What were you like in high school? Nerd, jock, stoner, etc?
I was a cheerleader but I didnt hang out with the "cool kids" or ever went to parties. I spent every waking second that I wasnt in school, dancing at my studio. So I didnt have the social life that most cheerleaders had.
What are your favorite pair of shoes you own?
I have lots of high heels that I love but my absolute favorite would have to be the flip-flops I wear almost daily. They're Sanuks, they're made of yoga mat and saved my back while I was pregnant.

I was the same in high school. I was a cheerleader and friends with everyone, but didn't drink or party.
Best and worst dates? Worst date-A guy took me to dinner at a nice restaurant and ended up getting sick from being drunk at the table. So I ended up paying and driving him back to his house in his car and having to call a friend to come get me.
Best- Honestly I've never had a "holy crap that was so amazing" kind of date. They've all been just kinda eh.
Something your LO does that always makes you laugh?
She makes the craziest faces and out of no where she will just go nuts and her whole body will start moving and she will scream talk. Its like it builds up and then she lets it all out. She also likes to scream talk in grocery stores which makes me laugh too.
What family traditions will you continue with your DD?
We don't really have any, my family is spread out all over the US.
Are there any new ones you like to begin?
Yes Id like to start some kind of family tradition maybe for her birthday or for Christmas. I want it to be really special for Ava, any ideas or welcome.
Also what is the sweetest thing you've witnessed YH doing for Ava?
H and I are now divorced, he checked out when I was pregnant and he came home from his ship. I know he loves her but things were very strange, he didnt really do anything with her, although I still have a photo of her sleeping on his shoulder a couple days after she was born. Its my favorite of them.
Tell me about your most embarrassing moment. What is your proudest?
Oh man most embarrassing. I was a dancer on a cruiseship for 5 years. I was in Hairspray on the ship and we wore these tulle liners under our dresses and I have to go from sitting on the floor and standing up and my heel got stuck and I tripped and fell off the front of the stage. They stopped the show and everything even though I was fine. EVERYONE approached me about it for the rest of the cruise.
Proudest- Going through this divorce and not making ex-h out to be the asshole that he is. He's done a lot of shady things but for the sake of drama and sanity in my life Ive made it seem pretty mutual. Its taken a lot of will power but I'm proud of being the mature on I guess in the whole situation. That and taking care of Ava all on my own and not losing my damn mind.
Christmas! I feel like there is a spirit everyone gets into, even if religiously people don't celebrate it, I just feel like its a time where people are friendly and are thinking about other people more than regularly.
Favorite time of day?
Night time, Im a huge night owl and get most of my thinking and life things figured out and organized. I always feel super accomplished at the end of the day. Also some of my best dance choreography happens in the middle of the night because I feel like my thoughts are the most raw.
What makes you feel like a million bucks?
The right dress, a great pair of high heels and a margarita or five
What has surprised you most about yourself since you had A?
How confident I have become as a woman, if that makes any sense. I feel like my life has true purpose now than ever before. I feel secure in who I am on my own and know what I want for my future for her and I. I feel more concrete in the decisions I make. So hard to get out what I'm thinking and for it to make sense.
Maybe its not a phobia per se but I have this weird thing where I can't hold sweaty drinks, like wet glasses or anything, it freaks me out.
Who is your favorite contestant on SYTYCD this season?
Ohhh for the girls I love Tanisha and for boys I love Marcquet. Although there aren't many that I'm not a fan of. The actual dances have been lacking something for me so far though.
I believe you said you worked with Mia Michaels... How was that (she's my favorite!)?
Shes amazing, soft spoken, smart, and just has a way of bringing out the best in people. How she is on the show is exactly how she is in real life. I was star struck haha
There are so many good ones. I love Newsies but I also like one that isn't very popular. It was made into a movie, its called Nine. Its one of my favorites.
How do you like your margaritas?
On the rocks, extra salt on the rim and with a hit of orange juice!
And I'm a lil obsessed with what it's like to live on a cruise ship. I read this "memoir" from some guy who worked on some Carnival ships. What was the best part of ship life? The worst part? Where did you live? How was the food? What would surprise us about ship life? Are you ever allowed off the boat?
@KatyBriggs. Maybe surprised isn't the best word but how brave she was and has been with the Down syndrome diagnosis just makes me really impressed. My (distant) brothers have down syndrome and I know its not easy but hearing her talk about it when she first told us, I was just struck by her courage and strength through it all. I admire her strongly for that.
You have a time machine for 24 hours. Where do you go? What do you do?
This is so hard, I would love to be there for Martin Luther King' Jrs speech it was such a turning point in history I would have loved to experience that.
Depending on the food -Feta Cheese or Peanut butter
Mac or PC?
MAC
Favorite color for a mani/pedi?
I like pinks. I have on Essie Watermelon
And I'm a lil obsessed with what it's like to live on a cruise ship. I read this "memoir" from some guy who worked on some Carnival ships.
What was the best part of ship life?
Definitely seeing all different places of the world and getting paid for it.
The worst part?
The food for crew. Most crew are Filipino or Indian and the food caters towards them. If you like Indian food then you would have no issues but after 6 months it gets so so old.
Where did you live?
We lived in crew cabins that are the size of a double closet. You are paired with a roommate and you share bunk beds. Its tough for sure. Crew cabins are on deck one and zero. They are never below sea level though, as cool as that would be.
How was the food?
When we could eat the guest food great, when we couldn't yuck.
What would surprise us about ship life?
How much everyone sleeps with everyone and how much STDS run rampant through crew members. Also how common it is for officers to have "ship wives" and actual wives at home. Hate that.
Are you ever allowed off the boat?
I was a dancer so my life was easy and our schedule was super duper easy. We were allowed off all the time. The room cleaners never got off, they bust their asses and are the hardest workers, get paid peanuts and are never allowed off, I feel so sad for them.
If I had to just pick one it probably have to be "Hotel California."
Favourite book?
Anything by Nicholas Sparks, I'm a sucker for his romance novels.
Which Bumpie(s) would you take on a shopping spree?
Anyone who likes to buy food at all the kiosks. They suck me in everytime. Im not a huge shopper but when I do I buy food at all the candy/food stores. *cue dos equis man*
Where would you go shopping?
A mall with good food in it
Who would you take to dinner?
I would say @Mevaroo (you!!) , I feel like we would have a good time, plus I remember you love rice and I love fried rice, so its meant to be.
Tie between Nice, France and Norway. Norway was stunning like it took my breath away but where we docked there wasnt shit to do there. France was just as charming and as beautiful as it seems. I would love to live there.
Where would you like to visit?
I would love to go Thailand.
If you could speak a foreign language, which would you choose and why?
French, Its beautiful to listen to, for me. Plus if I wanna live in France I guess id better learn the language.
It's a very random thing to remember about me, but yes, I do love rice! Fried rice is the bomb. I look forward to our dinner date (where I will play with your baby's hair. Don't mind me..)
I know I think I remembered cause I said out loud... rice what an interesting choice.
Tagged ones are so hard because I feel like I post quite a bit but haven't really established relationships with very many of you as much as I would like.... So I'm just gonna pick some people I think would be fun times from what I know of them. Hoping maybe my AMA will help me find some things in common with more people... other than just the babes.
Favorite and least favorite trend from the past decade?
Favorite: The sock bun, I think it looks classy and elegant. Least- Oh man the short short shorts and the crop tops all the girls are wearing. Im not a huge fan.
What's your go-to meal that you like to cook?
Since its just me I do the salmon packets. Salmon in foil with olive oil and lemon pepper and green beans. Easy and quick. I eat salmon at least 3 times a week.
Not a movie but a documentary called One Day on Earth. It videoed people around the world all on the same day, it was really cool to just see the differences of how people live.
animal- Probably dogs, I love the Boxer breed in particular.
What is a goal you hope to achieve?
I want to go to school next year for Veterinary Technician. I am working on getting some online classes scheduled for next month of the general education things I need to have so hopefully ill only have to make the hour drive to the school two days a week. I hope to go and succeed even with being a single mom. I depended solely on my ex-husband, so now that we are apart, he still supports us but I want to be a good example for A and have a job that I love to do. So I hope to go and pass then get a good job somewhere beautiful.

I love this AMA so much. You are such a strong woman 1,000 love tits to you!
PS: I just love A's hair. Did you have long hair when you were a baby?

Thank you! No Ex-H and I both were bald then had white blonde hair so A's hair was a huge surprise. She has more hair than a good friend of mine's 2 year old!
Probably Wanderlust. It just makes me laugh so hard and it seems like a very real character. Also I love Jennifer Aniston so its my two favorites. I feel like I would be that girl to run away to a convent with hippies and probably be with a guy like his character. I love everything he's in.. also can't forget Anchorman.
