    Is there really a frog named Rowan? Of course! Me :) Not that I know of. I've had this online name since I got on the internet though. Rowan was my favorite character from my favorite book at the time "The Witching Hour" by Anne Rice and I had an obsession with frogs. Was trying to come up with a name no one else would use!

    If you could be any animal what would you be and why? A cat...specifically one of mine :)

    What is your all time, punch someone in the face to get it, favorite dessert? Right now, just about anything. Actually, when we lived in NJ there was a restaurant called Presto and they had this large, partially baked cookie topped with ice cream, chocolate syrup, and ice cream, it was to die for.

    Have you actually ever punched someone in the face? Nope, pretty sure I haven't!

    What is your favorite thing about being a mother? They are just delicious. I love the things they say, I love watching their little brains work and figure things out. I love seeing how they resemble DH and I, and how they are also their own little people. 

    What is your least favorite thing about being a mother? Their ability to push me to the limits of my patience...and then some! The constantness of it...there is NO break ever.  This maybe isn't a "least favorite" thing, but its the biggest adjustment.

    What's your biggest fear? DH or my children dying.

    How did you meet your H? We met in college philosphy class. We like to joke that we smelled each other across a crowded room. Our pheromones love each other. We didn't start dating seriously for another 3 years bc both of us were with other people or in other cities, but we could never stay away from each other for long and that continues. Our 9 yr wedding anniversary is this month!

    What three things could you never, ever live without [besides kids, husband, family etc.]? Q-tips (I HATE it when the inside of my ears are wet after a shower, it drives me bonkers), my Kindle (I have to read every night), sparkling water.

    What's your favorite sandwich [if you even like sandwiches]? Just recently I started liking sandwiches, but I'd have to say grilled cheese.

    If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and who would you take? I'd take DH for sure, maybe the kiddos. I'd love to go to Australia, I want to dive on the Great Barrier Reef.

    If you had to leave your house in 30 seconds to never return, what would you grab? I'm assuming that this assumes my family and pets are safe :) After that I would grab my external hard drives that store all of my pictures and videos. Just about everything else is replaceable but those memories aren't.

    Whats your favorite beer? Wine? cocktail? Beer: something I tried in Austria and have never found again, "Kaiser Doppler Malt" so delicious! Wine - never met one I didn't like, but I love Conundrum, I love most Pinots. Cocktail - don't drink much liquor, but when I have to I like Capn morgan and coke

    If you could change one thing about Dh, what would it be? I wish he was handier and could (and would) fix stuff more around the house!

    Ah-ha! The million dollar question :) Technically we are keeping it a secret because we are naming him after my dad and I want to tell him in the delivery room after he is born. Our other sons have middle family names after DH's dad's side of the family, none after his mom's or my family.

    This boy will be: Andrew Comfort.  Comfort is DH's grandmother's maiden name and his middle name.

    So no, we are bucking the E tradition (we didn't do it on purpose anyway.) This will most likely be the last grandchild for my parents and it's the 7th boy. I'm excited to honor my dad by giving him his name, especially since his last name will die with him, since he only has daughters.

I stay at home with my boys and I do Passion Parties on evenings and weekends. I enjoy being able to be home with my boys and I really love what I do, it's very fun and rewarding! So believe it or not I don't think I would change a thing!

    Describe your typical weekday.
    Well, I'll describe two since I have two types of days - one day when I don't have my kiddos and one day when I have one of them.

    Mondays and Wednesdays:
    Up at 6:10am - get E1 breakfast, pack his lunch and on the school bus. Then I either go back to bed or do stuff around the house until E2 wakes up, usually at 8am. Get him dressed, breakfast and drop him off at school.

    Then I have a few precious hours to do anything and everything, groceries, clean house, do my work for my business, have some "me time," whatever needs to be done.

    12-2pm - pick up E2 from school, feed him lunch, put him down for a nap.
    2:40 - E1 gets off the bus, feed him a snack, do homework
    3:30ish - everything is done and we usually go outside to play for awhile or have a playdate.
    5pm - cook dinner
    5:30- eat dinner
    6:15pm - upstairs, baths, PJs, wrestlemania time, stories and bed around 7pm

    7pm-10:30pm - DH and I get to hang out and off to bed.

    On the other days I have my 2 yr old home with me and we usually go to playdates, hit the park etc in the morning and the rest of the day is the same!

    I love historical fiction and fantasy light :)

    We have 2 cats, a frog, a 75 gallon African Cichlid tank and a goldfish we won at a fair 3 years ago that has mysteriously survived several life-threatening situations. Between those and my 2. 5 children I have plenty of living things depending on me right now and don't want or need any more!! :)

    What were you like as a child?
    Are either of your kids like you?
    As a young child I was extremely shy (that continued until around 14 or 15) and I was a rule follower.

    Both of my boys are very outgoing, they can talk to anyone and they both lay on the charm. They get that from their dad. E1 doesn't like to listen much or do what we ask of him. We work with him on it, but its an ongoing battle. Also gets that from his dad. E2 is more of a rule follower so he gets that from me. They are both big snugglers, they get that from both of us. But if I had to pick I would say my second son is more like me than my 1st. MY 1st is JUST like his dad.

    Honestly I'm really struggling with this one. There are some things that I regret from my personal life, (royally screwing up college for one) but if I hadn't done that then I would not be with DH. So that screwup led me to a good place that I don't regret.

    Events in history are tougher....mostly I wish that there could be less suffering in this world. It's so hard to pick a particular event to eliminate though because I feel that the repercussions of these events resonate far deeper than we can possibly envision and lead to some good....and some bad.

    So....I guess I'm taking my pass on this one, since I can't choose a particular event.

    Sorry :)

    I am pregnant with my third too and can't decide if this one will be an easy transition or if it will cause chaos for several months. My boys are 2.5 and 1 yr so a little younger but .... are we in for it or no big deal?
    Oh we are in for it for sure :)
