Hannah asked....

1.When and why did you start blogging?                                                                               
 I Started blogging in July 2015. I had been reading blogs for years and had attempted to start a beauty blog some time ago. Since becoming a mum I just felt I had so much more to say and needed an outlet whilst on Maternity leave. Now that I am not going back to work for the foreseeable future I am planning on spending much more time on the blog. 

 2.If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
At the moment it would be Boston in the USA. We had some friends move their last year with their 2 little girls, who are my husbands God daughters and the youngest is 8 weeks older than Ailsa. We miss them so much but we do FaceTime with them loads.

3.How would your friends and family describe you?
Most would just comment on how short I am. I would like to think they would say I was extremely intelligent and beautiful with a brilliant personality but they would probably just say "She's Short". 

4.What is your favourite movie?
I don't think I have one if I am honest. There are so many that I enjoy but if I had to choose it would probably be Bridesmaids. I could just watch it over and over and I watched it the night before my wedding. 


5.What is the the most exciting thing you have done?
I definitely think it was having a baby. Nothing in life is more challenging or exciting than adding a new addition to the family. 

6.Who do you admire in the blogging world?
There are so many bloggers out there that I admire but the ones who got me into the world of parent blogging and inspired me to start my own are Alex from Bump to BabyKerry from Oh So Amelia and Rebecca from Mrs Meldrum

7.Tell me a fun fact about yourself….
My favourite thing to eat is jalapeño poppers. I absolutely adore them. 

8.What are your blogging dreams?
I'd like to work on blogging more consistently and having better quality posts. I'd eventually like to go into vlogging, maybe once Ailsa is a little older and I have some more time. 

9.If you could meet any celebrity, who would it be and why?
Id love to meet The Duchess of Cambridge, we both went to The University of St Andrews and I think it would be fab to compare notes in our times there.  

10.Do you have a favourite book or author?
The Harry Potter series is by far my favourite books. Although I also love Marian Keyes and Cecelia Ahern for some chick lit books. 

11.What song would you sing at Karaoke
Most Definitely Total Eclipse of the Heart although I cannot sing for the life of me.
