Meet & Greet Monday

Happy Monday!  Today, I am continuing my Meet & Greet series of my favorite bloggers.  Do you know Amanda over at A Brownie World?  She is funny, creative, organized, and happens to be a fellow Trim Healthy Mama, so she always has delicious (and healthy) recipes!  I was so excited when Amanda let me "interview" her for the blog.  I think you're going to like her just as much as I do...


How long have you been blogging and what inspired you to start blogging?

Three and a half years!  I have always written - actually won some awards for it before I grew up, LOL.  I missed writing and decided I should blog after reading a friend of a friend's blog on NYE 2012.  So on 1/1/2013 I started!

How did you come up with the name of your blog?

Its actually a childhood nick name derived from my maiden name!

Of all your posts, which one was your favorite to write and why?

How crazy but a recent post is my most favorite.  I tackled the topic of being "tribeless" I'm a lone ranger in a world of cliques and groups.  I felt like I wasn't alone and it needed to be said that we aren't all attached to groups and it isn't a bad thing but more of a personality/life experience deal that we have went through.

What’s the best piece of advice you have ever received? 

Give it to God.

Let’s pretend a big TV executive called you up and wanted to feature you on a popular talk show each week.  Who’s talk show would you want to appear on and what would your segments be about?

KLG andHoda - I would just want to be there to gab at the start of the show with RANDOM topics!!!

What are your go to’s?  In other words, I’m going to give you a scenario when you might find yourself in a time crunch…tell me the first thing that pops in your head.

You need an outfit and you only have an hour to find it.  What store is your go to?

HA - all I have close by is Walmart!  But they have some super cute stuff sometimes so maybe I could do it??

Friends are coming over for dinner tomorrow night?  What’s your go to entertaining meal?

Well love, we're going to grill and I'll whip up a salad to go with whatever throw on the grill.  I can bet you it will be pork chops (bone in only) or chicken on the grill.  I also LOVE making up some roasted veggies.  For dessert I'm allowing sugar in so how about a pineapple cake?

You're cleaning house on a Saturday afternoon.  What’s your go to CD or Pandora station?

Classic Country which today translates to the good stuff of the 80's and 90's!  George Strait really motivates me to clean the house because well I pretend I'm Nancy and he's coming home to me!!!

You need to stare mindlessly at the TV to unwind.  What’s your go to TV show?

Real Housewives of anywhere.  I'm addicted.

You’re planning a date night (or girl’s night out).  What’s your go to restaurant for a fun time? 

Date night we're headed to Milner Brother's (local fave, classic NC cuisine with fun and fresh twists) and then across the street for drinks with friends.

You need some encouragement.  Who’s your go to person for a little pick me up?

Emily, you have been very encouraging and I'm blessed to know you sweet heart!  Andrea at Cloud Nine is another blogger who is so near and dear to me.  Around here it is my best friend Ashley.  She is like a sister so she has my back and she can set me straight! 

Thank you so much, Amanda!
