I love reading Tia’s blog! She is on of my favorite bloggers! Check her blog out!!!
Tia’s Questions for Me…
1. I’m always so jealous of your Loreal freebies! What’s the best thing you’ve received so far?
LOL…they are soon coming to an end (sad face) they are closing the plant here in Ohio and moving to Kentucky. So I am sure going to miss them…since I am a big makeup person I would have to say when they send makeup home I love trying the new products!!!
2. You recently posted a pic of you and your family doing one big selfie. What’s a typical day like with your family?
Well if its a weekday…Darrick works 2nd shift so in the morning I do stuff around the house (wash dishes, pick up around the house, homework, or start dinner), then I either drop him off at work, we leave the house at the same time, or I stay at home with Emma. During the day we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Doc McStuffins, then we may do something educational. Emma usually takes a nap around 12:30pm so at that time I finish up homework or put up a blog post. If we leave I run errands and stop by my parents house for a couple of hours, then go home or meet Darrick at home when he gets off.
In the new year I plan to get us on a better schedule!

3. What are your blogging goals for 2014?
Hmmm…
Well I have one company I am already working with in the new year, I plan to work with more companies and reaching out to them. Also I have been looking into doing some freelance writing so I hope to link up with some companies and do some of that. Honestly, I just want to be more consistent in the new year. At least posting Mon-Fri…and off on the weekends! Or if I have weekend post they will be posted in advance, no working on the blog on weekends!
Maybe Sunday nights while the hubs is watching sports…I can get a few things done!
Also, planning ahead…using my planner to plan out my post and ideas!

4. I love seeing pics of Emma on Instagram!
What are some of her favorite things to do right now?
What are some of her favorite things to do right now?
Aww thanks!!! She is Miss Independent!
She wants to try to do things herself!
She loves playing on Tablets and Cellphones, its amazing to see that she knows exactly how to use them. She knows how to swipe her fingers, and go to the Disney App…so I plan to introduce her to more education apps next year.
5. When was the last time you had a day to yourself? What did you do?
It has really been a while!
Honestly I cant even remember…guess that means I need to schedule one SOON!

6. I don’t know much about Cleveland. What would I be surprised to learn about your city?
(pic)
Food Trucks, Museums, Festivals, Movies in the Park, Shopping, Sports, Casinos…There is really something to do for everyone…no matter what you are into!
The people (Clevelanders) are very passionate about the city!
I would say if you are going to visit…come in the summertime! The snow is beautiful in the winter, but there is so much to do in the Summer. Its a city of festivals in the summertime, you can find all types of food festivals during the summertime. Or if you want to sit outside, there are tons of restaurants downtown to sit on the patio and enjoy the weather and city!
7. We took our Christmas decorations down the day after Christmas. When does your family put away decorations? Any special traditions?
I usually take them down not too long after Christmas, they may come down this weekend! We put our tree and decorations up before Thanksgiving. We host Thanksgiving at our house so we like for them to be up a couple of days before Thanksgiving, so by the time Christmas comes around I am tired of looking at them. So it wont be long at all!!!

8. How do you celebrate New Years?
I like to bring in the New Year with my family. This year (like last year) we find a hotel to stay at and have a little party (Darrick, Emma, and I)…but if we didnt do that we go to church, or all my family gets together over one family members house and have a little party! No matter where we bring it in…we usually say Happy New Year…give hugs and kisses then pray!

9. I’m anxiously awaiting the return of Scandal. What are you loving on TV right now?
I am currently glued to the TV watching The Housewives of Atlanta! Its funny because after every episode I go off on Kandi’s mom…I tell Darrick all about how I feel about that lady! Im so glad he listens to me! LOL!
Also, Darrick has me hooked on Black Ink Crew. We watch this faithfully together every Monday night! Then we both go off about the show and characters! HA!
10. If you could have one for the rest of your life would you choose a chef or a maid?
A MAID!!!!
Yes Please!!!
I can cook for myself and family…but to have someone to clean, and do laundry!!! Oh Yes!!!
