause, you know, it's my home.

I love Jesus. Jesus loves me (and you!).
You've got to be kidding. Favorite song…ever? Impossible! I love Brand New, Mumford & Sons, and Ben Howard the most. Since I love too many books to have an actual favorite, my childhood favorite (and still a great love of mine) is The Giver by Lois Lowry.

I work as a PA at an investment bank (to pay the bills) and write freelance for a teen mag in South Africa (for my soul and sanity)
are you religious? atheist? something in between?
Uuuummm, I believe there is a God and that he/she has saved my ass more than once. I haven’t been to church in yonks though. From time to time, I do get a small panic attack because I think I might get sent “down under” when I get to THE GATES.
what's your favorite song? band? book?
I really, REALLY like pop. Kylie, Britney (pre-freakout), Beyonce…) Don’t judge me. Books? Anything by Louise and Tilly Bagshawe, Sophie Kinsella, Lulu Taylor, Jessica Ruston, Jane green, Carmen Reid….My list is endless. Living in London means commuting by train/tram/tube about 2 hours a day so I go through novels pretty damn quickly.

I LOVE Italy, especially Rome and Tuscany. Istanbul is awesome too. London’s pretty great for travelling around Europe. I also love me some New Orleans. Deep fried oysters, hello?
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
Your clothes!

1. Originally from TX but in FL now.

3. I followed Hither & Thither, and either you or E guest posted last year around the time you were all having babies- I clicked around and now follow all three of you.

5. I'm with you on the religion/ spirituality!
6. Too many to name, but I must say that like you, I'm big on The Rhythm of the Saints. My dad bought it when I was a kid and my parents would blast it on their huge sound system whenever they had people over. It's still my jam(s)!

8. More Steve! And I love your food ideas!
9. Not Famous. I did meet Henry Winkler once while skiing in Santa Fe??

8. No. Not even close. Ha.
6.
From Philly, live in DC
Female, 28
I might have known about your blog before it was a blog, so yeah, a long time.
I work outside of my home. I enjoy road trips, the beach, spending time with family, and hosting dinners. Oh, and I am obsessed with shoes.
I currently am a member of a presbyterian church in DC, and that is where I feel at home. But I grew up in both the Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches, wandered into non-denominational, and settled with a mix of them all.
I am horrible at knowing stuff about music. If you like it, I probably do too. I love Jake Armerding and James Taylor – I gravitate towards slightly folksy male guitarists.
we go to Amelia Island in Florida every year and that is incredible, I also love Boca Grande in Florida. But My first choice is usually Avalon on the Jersey Shore (the good part)
More Marianne – health tips that aren't just great recipes (but those are good too)
of course, duh. (but not really)
Fun reading yours & everyone else's answers 🙂
1. I'm from Georgia but now live in California (SF area).
2. Girl, 30.
3. I discovered your blog through my lifelong friend, the beautiful Lesley Graham!
4. I work in Education for the nonprofit division of McSweeney's books. In short.
5. I basically believe in exactly how you answered this question about religion.
6. Favorite song: Nightswimming by REM. Book is too hard! I went to school for English & Creative Writing. I love A Prayer for Owen Meany, A Confederacy of Dunces, Li-Young Lee's poems, Anais Nin, etc etc.
7. The most fun/relaxing vacation I've taken was to Cabo San Lucas. I've been twice and both times were amazing. But I love to travel and will go anywhere.
8. I always struggle with these questions! I'll let you know if I think of anything.
9. Can't wait to read Ryan's comment. 🙂

2. Female. 25.

4. Job = marketing director for a salon chain. For FUN I love beign outside with my fiance and adorable puppygirl, she's the sweetest. We visit family a lot, build forts when it rains…
5. I am, but not to any particular religion. I grew up going to a lot of different churches with a lot of different friends, and I can really appreciate the good in religions, as well as see the bad. But I do think faith in something is very important. As long as it's main theology is "GOOD", it almost doesn't matter WHAT you have faith in.
6. Song = right now? Alone by Heart. SUCH an "epic" song to sing to in the car!! Band = Dispatch. Book = Anything by Phillippa Greggory.
7. Vaca spot in Northeast: THE CAPE. Chatham, Ogonquit or Falmouth. Anywhere? Gee, I haven't been too many places yet – St. John in the US Virgin Islands!

3. I discovered your blog because of your add in Jenny's blog Story of my life. I've been following you since I read your love story a summer ago.
4. I'm studying Cinema & Communication, but I have no idea what I want to do in the future. Become a writer maybe? Who knows, I'm still young.
5. I've been atheist all my life, but I'm questioning things right now. So, I guess something in between.
6. I couldn't choose a favorite song, but the versions of Landslide of Stacey Kent is definetely one of my favourites! Band: Jack and White. Book: Tender is the night by F.S. Fitzgerald
7. I've lived in an island practically all my life, and it's a beautiful vacation spot. But If I had to go on vacation, I would choose some european capital like Stockholm or London.
8. I like the blog just the way it is!
9. Not famous for now, maybe someday.
I am from Northern Jersey. Have been most of my 49 years. Lived in Long Island for 7. Stay at home Mom for FOREVER. I found your blog thru another blog. I don't remember which one. I am Catholic. Favorite vacation spots: Hawaii and Colorado.

5) How about we say that I am not actively involved currently, but that doesn't mean I am really something in between either…
6) I like reading in general (so, choosing a favorite is tough). I like singer/songwriters, but beyond that I would have a tough time choosing a favorite.

I'm Ashley. I'm originally from Louisiana but now I live in Virginia. I've been reading your blog since around the time you announced you were pregnant. I was pregnant at the time, as well, so I just kept reading! I found your blog because your love story was on like another blog's guest post or something around Valentine's Day I think.
Funny story, when I started reading your blog I was living in Israel working at a school. One day I was hanging out with another American who was serving there, too, and we were talking about marriage. She mentioned something one of her professors in college used to say about marriage, and then she told me his story. I was like "this sounds just like this blog I just started reading" so I told her about it. Turns out she went to school with you and was talking about your husband. I thought it was random to start reading a blog, then meet someone who knew the blogger while living in another country. Small world I guess.
1) north alabama / south alabama near the florida line
2) female / 29
3) saw your comment on Across the Pond once and thought it was funny so I clicked and have been reading ever since!

4. I work as a cancer research tech at a hospital, but I am starting medical school in 1.5 months (reason for the move to South Florida). For fun? Read, hang with friends, EAT.
5. I'm not super religious. I went to church as a child, but I'm more indifferent now than anything.
6. My favorite song currently is Little Talks by Of Monsters And Men. My favorite song of all time is probably Red, Red Wine by Neil Diamond. Love me some Neil! I like ALL kinds of music and listen to just about everything. Current Favorite book is The Fault in Our Stars.

4. I work for a community college, primarily as an English instructor. But I wish I was a housewife because I love cooking and fixing up our house!
5. I'm spiritual, too. My husband and I started attending a Quaker meeting last year; there, you sit in silence for an hour and commune with God. It's beautiful and forces you to truly stop.
6. Gosh, I don't know what my favorite song is, but my favorite band is probably Kings of Leon. I like lots of different music from Patsy Cline to Florence + the Machine. I'm an English instructor, so I have lots of favorite books. You should check out The Mercy of Thin Air by Ronlyn Domingue–so beautiful!

Im a stay at home mom to a 4, 3, 2 and 1 yr old. We are foster parents and have a blend of adopted and bio kids with no thoughts to stop growing our family! I love kids and would love to move abroad and start an orphanage.

I love visiting CA anywhere but I spent 5 summers in Haiti and it has the most beautiful beaches.

5) Raised as a lazy Christmas Catholic… but my husband is Episcopalian and our goal is to get involved with a church soon.
6) I LOVE any an all David Bowie. I walked down the aisle to his song "Absolute Beginners." Also, love the Pixies and the Stones.
7) Harbour Island, Bahamas is one of my fave places on earth.
Stone Harbor, NJ (where I've spent every summer of my life!) will always have a special place in my heart. I love visiting New Orleans and Ireland. Any place with culture and friendly people.
Whoopsy daisy! Clicked before I finished!
8) I love your analysis on Emily and her quest for love. Also, posts about family.
9) No Gosling here…

2. I'm female and I'm 25!
3. It seems like I read your "love story" on somebody's blog but I don't remember which! I loved it so much I checked out your blog and started following you. I think I've been following for 6 months or so.
4. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 6 years but I recently started working again – I'm a deli girl at Wal-Mart. For fun I like to explore downtown with my family, read, play piano & write songs, sing and watch movies!
5. I'm a Christian!
6. No idea on favorite song – too many! I love The Killers, Coldplay, Foster the People, Needtobreathe, and Keane. I love any book by Stephen King but especially Duma Key, I love the Twilight series and of course The Hunger Games!
7. Gulf Shores, AL is my favorite vacation spot. Beautiful and so many memories there!

Hey there!
1) born and raised in Uptown New Orleans. Lived in Huntington Beach, CA for about 7 years and met my husband. We recently moved to Salt Lake City, UT.
2) female, 30
3) i think you actually might have commented on my blog about 2 years ago on my daughter Pearce's nursery. You were so nice and friendly, I checked out your blog, and have been following (mostly quietly) ever since! 🙂
4) I've been a stay-at-home mom for the past 2 years. But before that I was an Interactive/Strategy Manager at various ad agencies in Orange County, CA for about 7 years. for fun, I love cooking, photography, sewing dresses for my little 2 year old, and a bit of quilting.
5) I am religious/spiritual. (LDS) It's what helps out the most during difficult times.
6) I'm not a big reader. But I do love some good country music. Love Jason Aldean. And still give nod to my NOLA upbringing and love the classic New Orleans rap from my middle school and high shcool days. (504 boyz, ca$h money records, hahahhaa)
7) KAUAI. but i still do love visiting home (new orleans) – feels like vacation to me. one of the coolest cities in my opinion. 🙂
8) I thought your vlog was adorable. And i love your recipes here and there.
choW!
where you from?! where do you live now?
– I was born in Wichita, Kansas and I have never left! 🙂
male/female? age?
– Female/48…can't believe it!
how'd you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
– I, honestly, do not remember! I have read for a long time and LOVE your LOVE story, your healthy-food choices, the way you jumped in and made a family and Parker. I was hooked after I read the LOVE STORY!
what do you do? for work? for fun?
– Before children – I was a teacher. After children – a mom and I feel like God placed me on this earth to be a mother. 🙂 I love it.
are you religious? atheist? something in between?
– I am a Christian. 🙂
what's your favorite song? band? book?
– Love James Taylor and Amy Grant/Book – I have a stack by my bed and love to read!
what's your favorite vacation spot?
– The Colorado Rockies
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
– You are doing a great job — just keep doin' what you're doin'!
are any of you famous?
– Nope 🙂
1. From St. Paul, MN… currently live in a neighboring suburb
2. female, 25
3. you won a giveaway or did a guest post somewhere… and then I got sucked in by the love story. I'd say it's been about a year? maybe a bit more.
4. I just graduated from law school and am studying for the bar exam right now. SO, hopefully by October I'll be a lawyer! For fun… I love to DIY: furniture, art, anything.
5. I attended catholic school K-12, but I'd say currently I'm more "spiritual" than structured.
6. hmm of ALL time?? I'd say Look After You by the Fray is a song that has always called to me. The Fray is up there for band, otherwise Eric Church, but I'm not too loyal or obssessed with any one band. Books… hmm… so many. Was an English major in undergrad. I'd say the Harry Potter series pulled me in the most though in recent memory.
7. I haven't vacationed much.. but I've been to Naples a few times. Love it there. Lived in Malta for 6 weeks a few years ago.. loved that dose of Europe. Dying to get to Italy and Greece. Maybe the honeymoon.. 😉
8. hmm, I like the content now I suppose. Maybe more steve? he intrigues me. haha.
9. nope. not famous.
1. I'm also from South Jersey right outside of Philly.. Right near Medford
2. Female, 21
3. Random clicking- maybe from Megan's blog? I've been a reader for about a year and a half
4. I'm a phd student- eek. For fun I read crappy contemporary romance novels. Yes, 50 shades of gray plus others.
5. I'm agnostic by belief, Jewish by heritage. I think I more believe in a greater good and being a positive citizen than God and Jesus.
6. Oh lord. I can't even begin to answer favorite song, there are way too many. Favorite book, though, is a tie between Pillars of the Earth and World Without End by Ken Follett.
7. Anywhere that I dont have to pay for a beach tag! I lived in Italy, so Capri and Sorrento have special places in my heart. Also, LBI and sea isle city, and ocean city for the boardwalk.
8. Because I struggle with this, I'd love to see more on your feelings toward faith vs. organized religion.
9. I wish 🙁
and by Naples, I mean Florida (sadly) and not Italy. haha
I'm in the Naples, FL area. 🙂
1. from ontario, canada, still live here (though have lived in other provinces in the meantime!)
2. 29 next week, female
3. I don't remember! probably through another blog.
4. i work for the federal government as a policy analyst, and soon i'll be on mat leave with my first babe!
5. not super religious, but i do believe in god, and i'm catholic
6. books, i would say anything Emily Giffin, but i love tons of stuff, song, One by U2 and Mary J Blige (weird eh, but i love it, and it's the first song that came to my mind)…i also love country music!
7. hawaii, but i'd go anywhere and probably love it.
8. don't know! okay how about baby parenting tips!
9. not so much!
This is so much fun!!
1. I am from the absolute OTHER side of MA (Pittsfield!) before moving to Maryland about 10 years ago! But I'm still a huge Boston/New England fan!
2. Female, duh 🙂 Just turned 21!
3. Long-term reader (maybe like year and a half now!) I think I found you through random clicking and then stuck around because of your adorable baby posts!
4. I am a student going to school for theatre right now (but working as a waitress this summer). Of course I do theatre for fun but I also love reading, computer-stuff and hanging out with my friends. You know, normal college kid stuff 🙂
5. I am not religious at all! I don't really know how to define myself and I'm still trying to figure out what I believe in. I once read a quote from Brad Pitt that said "I am 70% atheist and 30% agnostic" (or something like that) and I love to define myself that way because it's so true!
6. My favorite song is "Losing Your Memory" by Ryan Star – it's based off of my favorite movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and that's how I found it. However, the song got me through a horrible break-up so it means a lot to me now – strength, forgiveness, happiness, sadness, etc.
My favorite book is "The Time Traveler's Wife" – it's hard to pick but that one is definitely the one. I love the way they love each other and it's something that I aspire to one day – to love a man so unselflessly like that, regardless of his issues.
7. I haven't really gotten around yet to tell you where I like to vacation! I've only ever been to MD's Ocean City and Myrtle Beach – haven't even been to Disney World! When I go to Disney (one day, soon!) I'm sure that will win. And don't even get me started on how much I'll love Europe or any sort of Island area. But, for now, I love Myrtle Beach. That's where my grandmother lives and my family goes every year. It holds so many special memories for me.
8. I like what you got! Maybe more of you & your husband? (Just a suggestion – you aren't lacking in the you & your husband posts at all, promise!)
9. I wish! If this acting thing goes right, you never know! (Though I don't truly hope to be famous – that would be a hard burden!)
Sorry that was so wordy!

5. religious – Mormon, actually
6. favorite song? i will follow you into the dark by death cab for cutie. favorite band? depends on my mood but regulars are frank sintra, the beatles, the format and snow patrol. favorite book? too many to choose but love the belgariad series by david eddings, pride and prejudice and of course, harry potter
7. i love your essays, but understand that you can't always write super meaningful posts. that would prob get pretty heavy, haha
8. my mom thinks i'm famous 🙂
forgot my fav vacation spot – outer banks, nc.
Awesome idea 🙂

5. I was raised Catholic and am now married to Catholic. So I guess you could say I am "religious"…
6. Oh my gosh! I can't even begin to answer this question…I love all kinds of music and LOVE books and reading. It's one of my favorite things to do!
7. I grew up going to Cape Cod every summer. I haven't been back in years, but I would have to say that is one of my all-time favorites. Also, Napa Valley/San Francisco area..loved it! I have dreams of traveling to Bali…someday…
8. I, of course, love reading all about the daily goings-on of your family and newest addition. Maybe more baby gear reviews? Since I have a little one on the way, I am always interested in what other people consider to be their must-haves for baby. Really, though, I just enjoy your blog for what is…honest and entertaining!
9. Not famous 🙂
Hi, Bridget!
1) I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago and still live here. I'd love to live in Colorado, Arizona or somewhere else out west someday. Now I just need to convince the fiance …
2) Female – 26
3) A friend of mine told me about your blog over a year ago and I've since become hooked. Thank you for being so rad.
4) For work I'm a communications manager at a nonprofit organization. I've been feeling like a cadged animal sitting behind my computer all day and long to be free and to move. Someday …
For fun I MOVE, blog, eat, exercise, laugh, spend time with the future Mr., read, craft, andddd do things not behind a desk.
5) I'm spiritual. I think organized religion is a great thing for a lot of people but it's just not for me.
6) Favorite song? Please don't make me choose. I'm a music junkie and I just can't. Bands I'm loving at the moment: The Hundred in the Hand, The XX, Bad Veins, The Temper Trap, Band of Horses .. the list goes on and on. Book? Oh boy – just like music I also love myself some good books. I can't pick – currently I'm enjoying the Hunger Games series.
7) Anywhere with a beach. Hawaii was beautiful. I love Colorado and would live there in a second. Visiting my parents in Arizona is always a good time and judge if you must but I love Disney World.
8) I think you're doing a great job of keeping content balanced and interesting. I'd like to see more recipes and health/nutrition, outfit posts, Parker (duh) and I did really enjoy when your mom was guest posting 🙂
9) I was told while growing up I should be an actress becuase I'm so damn dramatic (how DARE they!) but of course I didn't listen so sadly, I am not. Perhaps in another life.
Hi Bridget,

– I don't know how i discovered your blog!? But i love it.
– At the Moment i am a student at the University of Cologne. After this i will become a teacher.

– No, not famous. But working on it ;-)!

For fun I like running, yoga, painting, biking..just started taking rock climbing classes which may be a new hobby for me!
5. I'm not religious, maybe more spiritual? I'm still a bit confused on the whole thing, but I've been trying to explore it more recently.

2. I'm 25!
Thought I'd finish the question 🙂
where you from?! where do you live now?
born and raised in New Jersey- have gravitated from north to south over the years.
male/female? age?
lady – 27. I turn 28 the day before you do, scorpio sista.
how'd you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
found your blog when you guest posted on a friend's blog. been reading since 2010.
what do you do? for work? for fun?
I'm a meeting planner for an educational company, which pays the bills – but I'm a writer by trade. I'm finishing my second novel and planning on self-publishing it at the end of the summer.
are you religious? atheist? something in between?
I was born and married Catholic, but I like to believe I'm more spiritual than I am religious. I believe there is something beyond this world that is greater than me that has my back.
what's your favorite song? band? book?
song – Africa by Toto. Don't laugh – that song turns a bad day into a good one almost immediately.
band – can't pick a favorite; music is my love language!! Mumford and Sons and Gotye are some of my favorites these days.
book – again, hard to pick one and I have several faves that I treat like a security blanket but to narrow it down to two: To Kill a Mockingbird and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.
what's your favorite vacation spot?
Santa Barbara, CA and Mexico.
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
I love your honest posts and find them to be so refreshing in a sea of blogs that only document the good parts of their days. I'd like seeing more of them. Also, I love seeing Parker's sweet face, but I wouldn't mind knowing more about Nathaniel and Jordan and understanding your relationship with them a little better.
are any of you famous?
no – but i hope one day I can do something that's worth being remembered.
1) NY!! Hudson Valley area — totally gorgeous!
2) female – 20.
3) from a friend of a friend of a friend of a…you get it…who said I had to check it out. They were totally right. You're fantastic!
4) Well, I was raised to be religious but I'm in that whole "what-does-religion (God)-really-look-like" outside of the whole indoctrination thing. Too deep? My bad.
5) Song = too many to choose from. I like things with a good beat that are fun to sing along to. Band = right now, I love Lady Antebellum. Totally mainstream but I love them. Book (childhood) = anything by Andrew Clements and anything about civil right (loved "Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry). Book (now) = Bloom, by Kelle Hampton was great. And I'm a huge fan of anything by Jodi Picoult.
6) Thousand Islands, NY. My family has had a waterfront cottage for years and years and the place is just wonderful!
7) Just keep doing what you're doing! But, I'd love to hear more about your interactions with the the 4 older kids. Just think it'd be interesting!
8) Ha. Far from it.

I am currently in school and waiting tables. For fun, I like to play with my nieces and nephews, read, watch movies…
I was raised Mormon, and technically still am. I'm kind of in an in between phase, deciding what I want to do. I still believe, but am not very good about going to church every week!
Hard to pick….I love Simon & Garfunkel! But I also love anything country and pretty much anything else. I'm not picky. Books? too many to choose…
I went to Grand Cayman last year and loved it. But I'd have to say anywhere thats warm and has a pool/beach, I'm good.

Female. 26.
I have been reading for a few months and randomly stumbled upon your love story, but cant remember how?
I am an office manager and mommy 🙂
definitely a Christian, but the kind that believe that being so means loving and accepting those who are different from me.
WILL HOGE. seriously, google him. easy on the eyes too….favorite book is always evolving, but i just read Rebecca Wolfe's Rockabye and loved it.
Greece was the most beautiful place I have ever been and when I need a boost of confidence, I think of myself there. everyone's prettier in Greece.

1. I am from North Florida

8.Recipes, I love your recipes.
9. I am distantly related to Johnny Cash, so no.
7.
What a good idea – I found some fellow Canadians by browsing the comments!
1. I'm living in the suburbs just outside of Toronto, ONTARIO. Was born here and lived back and forth between Toronto and northern Ontario on the Native reserve where half my family is from.
2. Female, 22
3. Discovered you through random clicking I think, and I have been following since you were about 20 weeks pregnant. How long is that?? Haha.
4. I'm a SAHM that is into reading, writing, photography, sewing, and graphics.
5. I'm a Christian! Although currently not the best one.

4.I work for a tech company specializing in the wedding industry (sounds strange, I know) and I LOVE it! For fun I love playing with interior design, graphic design, typography. Lately I've become obsessed with kayaking and paddle boarding. And I lovee to read (ideally outside with a chilly glass of wine and my dog at my feet, don't mind if I do)
5. I'm Episcopalian but I'd consider myself more "spiritual" than "religious" I guess…whatever that means.
6. Ohh my gosh. Wellll. I love Crosby, Stills, & Nash; The Eagles; Tom Petty; Bruce Springsteen. Allman Brothers, Paul Simon, Boston, .38 Special. Kings of Leon, Mumford & Sons, Cold War Kids, Fleet Foxes. Really everything, though. Lately I'm loving The Lumineers. I can't answer this question! Book-wise I have many favorites but some tops are The Poisonwood Bible, Unbroken, Great Gatsby, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

I love Colorado and Utah, summer or winter – both are heaven there. Kiawah Island. I'm dying to go to Italy – ALL of it. OK that's probably enough.
8.It's pretty perfect. I wish you could post 10x a day…but I guess you have a life.

Fun!
I'm from NC, but I live in CT now. My husband's in the Navy, which is what brought us up here.
Female, age 25. But I'll be 26 next Monday!
I think I found your blog through Take Heart's love story series a while back.
I stay at home with my 8-month old boy, Jack. I do a little of a lot for fun: writing, decorating, reading, being in the sunshine as much as possible.
I'm a Christian, but I'm with you – the connotations of that give me the heebies. I just love Jesus and want to be someone that he would like.
That favorite music/book question always makes my head explode. There are so many choices!
Favorite vacation spot: I love the NC beaches. So beautiful.
More on the blog? I love your honest posts about relationships, parenting, etc. That's my favorite from any blog, really.
I'm not famous. Yet.
I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC; I now live just outside Raleigh in a town called Morrisville.
Female, 26.
I'm a pretty new reader; I read your love story a while ago, but didn't start regularly reading your blog until last month-ish, when you left a comment on mine.
I'm a stay-at-home mom also; I've never had a career job, but I did some work as a blog designer for a while until I got too busy. I'd love to have more time for writing, and for learning about interesting things like graphic design, calligraphy and sewing.
I'm Mormon, and very happily so. I sometimes wonder what people think when they hear that, but I consider myself a Christian and do my best to act that way.
Wow, this is a tough question. I love Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac and Coldplay. I usually say my favorite book is The Chosen, but I also love Watership Down, Little Women, and Catch 22.
I love vacationing in NC, either at the coast {I can't wait until I have time to visit the beach again!} or the mountains, which are gorgeous. We used to visit both every summer, and I miss them.
I feel like I'm still getting to know your blog, so I have no idea what to ask of you, and even if I did, no right to ask it yet.

8. I like your recipes and stories of those kids!
9. Not yet. When I win the lottery I will become famous for continuing to teach. And I will also open a flower shop called The Kitty's Litter.

Love me some music! Books? Lord Of The Rings was the first book I read and loved when I was eleven. Favorite book now? Jane Eyre.
~Disneyland. No joke. Happiest place on earth, and full of the greatest memories with my family. But Germany, DC, Whistler, NY, and Powell are all other favorites. I'll go anywhere. I'm dying to go somewhere!
~Love posts about your whole family the most. Oh, and The Bachelorette of course.
Hope somebody famous posts today. 🙂
Here we go…maybe you'll get to comment 66 by the end of the week:).
From all over, mainly grew up in DC and Michigan. Currently in IDAHO, country living…land of the free:).
Female, 32.
Found you by a lucky click of the mouse. Reading a few months…you had me at "…high-fructose corn syrup vomited on my kitchen table…" That was awesome.

Famous? Nope…unless you count the time I was the featured cook in our small town newspaper…THAT'S celebrity:).
p.s. fun idea, getting to know your readers. happy reading.
I love this 🙂
1) I'm from San Diego, and now living in Santa Barbara.
2) I'm a 22 (almost 23!) yr old gal.

9) Definitely not famous, who knows, maybe one day!
– born in VA, but grew up on the gulf coast of FL in St. Pete where I still live.
– 34 y/o female
– I don't remember how I came across your blog, but I love reading it.
– I'm a Sr. Sales Rep in the technology industry (10+ Yrs). For fun my hubs & I travel, read, listen to music, kayak, boat, beach it and hang out in our pool w/ our pup.
– more spiritual than religious
– It would be impossible for me to pick a favorite band and/or song. I listen to way to much music & at any time my favorites vary. Ditto on the books since I read a rididculous amount (already 55+ books this year !)
– I love a great beach vacation, but I could never narrow it down to one favorite. My hubs & I frequent the FL Keys, and I also love all of the countries in Europe I've been to. Of course I can't leave outthe Central American coutries I've visited either. Each place I've been I've loved something about it, the uniqueness that comes with each new place always shines through to make it a favorite!
– not sure what I'd want to see more of, I like to read your blog as it is.
– nope, not famous.
1)Cleveland, Ohio (suburb just south of it). Currently live in Dayton, Ohio.
2) Female and 27. We're the same age! LOL
3) New (like the last day or two, LOL) and found you from Twitter because one of the other mommy bloggers I follow, follows you and I got interested.
4)SAHM is my "job." Also, what is fun? 😛 I used to work on my novel all the time and try to when I have enough brain energy.
5) I love Jesus. That's pretty much all there is to it!
6)Not sure I have a favorite song; it changes. Same thing for band, although I love Skillet and Red. Also love J-Pop (Japanese pop) and classical. Yeah I am eclectic like that.
I have lots of favorite books: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan ranks up there as well as the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. Historical fiction is my passion.
7)Haven't been many places but have to say Emerald Isle/Crystal Coast of North Carolina. Divine.
8)I'm a new reader so I don't really know…
9)Not famous but I know a pitcher of the Cleveland Indians, Justin Masterson. My husband grew up with him and his dad was the pastor of our church for 20 something years.
1. Born in England, live in the Boston area since I was 5 though, so I'd say I'm from here?
2. Female. 20.
3. I actually discovered it through a friend at school. We go to the same college you met your husband at.. so if you ever go there and feel stared at, its probably because 98% of the girl population there reads your blog and feels like they've just seen a celebrity. Sorry if we creep you out. I've been following your blog for over a year!
4. Besides being a student, I bartend. For fun, anything outdoors please.
5. I think my answer for this question would match yours.
6. Song – If I Die Young Band- Coldplay Book- Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin
7. Cancun, Cancun, Cancun. I would live there. BUT! I'm dying to travel Europe, from there and have hardly traveled any of those countries.
8. Besides your pictures of Parker looking at Steve playing the guitar? (my heart melted at those pictures.) …maybe guest posts? Thats how I usually find new blogs because are just too many!
9. Not famous.

male/female? age?
25 and a girl.
how'd you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
long time reader, discovered your blog through our friendship on Facebook, ha!

i believe in jesus, more spiritual than religious.

ah geez – that question is too hard. i love james taylor, frank sinatra, kindlewood, coldplay, sara groves, etc. i don't have a favorite, but i love the book eat, pray, love.
what's your favorite vacation spot?
napa, california!
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
i love your videos! and i love your health posts!
are any of you famous?
ha! someday i will be.
1) I'm from northern California – I'm talking about where the ocean meets the California/Oregon border. But I currently live in the bay area (San Jose/Santa Cruz).
2) Female – 26 years young
3) I found you through Reagan's blob maybe a year ago.

6) So many choices! I could listen to the oldies station all day!
7) Trinity Lake, CA
8) I feel like I can somewhat relate to you in regards to your love story. I would like to hear more about your relationship with Steve. Also, just the day to day posts are fun. From a big family myself – there's always some family excitement going on 🙂
9) Not famous – but my family is close friends with famous jazz pianist, Dave Brubeck! Does that count?? He and my Grandma even dated in college!
I'm a 27 year old female Oregonian, born and raised. My current city of choice is rural Canby, but grew up in Boring (yes, it's really a town and yesssss it was really boring).
Like some other readers, I discovered your blog from E Tells Tales. Orrrr may it was the other way around (?)
My boring PT job is for the State of Oregon's Liquor Control Commission, but my degree is in Fine Arts, specifically graphic design. My fun FT job is being a doting mama to an almost 6 month old little girl named Claire.
Considering I went to a private Christian school almost my whole life, I would say I'm religious. I'm a church-going, Jesus-loving believer.
Favorite musician/band? Impossible,especially after the invention of Pandora 🙂 I listen to a good mix of the old, the new, Christian contemporary and even a little country here and there. Book? Definitely My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.
Maui is currently my destination of choice although the Hubbs and I have our eyes on Spain (I've never been). I'd also love to go back to Italy one day.
As a new mama, I would appreciate you sharing more about the things you couldn't live without with a new baby around.
Me, famous? Only to my baby girl when singing her to sleep. She is my audience and her chair my stage.
—where you from?! where do you live now?
I was born in Germany, had a little bit of my childhood in California, but am now a forever Colorado resident.
—male/female? age?
23, femme.
—how'd you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
I can't EXACTLY remember how I came across your blog, but it was through someone else's blog or some link. It was talking about your love story, so I had to click and find out. It lead me here. I've been a reader since…. about six months before you knew you were pregnant with Parker.
—what do you do? for work? for fun?
I work at a high end sushi restaurant for the moneys. For the funnies? Read, write, organize and then reorganize.
—are you religious? atheist? something in between?
The older I get the more I think I believe in something… I'm just not sure what it is. There's definitely something though.
—what's your favorite song? band? book?
Comin' Home by City and Colour is my favorite song today. It changes all the freaking time. I believe you would like him. Oh his voice kills me. Just. Kills. Me. City and Colour could be a favorite band. With The Black Keys, Florence + The Machine, and name it and I probably like it. Book; The Song of Fire and Ice (Game of Thrones) saga hands down. The imagination you are forced to exhibit is… unbelievable. And when discussing the book with other, everyone imagines the person, place or thing differently, but the same way you do. Ahh, its incredible. Those books and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruis Zafon. Please read them.
—what's your favorite vacation spot?
My vacations are spend back on the other side of the state at 'home' which is perfect. Or San Diego. I'll be taking a vacation to Scotland this fall. 🙂
—what would you like to see more of on the blog?
Consistency. A good ratio to pictures, it keeps people visually interested and mentally stimulated. Wordy is nice every now and then if its important, but pictures with words are proven to keep people around. And you love photography so we should see more!
—are any of you famous?
I will be one day in the eyes of the person that I love.
California!
Female.
28.
Long time reader? Yes, I think.
I'm a dancer.
Religious. Mormon. So religious it would make your head spin.

5 :: we'll say spiritual. i believe there is a heaven and a greater power but i don't think that power is a 'person' per say, more of a presence or state of mind (or soul really).
6 :: too many songs to list. i like carrie underwood and songs that are easy to sing along to. in high school i really liked dashboard confessional and something corporate.
7 :: when i was a kid we went to a place called Raystown Lake in PA and that was fun. Pontooning out on the lake all day.
8 :: i'd like to hear more about your thoughts on parenting and how you're raising your children so well. they all seem like really great kids and it just seems tough these days to keep them grounded and out of trouble. how do you do it? 🙂
9 :: nope!
This is fun! Are you trying to compile your reader demographics? (haha!)
1. I was born/raised in Atlanta, GA. I live in North Yorkshire, England now.
2. Female, 29 years old.
3. I think through Megan's blog, or maybe E Tells Tales, or something. I've been reading for a couple of months.
4. I live in England! I have a super boring part-time job, but mostly I walk my dogs, sightsee, and shoot pictures. My degree is in photography, but I made attempts to get paid for it in a while.
5. Not religious. I'm rather indifferent on a higher being (God? Zeus? Osiris?) but I definitely do not believe in any afterlife.
6. "Nightswimming" by R.E.M., R.E.M., Lolita by Nabokov
7. Oh, wow… we've done a lot of traveling since moving to England, and it's only made me want to travel more- I'm the same as you- I'll go anywhere! But where I online faux-househunt constantly? Moray Firth, Scotland.
8. I think you've got a good mix of stuff going on- one of the few truly "life" blogs I've seen. I like how you've got it. Sorry to not be any help!
9. Yeah… not unless you ask my boy (dog). He thinks I'm the bee's knees.
ARGH. I *haven't* made attempts to get paid for photography in a while.
I'm not sure that I've commented before but I love your blog and this just seems fun:)
1. I'm from and still live in the south!

8. I love reading all things mom and kiddos since I am a mom and have kiddos, it's what I love to relate to.
9. Not famous sorry!
Hi! I'm from radnor, pa (near philly!) and go to college in chicago!
female aged 20
i discovered your blog on casey wiegand's blog! i've been reading since the beginning of this year and was hooked from the start!
i'm a senior in college, but currently have a marketing internship at a pharma company. hope to be in advertising or public relations. i sing professionally with my twin sister in my free time! we have done the national anthem at professional sports games like the red sox, celtics, and miami dolphins!
i grew up in a catholic family but as i've gotten older i feel i've become more spiratual rather than religious. i believe i don't necessarily need a church to feel God's presence in my life, and I experience His grace through my family, friends, travel, etc.
my favorite band is coldplay. their cds have been playing in my house (or car) since i was little and has gotten me through the highs and lows of my life. my sister and i cover many of their songs for performances!
i studied abroad this year in rome and london so i traveled all over the world over the last 9 months! my favorite vacation spot is st. barths but the country that transformed my life was italy. also my family's beach house on long beach island (nj!)
i like your blog the way it is, but maybe more posts on fashion?
not famous, but my sister and i have our music on youtube and its gotten quite a few hits 🙂
i love your blog! i feel like i relate to you because my family didn't have the most traditional start as we're a blended family with lots of weird twists and turns, but i like how you own it and reinforce that all families are the same really if they're full of love!
This is fun!
1) Texas…originally Houston, then East Texas, Waco (Baylor for undergrad), commuting to Fort Worth for school. So…Texas.
2) Female. 25 in t-minus 17 days. I don't wanna talk about it.
3) I cannot remember…I'm sure clicking around.
4) I'm in PA school (like, Physician Assistant…not Pennsylvania). For fun: reading, baking, running (jk, that last one's not fun but I try to tell myself it is so I keep doing it).
5) Raised charismatic/nondenominational. Always gone to church, just recently trying to figure out what that really means. But my husband's a professional Christian so I get into Heaven by default, right??

8. I really enjoy your blog entries that are simply about being a mom.

Hi Bridget! I've never commented before but I love that you wanted to get to know your readers.
where you from?!
North Florida
male/female? age?
A lady of 32 years.
how'd you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
I've been reading since your pregnancy. I think I read a comment of yours on another blog and clicked?
what do you do? for work? for fun?
I have the best job in the world as a stay at home mom! I love yoga, running, interior decorating and just hanging with the fam.
are you religious? atheist? something in between?
Total spiritual hippie!
what's your favorite song? band? book?
Tom Petty is my main man. LOVE. I couldn't pick a favorite song! I love to read so picking a favorite book is soooo hard! The Shadow of the Wind really could be it, though.
what's your favorite vacation spot?
I haven't vacationed nearly enough to answer this! But, living in Florida is like a permenant vacation. Beaches, cities, country life, it's all here.
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
I really enjoy what you've got going already. 🙂
are any of you famous?
Not this lady!
1. I was born and partially raised in NY then moved to Orlando, FL. I went to school and now live in Central Texas.
2. I'm a little lady of 23.
3. I forget how I found your blog. Random internet clicking maybe. When I saw you live in MA, I was hooked…I love and dream of New England.
4. I recently finished grad school and am desperately looking for a job in the social services field. This whole stay at home wife thing could grow on me though especially if we had kiddos.
5. I love Jesus
6. Favorite song would have to be "Home" by Edward Sharpe. Favorite band would have to be The Civil Wars.
7. My ideal vacation would be in the mountains/country. Oh and anywhere with snow because I love snow.
8. I'd love to hear more about what you cook! I have a feeling you have some great recipes you've been hiding.
where you from?! where do you live now?
I am from the Boston-area and, for a great change of scenery, I live in…the Boston-area
male/female? age?
Female. 29.
how'd you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
I have been reading since you were pregnant with Parker. I think I found you by random internet clicking.
what do you do? for work? for fun?
I am partially a stay-at-home-mom and partially a massage therapist. I work about 16 hours a week. Fun time is filled with family, being near water, hiking, exercise, and more family.
are you religious? atheist? something in between?
i like to say that I am more spiritual than religious, but I fear that I sound pretentious. I was raised Catholic and now we attend a U.U. church. I carry a lot of core Catholic beliefs (in God, Jesus, Mary, etc), while having a much more open, liberal viewpoint on love, forgiveness, sin, etc. I believe in heaven but I am not sure how I feel about hell.
what's your favorite song? band? book?
DMB's #41 was always my favorite song as a teenager and I always still think it is, though I have gone long periods of time without listening to it. I guess it is a favorite because it takes me back to a person I used to be. No favorite band…I like songs much more than I like bands. "Summer Sisters" is always one of my favorite books. And, I adore "Drinking: A Love Story" by Caroline Knapp even though it is an odd book to have as a favorite.
what's your favorite vacation spot?
anywhere near the water. Hilton Head growing up. Prince Edward Island.
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
I always love pictures, small anecdotes about family life, recipes, and marriage talk.
are any of you famous?

-21 year old woman over here. woo woo.
-long time-ish reader. probs about a year before you found out about parker? i don't remember. i think i found you through a sassy comment on E Tells tales
-i graduated college in May with a BA in Psych and am currently unemployed. woo! thankfully, this means i have all the free time in the world to plan my wedding that's a month from wednesday.i want to be a RD at a college for a few years and then own an ice cream shop 🙂 and for fun, i love to read and ride my bike and make paper crafts, like scrapbooking, but cooler. ha.
-i love my Jesus and everything he taught, but i hate the church. and the connotations that go with being a "Christian" too. so i'll say i'm a Christian, but cringe a little bit. which is awful, in my opinion!
-oh jeez. i can tell you that right now, my favorite song is "Nothing Was Stolen" by Phosphorescent and my favorite book is The History of Love. but for all time, i have no clue.
-i lived in the south of France last summer for 2 months and LOVED that. so i'd go there again probably. but my family goes to bible camp every summer and that place has become a second home. i love it.
-i love your little mix. i wouldn't mind more lovey posts, just cause i love love. ha. also, recipes! you make good, healthy stuff and i need to learn these kinds of things if i'm gonna be a wife soon.
-not famous. but i wish i was just so i could have someone do my hair every day. and so i had endless money for clothes shopping!
#1 From: Rhode Island Now: Colorado; Israel next month!

#3: I think Jenna? Facebook? Both.
#4: I work in enrollment at a high school, but I used to work at a Jewish non-profit – that was sort of my dream job.
#5: Non-denom Christian; my husband says we're "Charistmatic with seatbelts"
#6: I am not a big music person, I just like almost anything. Summer comes and I wander into country music. My first real book love was A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and I am currently reading the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks- which I'm diggin.

– I am originally from Orange County, NY but now reside in Albany, NY.

Hi Bridget, I'm Kylie!
1) I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona, and now I live in Utah during the school year and Arizona during the summer. I'm totally in love with my hometown!
2) I'm female and I'm 19.
3) I honestly don't remember how I discovered your blog. Random internet clicking for sure, but I don't know specifically where from. Now it has become one of my very favorites to read!
4) For work: I'm currently studying to be an elementary school teacher, so my main job is a student. But since I'm not taking classes this summer, I'm working in a pediatric therapy facility with several clients who have severe autism. I also nanny part time and tutor kids K-12 in math. For fun: I'm pretty easily entertained as long as I'm with my friends. We're really big on card games and watching movies these days. Also, I love to cook, read, and blog. (www.kyliesmiles.blogspot.com)
5) I am LDS (or Mormon) and I would definitely say that I'm religious. I consider myself a pretty open-minded Mormon. The foundation of my belief is in Jesus Christ and His sacrificing atonement for my sins.
6) I can't even pick a favorite genre of music, let alone a favorite song! I grew up on country music, but I've more recently broadened my horizons to other things. I like Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, FUN, Jack's Mannequin, The Rocket Summer, Jason Mraz, anything from Broadway, anything vocal jazz, and a whole lot more. I'm not really picky on my music. I don't think I could pick a favorite book either, but a few favorites are Ella Enchanted (which I've read every year since the 4th grade), Ender's Game, and Harry Potter.
7) I love driving to the beach in Southern California and maybe hitting up Disneyland while I'm there since it's only 6 hours from my house. I actually think that's the only vacation I've done more than once. Last summer I went to Costa Rica, Bulgaria, and New York though, and I would love to visit more places on the east coast someday. I'm also dying to go to Seattle and Portland, but my college student budget is holding me back!
8) Honestly, this is one of the only blogs that I've followed consistently for a long time. I'd say I've been reading for about two years probably, and I just love the way you run things around here! Your family is adorable, and I love all the stories about your precious kiddos.
9) I am not even remotely famous. Haha! The only things I could ever be famous for are blogging and singing, and I'm not good enough at either of those things to gain attention from anyone of note. But who wants to be famous anyways??
Thanks for the interviews, Bridget! I enjoyed it. 🙂

I'm a Christian- no affiliation.

I’m from Argentina, live in Central California now.
Female, 32 years old!
I discover your blog by googling for women that were due around the same time I was (I had my baby June 25th )
I work at an insurance agency part-time and spend the rest of the day with my beautiful daughters. I also like photography and I’m working on a bachelors degree
I’m a baha’i (www.bahai.org)
favorite song changes all the time, but somehow all I can think about right now are my kids favorite songs! my favorite books are “The number one lady’s detective agency” series.
favorite vacation spot? Costa Rica, Israel, Vanuatu… anywhere without a lot of tourists.
I love your blog, I can’t think of anything I’d like to change (not very helpful, sorry!)
I’m not famous!! 😉
i am originally from a small town outside of Minneapolis, MN, but am currently living in LA
female. 22.
i think i was intrigued by a guest post you left that mentioned you had 5 kids! i had to learn more!
i work for a huge marketing company in LA, but for fun, i love to go hiking, head to the beach, read, and just spend some time outside!
i think i am something in between. i am not entirely sure where i fall. i believe in a higher power.
'dancing in the moodlight' has been my favorite song for years! band i would say maroon 5 or train. book- every book in the harry potter series. nothing can beat them.
australia was a pretty incredible vacation. but i absolutely love heading up to my cabin in north eastern wisconsin. living in LA is kind of like a vacation in itself. there are so many places to escape to, even if just for a day or weekend.
i'd like to hear more about what you do when you take some time to yourself! what are your relationships like with your girlfriends after gaining a family upon getting married? do you still have time for girls nights?

Normally I'm the creeper reader, who reads and never comments, but I figured I could help you out today.
I was born and raised in central Montana, left for a few years to go to school in Iowa, and have since taken up residence in Bozeman, MT, and I don't know if I'll ever leave. (Trust me. I live in paradise).
Female. But you probably figured that out from my name. I've never met a male Sarah. I'm almost 30 but we're not going to talk about that.
I honestly can't remember how I found your blog. I think it was random clicking or a sponsored post, or guest post or something. Probably about a year ago.
I work in an athletic department as an academic coordinator, and I love it. It's perfect for me. But when I'm not working, I love getting out and about around Bozeman. Wandering downtown, going hiking, or skiing in the winter.
Born and raised Catholic, and still practice but there are definitely things I don't agree with that the church wants me to follow. But God and I are tight. We talk a lot.
blink-182 is my all time favorite band. But I love all music. I have lots of favorite books but Pride and Prejudice and I am Charlotte Simmmons may be my fave favorites.
My favorite place to vacation is anywhere new. I love seeing and exploring new places. When you live in a destination place, you can't really top that so it's always fun to go somewhere else and explore.
So that's me. Thanks for writing, and giving me something to read in the mornings when I don't really want to do any work.
i read your blog a lot but rarely comment, this might be a nice wee get to know one of your readers –

3.I discovered your blog through another blog. Like those days when someone links you or you guest posted somewhere, I forget.
4.I am a 6th grade Science teacher at Hiatt Middle School in Des Moines. I'll be starting my 10 year this fall. GASP! But, I get to take off three months to spend with my first baby that I'll be having in late fall. OH JOY!..so they'll be a long-term sub in my classroom. ugh!
5.I am a Christian.
6. Fav song/band/book? This is always tough for me. I do love R&B, but I also love acoustic/indie music too. I love all kinds of novels. I can never pick a favorite, but I do love Picoult & Kingsolver.
7.Fav vacay spot is anywhere w/my husband. Is that cheesy? Cut me a break, today we celebrated our one year anniversary. 🙂 I do love love Southern California!!
8.About your blog. I do love so much about it. I get excited when I see a new post from you. Is that creepy? Oh well. I've mostly loved reading about the baby stuff. With this being my first lil nugget, I have loved reading your past posts about pregnancy and now reading about the joys of his day to day. I also appreciate the step-parent/child stuff b/c I also have stepchildren and I wonder about how my love will be different for them than for my own little grasshopper.
Last question: famous? I mentioned I'm a teacher, so I'm not famous but I am really important. *wink Im changin' lives and touching hearts. Who needs fame?
How fun that you asked all these questions to learn more about your readers. Be well~cindy
Ooo what a fun idea!!
where you from?! where do you live now?
I grew up on a farm and ranch in eastern New Mexico, went to college at Oklahoma State (Go Cowboys!), moved back to New Mexico for law school, lived a summer during that time in San Francisco, and am now back practicing in NM!
male/female? age?
I'm a female (are there male blog readers??) and 28. 🙂
how'd you discover my blog? long-time reader? new?
My friend Amy read your lovestory and sent it on to me. I was hooked! Been reading since about the time you got pregnant with Parker!
what do you do? for work? for fun?
I'm an attorney at a civil litigation firm. It's far less exciting than one would expect.
are you religious? atheist? something in between?
I'm a Christian.
what's your favorite song? band? book?
Oh this is hard….I think if I Had to pick one song, I'd choose "Feet Don't Touch the Ground" by Stoney Larue. I don't know if I can pick just one book! I loved "The Help." Also loved "The Luckiest Man" by Johnathan Eig.
what's your favorite vacation spot?
Switzerland. A tiny village along Lake Geneva called Cully. It's amazing. In the US–San Francisco for sure!
what would you like to see more of on the blog?
I love all your posts! I'd like to hear more about balancing your time and how you get things done with all the kiddos–I can hardly take care of myself!
are any of you famous?
Sigh. Sadly no. But if I meet either Ryan, I'll introduce you!
1. Southern CA – Grew up in San Dimas, where Bill & Ted had their excellent adventure, college in Orange County, and currently in the So Cal version of Wine Country.

5. I was raised Catholic. 12 years of Catholic school. Within the last two years I have parted ways with my faith. I wouldn't say I'm an atheist, but after a lot of studying I do not believe that the Bible holds any sort of truth. I do believe in the power of prayer though, and that positive energies can be transferred.
6. Favorite Song – New Slang by The Shins
Favorite Band – how do I pick just one? No Doubt will forever be a fave, they remind me of my youth. I am in love with Regina Spektor at the moment, cannot get enough. Favorite Book – again how do I pick? Call me a nerd, but I think the Harry Potter books are some of the best I've ever read.
7. My favorite vacation spot is Hawaii! I got engaged on the Big Island, married on Kauai and honeymooned on both. Can't wait to take my whole brood someday.
8. Keep doing what you're doing!
9. Not at all, though my 7 year old thought I was because I was in a band in college and we recorded a CD. Hated to burst her bubble, but loved that she thought that would make me famous.
I love this!
1.I'm originally from Lancaster, PA but now live in the Salt Lake area.
2. Female. 20.
3.I discovered your blog when you left a comment on my blog. I believe you found me through one of Mormon in Manhattan's Bachelorette posts. I fell in love with your blog right away!
4.I'm a full time art student. Part time receptionist. I'm a photography junky and I cook/ bake way too much.
5. I am LDS.
6. My all time favorite song (lie I have 3 that share the spot for number 1) Willie Nelson's Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground, Billie Holiday's I'll Be Seeing You and Earth, Wind and Fire's September. Favorite band is also tied- I just really love music. But I'm a freak for Coldplay and Radiohead. Right now my favorite book is Divergent.
7. I love anywhere.
8. I love everything about your blog, the cute pics of your cute family, and your quirky, hilarious, and real writing! I love it. I want to be friends with you in real life that's how much I dig your blog!

4. I am LDS. Very religious. Mormon.org 🙂
5. Too many favorites. Favorite song right now would be Fly Over States–Jason Aldean, but if you would have asked me last month I would have said Lose Yourself–Eminem. I love all types of music. Favorite band–Green Day, Florence and the Machine, Ingrid, Sara Barelleis, Garth Brooks. Book–Harry Potter 1-7, Tipping Point, Anna Karenina, Rebecca, so so many more.
6. This will probably change in a year but I love Lake Powell. It is truly breathtaking–the rock skylines are incredible.
7. It's perfect.
8. Nope. Not famous.
from: your favorite place, sb. you visited me there. we drank wine. live: seattle
sex: female age: 26
discovered: through an email in 2009 where you said you were going to start a blog.

fave vaca spot: kaui. hands down.
more on the blog: your bod. clothed or not…just kidding. steve. that's all i ever want from your blog.
famous: two words: katy perry.
Sara. 25. Portland, Oregon (you know, where the dream of the nineties is alive). I found you through Megan. I started to read Megan's blog because we look alike, so she's like a live mannequin for clothes that I want.
I go to law school. It sucks.
I have a 4 year old daughter, because I got married when I was nineteen and then had crazy hippie love with my husband. But she's cool, so all is good. I go to church every Sunday, mostly because I'm afraid if I don't God will bitch slap me when I die. I even go to mid-week meetings and make scarves and stuff to give to homeless people… because I'm sure my bright blue homemade scarf is just what they want. Whatever. I made it bright blue so I can spot the homeless person it went to. Kind of like a ghetto "Where's Waldo". That may be insensitive.
I like the song Hoo Ha Henry by Fight Like Apes and love to vacation by the beach.
And would it be pervy of me to ask for more Steve? It's probably pervy. But more Steve!
My life would be awesome if I was famous… I'm not

Hello
I am from Turkey. Currently living in Izmir where I was born.
Female, 31 years old.Newly-wed 🙂
I am a long time reader. I don't remember how I discovered your blog but I should say,the time I did you were pregnant:)
I am a muslim.I am not really into that religious stuff,I just believe in God.To me that's the only thing that matters.
I can not name just only one song, there are toooo many.Just a few maybe; Viva La vida, Somewhere over the rainbow, June Night.Coldplay and Frank Sinatra, I love them both. Book?? Mostly Turkish writers.
I love Italy.Rome is probably the most beautiful city in the world.Istanbul is the other for me. When you talk about vacation, I should definetely mention Capri, our honeymoon spot 🙂
I like your blog as it is. I am sure that what you do at home with the kids and the house are really hardwork but you seem to do it so naturally without any extra thinking.Also I like the way you dress.Not to mention; your little boy is soooo cute 🙂
I am not famous, nooo unfortunately not :((
I was born in Scotland, but now I live in New Zealand.
I'm a girl and 31!
I found it when on Etellstales – I liked your writing style and then found your love story which I really liked (second chances and all that – I'm glad there are there for us both!)
I'm an industrial electrician! Bit diffrent but I LOVE it – I work in printing at the moment which is fun.
I believe in doing good, doing your best and watching out for others – I find religous hard to connect with.
I'm a pop addict – I love gaga, nukes ect! I'm dyslexic so reading is not my thing but I do like to read with no time pressure.
I love seeing the local contryside here in NZ.
I enjoy your blog, would like more of the same. your Family life is real!
Born and raised in Lier, Belgium; still living there now, love it here. the country is so small you can get anywhere and everywhere in max 2 hours
Female, 29 years young
I found your blog through E Tells Talls somewhere last November or December, have been reading it ever since.
I work full time as a broker / chartering manager, and love to relax with my family (husband and 1 year old son) and friends. reading, watching movies and travelling are some of my favourite things to do.
I wouldn't say I'm religious, but I am not an atheist either. I believe that there are things that we cannot explain, and and I believe that people can find comfort in faith, but I do not believe in the Catholic church and all of it's rules and regulations. I believe in love, doing good and equality.
My favourite song changes about every other day, at the moment it is "Silenced by the Night" by Keane. U2 also ranks high in my list, but I am also a sucker for commercial pop / dancve / r&b muisic. Favourite book is Beach Music by Pat Conroiy (love Prince of Tides as well)
Paris and the South of France. Have seen quite a bit of the world, we honeymooned in Bali, which was absolute heaven,but there is nothing like spending a week in the Provence or at the Côte d'Azur
just keep writing as you did before, however the Bachelor / Bachelorette items are a tad difficult to follow when the program is not aired in your country…
Am I famous? Not even in the slightest…Infamous maybe if you were to ask my husband….
Hi! Im Sarah Jane.. Oh! that wasnt a question!!

i'm a 30 year old female
i am really not sure how i found your blog but i read your love story the first time i visited and i was hooked. been loyal ever since.
i work in fund raising for a national non-profit that does financial literacy and entrepreneurship programs in schools. i work from home a lot so i may or may not read your blog at work….i also work part time as a youth minister at a local church and i would love to do that full time
i feel like i have to say i'm religious bc i work at a church but really i feel the same way about you as far as the connotations go…i'm a theology buff and have a masters in religion so i feel like i'm a very 'thinking' christian if that makes sense….i'll say this – i believe in jesus and that gospel of love extends to everyone everywhere…(that was WAY too long of an answer)
this one is nearly impossible – i'm loving jack johnson (tis the season) and chatam county line and avett brothers these days and ben folds (i secretly want to be best friends with ben folds…) and to kill a mockingbird is an all time favorite read
i love your volgs 🙂 i'd love to see more of those – i also like your recipes…good eats at your house it seems..
ok that's it…sorry my answers were so insanely long and sorry i'm not famous (not even a little bit)
forgot one!

Once my dad met Dave Coulier at a bar (yeah full house) and he did his Bullwinkle impression for him. Cool.
1) I am from Coeur d'Alene Idaho, and have lived in Bakersfield California for almost 3 years.
male/female? age?
2) Female, 24
3) Been reading about a year (when I first found your blog I back read for a looooong time because I loved your blog so much) I found your blog I believe from E tells Tales, but I am not sure now, it may have been from the stylish housewife but I am not sure anymore.
4) I am a graphic designer for a promotional items company. I get to be creative sometimes but a lot of it is business cards and tshirt designs. I enjoy running (just did an olympic length duathlon this past weekend!) And I love reading, and socializing 🙂
5) I am religious, I wasn't raised that way. My dad grew up in the Lutheran Church and went to private school and my mom was more "spiritual" and was raised in an atheist upbringing, the decided that they wanted us to "find ourselves" and not force it on us, I like that in the sense I know that it was my choice and not some sort of learned behavior, though now being Christian and wanting to have my own children I know that I want them to know the love of Jesus from the very start. My mom is now christian too, after I found myself in Christ she started to come to church with me in high school and nothing makes me happier!
6) Such a hard one! I love Sara Bareilles and anyone that style! But I also like country music (I did grow up in Idaho 🙂
7) I haven't traveled much, which I would like to more. I love going back home in the summer, because I am so homesick for a Northwest summer time!
8) I love how you do the blog now! I love your "digging deep" ones where you share something that you have been thinking about.
I spelled Kauai wrong. Just thought that needed to be corrected publicly.
1) Katy, Texas (a little west of Houston)
2)Female, 21
3) I think I saw a picture of you on pinterest when you were doing your pregnancy journal, and I followed it here.

6) bah. I love Appalachian Journey as my pick-me-up CD. And Anna Karenina for a book.
7)I LOVE Ft. Pickens in Florida. Also Scotland.
8) I don't know… I think it's a good balance of everything.
9) Not famous- sorry!
More house posts please!

1. I grew up near Yosemite, now live near San Francisco.
2. Female, 29.
3. A friend sent me the link. My best friend of 27 years passed away last summer. She found out the day she went into labor with her first child that she had a very rare and aggressive form of leukemia. She was in and out of comas for 4 months before passing away. Three months later, her husband was engaged, and a few months after that, married. My friend thought it might be good for me to see things from the other person's perspective. (Not that I was bitter with the husband…. I was very glad that he wasn't depressed, and that the baby would have a mommy…. but it was still hard.) I've come to your blog on and off for, I dunno, about 4 months or so. I think my friend found your blog through random internet clicking.
4. Teacher for smart-ass middle schoolers, which works out perfectly, since I'm a smart-ass too!!! I love it!
5. I'm a Christian.
6. Favorite song is connected to my favorite musical, which isn't really a band and isn't what you're looking for, but I'm obsessed with Les Miserables. However, I do also like Flobots, Weezer, etc.
7. I guess France would be my favorite vacay spot, but mostly because I used to live there. I loooove all of Europe!
8. I've mostly only read some recipes you've posted, bachelorette recaps, and all the stuff about how you and Steve became you and Steve. I guess I haven't really seen how the older two kids are handling life? I seem to see things about the younger two and Parker, but not the other two. Maybe for good reason, though. Maybe it's none of my freaking business!
9. Yes I am famous, which is why I must remain anonymous.
1) born in Ohio, raised in Georgia. Still living in ATL but hoping not forever
2) female, 35
3) discovered you through Casey Weigand's blog when you did a guest post on your love story. I was immediately hooked! Been reading for a few months now and you crack me up! 😉
4) I currently am a clinical instructor for nursing students at a local university. I'm also working on my PhD in nursing and hope to work as a professor someday. For fun, I enjoy working out, reading, tennis, playing w the kids and perusing pinterest!
5) I am a God fearing Christian and just work every day to be a better person that lives a life that pleases the Lord.
6) Love a little bit of everything–country, pop, hip hop, Christian music. Right now on Pandora I am listen to a lot of sara bareilles, Amos lee, ray lamontange, Tracy chapman, damien rice, third day and casting crowns. Favorite book: anything by Jennifer weiner
7) any place at the beach or skiing
8) love the blog!!

I decided to answer them in a blog post myself. If you want to have a little read, you can find it here http://lisatravers.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/who-i-am-wednesday-little-info.html
Hello!! I love this!! (Who doesn't love talking about themselves though, right? ;p)
– where you from?! where do you live now?
I'm originally from New Zealand, but currently living in Australia! Here for a wee while, then back to NZ for a bit before heading onto the US of A (at least that's the plan)
– male/female? age?
Female, 21
– how'd you discover my blog?
I think random clicking? If I remember correctly, I saw a picture of you that said Mum of 5 somewhere and I was like, "how!? She looks my age!!" so I did some more clicking and became hooked for life!!!
– what do you do? for work? for fun?
I'm technically a student…but I kinda jumped on a plane to follow this funny Boy I love, and now work in travel. But I plan to finish my degree next year (in the US)
– are you religious? atheist? something in between?
I am religious…but not in the traditional, follow the Bible to the letter kinda way. I love God, I like going to Church, and I pray every night, but I do have some little theories of my own.
– what's your favorite song? band? book?
Such a toughy! 'Haven't met you yet" by Buble and 'Forever' by Chris Brown…and perhaps "call me maybe"…maybe? Anything Frank Sinatra or DeanO!! Not a huge band person. And Peter Pan for the book!
– what's your favorite vacation spot?
Probably Kinloch, Lake Taupo or Lake Tarawera in NZ. The Boy's families have a couple of holiday homes, and those two places are truely magical.
– what would you like to see more of on the blog?
I love what you do already!!
– are any of you famous?
Well, I did present a small time tv show for a few months in NZ last year!! But by small time, I mean almost non-existent, as in you had to have 'rabbit ears' on your tv to get it!
What a fun idea, Bridget! Thanks!!

1) From Indiana, currently live in the upstate of South Carolina, but I'm moving to Missouri at the end of the summer
2) Female, 31
3) I honestly don't remember. I think you posted your love story somewhere and I've been following you since??
4) for work–academic advisor at a university. for fun–hang out with my husband, love to eat out, travel, cook-out, hang out with friends (lots of music around a fire type of stuff), pet my big, fluffy, dog, drink wine and eat cheese 🙂
5) Christian
6) way too many! Some all-time favs: Murder in the City (Avett Bros), Johnny B. Goode, any Beach Boys, the Dance (Garth Brooks), pretty much all Zac Brown Band. I currently listen to Avett Bros and Zac Brown Band a lot. Same with books-I LOVE to read, preferably historical fiction. I'm obsessed with british history.
7) Anywhere. I love the beach and went to the Outer Banks last year which might top the list. Love to go anywhere historical in Europe as well(I love Cinque Terre and England the most)
8) anything. love your sense of humor.
9) ha, no way
Ok…
1. I'm from Northern Virginia (just a couple of miles from DC), and now I live in Oxford, United Kingdom – 8 years!
2. Female, 31.
3. Discovered you by blog-surfing. I found Megan's and then found yours.
4. I run a study abroad program for a university in Texas….so I get to bring all sorts of bright young things over to the UK to see the big, wide world. And I teach history. For fun, my husband and I love cycling and I love ballet.
5. Yes, I am a Christian.
6. No idea about the song….but I love U2, Bob Marley, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, Paul McCartney…. As for books, big fan of mysteries but my tastes are pretty diverse. I'm currently reading The Hunger Games and Rhodesians Never Die. Good stuff

8. Hmmmm…more about healthy living.
9. Nope, I'm not famous. 🙂

2. Female, 28 as of Monday.
3. I'm pretty sure I somehow stumbled upon your blog a couple of years ago through a mutual westmont or gordon connection and have been reading ever since, though (not sure why!) I've never been much of a blog commenter. But I've kind of always had a friend crush on you, and this is a fun idea, so hello!
4. I love boats, the beach, cooking, drinking wine, reading. I've recently finished my masters in marriage and family therapy and was working as a therapist at an inpatient eating disorder treatment program…right now I'm looking for any job in my field that might get me back to SB. That, or, I'll be chucking it all and moving to Europe immediately.
5. Yes, I'm a Christian, but not super religious. I believe in love, and grace.
6. Van Morrison, Paul Simon, Fleet Foxes, The Eagles, James Taylor, Bon Iver. I'll read anything you put in front of me, though I suppose I must confess an embarrassing weak spot for some good cheesy chick lit. Nothing like a good beach read.
7. Italy, Paris, Caribbean (just returned from Grand Cayman and honestly considered not getting back on the plane!) and I can't wait to get myself to Ireland or the Greek Islands. Or to Portugal or Australia.
8. Whatever you want. I just appreciate your honest perspective on life. And your bachelorette recaps that usually mirror EXACTLY what I'm thinking.
9. Nope.
Hi! There sure are lots of comments on here already, but I thought I'd add my piece.
I'm originally from Winnipeg (Canada) but have lived in Atlanta for the past 10 years. I'm a gal, age 21.

I'm a student of Interior Design and I also have an Internship and a job (one pays and the other does not!). I like to run, read and do the usual things people like for fun.
As far as religion I'm "somewhere in between," although I was raised Catholic. Fave song is something either dance-y or indie-y, haha. And I'd love to go on a vacation anywhere but so far I liked France the best.

Vacation- I just like to travel to new places. My favorite US spots have been Glacier National Park, New Orleans, Savannah. Outside of US- France, Morocco, Spain
Blog- during the school year I don't get an opportunity to read your blog often, but I enjoy it all.
I was on the local news last week….does that count? I presented at a literacy conference and a camera crew came to tape some of it. One of my best friends is also an editor at Rolling Stone, which I think is awesome!
I'm a girl, 27, living on an island in the pacific northwest.
I started reading a couple of years ago (found through Jora maybe?) and was shocked how similar certain aspects of our lives were, our complicated love stories, and then we were both pregnant at the same time and our babies were born just a day apart!
I'm a cartographer/GIS analyst, but currently on leave to be home with my daughter. I love doing anything creative, getting lost on the internet, and if I could travel ALL the time, I would.
I'm definitely spiritual, like you. This is, of course, is a much bigger topic.
Okay, I love music and books, but I can't ever pick favorites. I'll just leave it at that. I love to immerse myself in music – playing piano, singing crazy camp songs, whatever gets me inside of it.
My dad grew up spending summers at lake winnipesaukee, so I love to hear you talk about it. I love travel of any kind. Beach. Kauai. Australia is great. Love Amsterdam, Paris, London. Can't top Provence and the south of France. Vancouver, BC or the San Juans for a quick trip. Anything in the woods/mountains of the northwest. Camping. Also kind of crazy about the magic of Disneyland. I'll go anywhere.
Of course, I love to hear about your adventures with Parker because he's the same age as my daughter. But just keep up what your doing. It's good stuff.
