So far I’ve had 13 terrific responses to my request for questions to answer to help me get over my blogger’s block!  Thanks everybody!  Here’s what enquiring minds wanted to know:

1. Kelly asked, If money were no object, and you could only spend it on yourself, what would you buy?

I would hire a personal chef to plan, shop for, and cook all my meals and snacks, making sure each person in my family got the perfect amount of nutrition each day, and they would make sure I stuck 100 percent to an eating plan that would lead to my weight loss. Then I would buy liposuction and plastic surgery for all the loose skin I would be sure to have

2.  Jennifer asked, I too am a mom of three. What do you do just for you?

About once a month, I ask my husband to take our kids out to dinner after work. He usually stops at the grocery store for milk or Target for something on the way home, so I get about 90-120 minutes of ABSOLUTE SILENCE.  Just not having to be responsible for anyone except myself, even for just that amount of time, is SO nice once in a while

3.  Lindley asked, If you could review (and keep!) any new product, what would you choose? Something for the family, the kids, just for you? Or if you could invent any new product to make your life easier/more enjoyable what would that be?

First question- hmm, a new car? Oh, I know, a new washer and dryer that are energy efficient!  An iPhone that comes with free service for life! No, I have it–a wonderfully comfortable mattress that fits in a twin size bunk bed, for my son who never complains but sleeps on a mattress that’s about as thick as a pancake.

Second question- I’d invent a way to keep coffee drinks hot so that places like Starbucks and our regional chain Biggby’s can deliver hot Mochas to me when I need one!

4. Teresa asked, If you had to live a different life, what or who would you be. I think I would royalty or a rock star.

Oh, that’s a really good question. I’d like to live the life of someone who is independently wealthy, but of course with my husband and kids too. I’d like it if Chris didn’t have to work and we could travel all over the world as a family, see everything there is to see.

5. Alison asked, I just saw The Bucket List last night. What’s on your list to do in this lifetime that you haven’t done yet?

If I can’t see the world, I’d like to at least see more of the United States. I’d like to see the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore. And I’d like to spend time in New York City, see all the museums and Central Park.

I’ll do another batch of questions after I get some reviews done, and feel free to keep the questions coming, too!
