What fears have you overcome and how?

I’m one of those people who has Facebook and instagram all set to private .

As I decided to become an influencer as a little hobby that came along with videos with my face and voice for anyone to see 😬

It took me a long time to stop sounding like a robot because I was so nervous.

I refuse to use filters and all of that stuff so I threw out these videos that today I’m embarrassed of but have left them up because at that moment and time that was the best I could do. Each video gets easier and is more natural for me. But yep showing your face for anyone in the world to see was hard.

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

When it comes to one simple thing .. that’s taking 30 mins before bed time and reading.

Taking my brain to another place that doesn’t include worrying about dishes left in the sink or what’s on my to do list for the next day is simple. I enjoy reading and I always sleep better .

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

I have kept every hand written card and note my children have given me.

I love to sit down and pull them out every year and read them.

Even as my kids grew up it’s the only thing I ask for every year for Mother’s Day.

Reading those handmade cards and notes as they grew up and watching their perspective of life change too is something I will always cherish.

Do you have any collections?

The biggest collection I have would be Harley Davidson Poker Chips.

With every adventure we take on the motorcycle we stop at Harley Davidson Stores and buy a poker chip.

They all have the town and state on them so it’s a collection of where we have been.

What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

This isn’t something I really have thought about because I like to live life in the moment.

I don’t really like to think of anything about when I’m no longer here.

But if I had to quickly think and answer this it would be to my kids .

I hope they remember and carry on family dinners, and living live laughing.

Family dinners have always been a time with no electronics and everyone just chatting . As a Mom of older children family dinner night is my favorite part of the week .

Because in our household we’ve always been far from serious we make memories to last a lifetime ♥️

These are the two things I feel my kids will always remember and smile about .

How do you feel about cold weather?

I probably fit in some category of the coldest woman alive.

I’m not even being dramatic when I say that. I have zero tolerance for cold weather yet somehow I’m stuck in the land of horrible weather in Indiana.

Let’s talk about Indiana we constantly live through all three seasons in one day . You can leave in the morning with a spring jacket , lunch time shorts and flip flops , and a few hours later a winter jacket . It’s a rough life out here for a person who’s always cold.

My household finds the temperatures I like to keep the heat at unacceptable. It’s a constant battle.

One day when all of my children have grown up and I see what states they all choose to live in I will definitely pack up and pick a spot in between all of them but it will not be Indiana.

4 days ago we had the air conditioning on at home. Life was great sunbathing and today the furnace is running and we are back to winter jackets.

I’m definitely a summer loving woman.

Have you ever broken a bone?

I’ve broken my nose . Lesson learned never stand to close to a batter. Home run hit off of my nose.

Then slamming fingers in your gate yep that will break those. Oh and that fixed object you ram your toe into like a pallet when you’re trying to grab a case of water . Ouch !

I’m more of let’s tear shoulders girl lol I’m healing from my second surgery. First one fell off of a bike. This one was the Christmas gift that keeps giving. On Christmas I tore my bicep tendon lifting weights which tore my rotator cuff right off of my bone. I’m all clipped, wired , and screwed back together in my shoulders and arms .

How do you balance work and home life?

I’ll admit I live off of a calendar. If it isn’t written down then it isn’t going to be part of my day.

How early I wake up depends on my workload for the day .

I am already an early riser because everyday I am fitting in the gym, kids, chores, work, and sports.

I’m great at managing my time and making everything happen off of a written schedule .

I love the old fashion way of writing it down on a calendar on my desk so the entire family can see it all at once. Save me so much time on answering text 😂 I do not work a normal 9 to 5 so this is helpful to my entire household.

Writing it all out and seeing it visually helps me make sure I’m not cramming more than I should into each day.

What sacrifices have you made in life?

I’m not sure I’ve made actual sacrifices.

Everything I’ve done in life has been by choice .

Anything I’ve done to help someone out or time I have spent has always been by choice.

And by choice I’ve always had the option to say no if it was something that didn’t fit into my life .

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

Let’s be honest everyday all day I’m wearing art . Some of it is old some of it is new. But all of it I chose.

I love tattoos and I have more than I could even count . They are the most expensive thing I wear too 😂

If you’re wondering my favorite tattoo happens to be my children’s thumb prints together made into a heart.

Happy Friday Friends !
