2. Favorite scent? Fresh lilacs, the first tailgate of the season, the fireplace during Christmas time, fresh baked cookies

3. Best Vacation Memory? My folks and both grandmas and I roadtripped to Yellowstone when I was turning 10 y.o. On my birthday, my dad got me up at 5:00am and surprised me with a hot air balloon ride. :-)

4.Craziest parenting advice you've recieved so far? Nothing crazy, perse, but I find it funny that one person will say one thing and another will say the exact opposite. This is exactly why you should go with your mommy instincts!

6.Biggest worry of being a mom? I want Elowyn to surround herself with good people. I don't want her to make bad decisions and make friends with douches. I know that's out of my hands to a certain extent, but I can raise her to know that she's worth surrounding herself with good people that love her for who she is.
