My eleven things:

4. I'm ready for baby #2... not to sure about my other half lol.

6. I love strawberries.

7. I like when it's raining at bedtime.

8. Last winter I watched 'Lost' from beginning to end, yep - that's right, 6 seasons of up to 24 episodes each one after the other. Took us about 2 months, but it was worth it... kind of.

9. I can hardly sit still for more than ten minutes, and if I do I have to be doing something while I sit... hence why I took up blogging.

  2. Where have you traveled (within or out of country) and what is a favorite memory of that trip? I love Rotorua. There are so many places to explore and a spa pool in every hotel!
  3. What was your first ever blog post about? It was about the blog and taking the big step into the blogging world and why on earth anyone would want to read about me!
  4. When you meet someone for the first time, what do you notice first? Their eyes. I find they usually tell a lot about their personality too.
  5. Who has been an influential person in your life and why? My amazing dad... so many reasons. Read my blog posts about him.
  6. The answer is 6, what is the question? If I have 3 bacon strawberries and I bake 3 more bacon strawberries...how many bacon strawberries do I need to hide from Damien so he doesn't eat them before I do?
