It’s Friday, and time to shed the spotlight on another great mom. This week’s mom is Rebecca, a fellow mom blogger who is quickly becoming one of my favorite twitter friends. We’re across the country, and yet I know that if we were closer, we’d hang out. I love finding “friends” all over the country. Connecting to others is a powerful thing….we learn, we grow, we accept differences and find commonalities. We are all in this together as mothers. I hope you will all check out Rebecca’s blog over at : Confessions of a Reluctant Housewife She is honest, witty, and worth checking out! Show her some love this week!
Now, sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee (or in my and Rebecca’s case, a nice can of Diet Coke) and get to know a new mom!

I am not myself in the morning until I’ve had my cup of: Diet Coke
ME:
Aside from my kids, I am PASSIONATE about: Jesus. Brad. People in general.Parenting. Blogging.
If I had a whole day all to myself, I would: Probably feel like I was missing something all day (Zoe). As I’m
thinking about this I realize the answer has changed. My standard answer would be to pack my calendar for
the day, book myself friend dates back to back and then maybe a pedicure. Now, I would probably try to
do something with my closest friends, spend a few hours at Barnes and Noble, grab a pedicure and have a
wonderful date night with Brad.

My favorite TV show is: hand down, Regis and Kelly!!!
My celebrity crush is: Clive Owen

haven’t replaced it. I’m awful at technology gadgets. But, before it broke, you would hear Worship, Country,
and Jack Johnson.
The best book I ever read was: Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers
My spouse (partner) and I keep romance alive by: date nights, hiding love notes around the house, making out
in the kitchen, holding hands, always sitting on the same couch, cuddling, love notes in lunch boxes…we’re a
pretty romantic couple.
My favorite place to shop is: Target.
I am sent to my breaking point when: Zoe is sick, or crying and I can’t figure it out.
When I’m stressed out I: eat Peanut M & M’s, and then pull into myself, calm myself down and come up with a
game plan
My favorite (most tolerated) way to exercise is: HA! Is there a favorite way to exercise? But, I really need to.
The after effects of this pregnancy need to GO!
The best piece of advice I ever received was: “Love God, love others, do whatever you want”
It’s the worst when they’re little and sick and can’t tell you what’s wrong! Thanks for sharing these…I think it’s so fun to see peeks into other mom’s lives.
