Lauren Asked Me:

1. How often do you make your bed? I rarely make my bed. Why make my bed when my covers will be messed up again. When we have company over I will make the bed or just shut the bedroom door.

2.  How often do you keep yourself accountable with your blog during the school year? We shall see soon! I just started this blog in June. I've been pretty regular at blogging during the summer months, but I'm not as busy during this time of the year.

3.  What is the strangest thing you've ever had a parent ask you to do or tell you? This question has stumped me. Right now I can't think of anything. I need to keep a little journal by my desk to write down the funny random things my kids say throughout the years (as well as their parents).

4.  If you get a hold of some extra cash where do you spend it? That is easy! I would put it towards my next traveling adventure!

5.  What is your Starbucks order? My Barista's have this memorized! A tall, toffee nut mocha (hot).

6.  In the animal kingdom, which animal would you be? How about an ostrich, because they are different and I'm all about being yourself!

7. What do you miss from your childhood?  I miss having no responsibilities!

8.  Are you good at keeping secrets? Yes!!!

9.  If you could re-do your entire classroom for free, what would be your new theme? I'd like my room theme to be composed of a nifty color scheme and patterns. I would love for it to have a nontraditional classroom decor feel to it.

10.  If you could have the entire set of one author's book's for free, who would you buy? Right now I like the novels of Tatiana De Rosnay.
