20 Questions with Vanessa

Meet Vanessa...



20 questions guest post

1 Were You Named After Anyone? No. My parents chose my name from a baby name book. Vanessa means butterfly in Greek. 


2 Do You Like Your Own Handwriting? Yes! 

3 What Would Your Superpower Be If You Could Choose One? Fly. My oldest son talks about flying all the time and I'd love to take him for a flight. 

4 Half Full Or Half Empty? Always half full. 

5 What Is Your Favorite Vacation Spot? Ruidoso, New Mexico has the top spot right now. We saw snow (first time for my boys! and had an amazing vacation there over Spring Break.

6 What Movie Would Your Friends Be Surprised That You Like? Well my firefighter and I went to see Safe last night. It kept me on the edge of my seat, which I love thrilling movies like that, and that's not something my friends know.

7 What Are Your Favorite Smells? My baby's smell, my firefighter's cologne, wildflowers, the smell of rain, and the smell of a new book. 

8 Coffee Or Tea? Well, I'm nursing my 10 month old baby so I haven't had caffeine in almost 2 years. I have an occasional iced decaf tea at my Meemaw's, but a decaf white chocolate mocha frap will always win in my book. 

9 Wine Or Beer?Neither! I don't drink & neither does my firefighter. I love that we don't and how that will influence our children. :) 


10 What Is The Best Thing You've Ever Eaten? (Where?) Wow, this one is tough! I'm such a foodie! I'd say the best is my lasagna from my kitchen. I don't ever brag, but I do believe: I am an awesome cook! 


11 Mac Or PC? PC!! 

12 What Are You Listening To Right Now? Nick Jr's Bubble Guppies tv show singing a song ;) 

13 What Career Would You Pursue In Another Life? I'd be an art history teacher. I love art history and I want to change people's lives. I've always desired being a teacher since I was a little girl. 


14 What Sound Or Noise Do You Love? My boys playing and laughing together. Their love and happiness speaks volumes to my soul. I'm teary eyed just thinking of the joy my boys bring me. 

15 What's Your Pet Peeve? Bugs. I killed a scorpion yesterday that was on my hand! And don't get me started on our spider issues. All with a crawling bebe... just imagine how much it peeves me ;) This is just perk of living in the country! I love it!! 

16 Mountains Or Beach? Mountains! I lived in a coastal town near the beach most of my years so I'm very intrigued and amazed by large majestic mountains.

17 Cook Or Bake? Cook. I love both, but I feel I have more control over the meal's deliciousness as I'm cooking. 

18 What Is Your Favorite Dessert? Tiramisu! By far!! 

19 What Is Your Favorite Fairy Tale Or Childhood Story? The Little Mermaid  

20 What Would You Tell The 13 Year Old You? Never lose sight of what is important in life: Family and God because in the end, they are all that matters! Smile everyday and count your blessings. You don't know how good your life is. Stay true to you. Really focus on and make art. You're very talented! You are an amazing girl of God!! 


Thanks for having me today, Kelly! 
Your 20 Questions game was fun & challenging. (Favorite food ever? That was hard!)
 I tend to spend so much time focused on my little firefighters, my love, 
and our home that I forget about myself. 
 When was the last time I painted my nails? 
Bought something for me? Had a hair cut? Oy vey! 

I'm in love with my family and making sure they are properly cared for and my children happy as can be. Thank you for giving me a few moments to reflect on myself. 

 If you'd like to read more or see adorable photos of my little firefighters, 
I blog over at pure joy & adoration. 

 Much love, Vanessa
