Catch the Moments, Week 15

Each day in 2014, I am taking a photo. There is no telling what the photo will be or where the “inspiration” will come from. All photos are taken either with my Nikon D5100 or the iPhone (for those times on the go). Come back each Friday for a complete compilation of the past seven days and link to join / view others as part of the 365 projects!

This week: I missed two days and I didn’t even realize it until now. I hope you can at least enjoy some of the shots that I did grab! Have a great week!

Day 100/365: April 10, 2014
The view outside my apartment. I enjoy my little spot in the “big city”.

BlogHer ’13 Blog Hop #3: Roommates

As previously mentioned, this July I will be heading to the BlogHer conference in Chicago and I couldn’t be more excited! BlogHer is a chance to meet with other bloggers, learn more about blogging and for everyone to expand their horizons! The Kavanaugh Report and The Naptown Organizer have put together a monthly link up for everyone attending so we can get to know each other a little better!

1. With whom are you rooming for BlogHer ’13?

Heather from Terrell Family Fun and Amanda from Princess of the Panhandle!

2. How do you know these ladies? Are these new bloggers you’ll be meeting at the conference or old friends?

A little of both – Heather and I met back in college and is one of the primary reasons why I’m here in good, oleTexas. Amanda is a newer blogger friend who I met last fall at a Dallas/Fort Worth Blogger meet up.

3. What are your typical sleep and wake times at home? Do you tend to be an early bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between?
Ha! Well, it really depends. I’ve been going to bed late and waking up early and most recently I took a little vacation and am back on a “regular” sleeping schedule. Let’s just say I caught up on some sleep. I’m pretty flexible though – if I think I’m going to miss something, I’ll be up early.
4. Tell us about your bathroom habits. {Just kidding!!! …kind of!} What is your daily routine for getting ready for the day? How long do you typically take on make up, showering, hair, etc.?
I’m low maintenance but I don’t do anything without brushing my teeth and taking a shower first (daily). I also think I’m one of the few people who very rarely wear makeup (partly because I have no idea what I’m doing). I’ll say 30 minutes, tops. I’m ready to go!

5. Do you plan to spend time at the conference with your roommates, or will you try to go off on your own?
Well, both my roommates are mom bloggers and I’m primarily travel so there’s a good chance we’ll be attending different events. I would love to spend time with them on this trip but I would also love to meet some other travel bloggers while I’m there. I guess it all depends on the schedules we have going or would like to attend but I hope so!

BlogHer ’13 Blog Hop #2: Travel Edition

As mentioned last month, this July I will be heading to the BlogHer conference in Chicago and I couldn’t be more excited! BlogHer is a chance to meet with other bloggers, learn more about blogging and for everyone to expand their horizons! The Kavanaugh Report and The Naptown Organizer have put together a monthly link up for everyone attending so we can get to know each other a little better!

This is the second edition of the BlogHer ’13, ‘Get to Know You’ – Travel Edition!

Here we go….

1. Most importantly, how are you getting to BlogHer13? Plane, train, automobile?
Since BlogHer is in Chicago – we will be flying. Let’s hope for a safe and easy flight (and hopefully affordable).

2. Are you traveling alone or with a friend? Are you stopping anywhere on your way to Blogher13?
This, I am highly excited about! I’ll be traveling with my good friend, Heather from Terrell Family Fun. Heather knows all about gnomes, web design and most importantly blogs about being a fabulous mom to Lennox and wife to Kyle. Be sure to swing by and say hi to her!
Heather and I will also be rooming with Amanda from Princess of the Panhandle! Pure Texan, mama to a cute little Teale and wife to a cowboy… need I say more? Love her blog and I’m not going to lie, a little jealous of her ranch / cowboy lifestyle.
Are we stopping anywhere? Considering that we’re flying, I hope the only stop is a layover if we have one!

3. What is your least favorite travel story or memory of traveling?
Well… there was this one time when I was moving to Texas and had to drive thru West Virginia. Nothing against anyone from West Virginia but your highways are ridiculous and felt like it take FOREVER to drive thru. Let’s just say hills and curves the ENTIRE way.

Then there was this other time where I sat in an airport in Louisville, KY for 12 hours due to “mechanical problems” or something of that nature. That’s right 12 hours! I think that says enough. I don’t even want to think about it.

4. What is your favorite method of travel?
Driving. Hands down driving. You have control, you have your own comfort plus I love my car more than anything!

5. Name one thing you’ll look forward to your travels to BlogHer13?
I’ve never been to Chicago (besides the airport for layovers) so a chance to see this city first hand while meeting all these awesome bloggers is REALLY exciting!
