Linky Follower Party Hop

Joining in the Linky Party Blog Hop started by Cheri at It's So Very Cheri!  I like that the new Linky Follower tool works on every platform and won't be discontinued in the future!  As a new blogger, I had not even set up GFC and am starting from scratch with Linky Follower instead.

Here are the rules for the blog hop (borrowed graciously from Maryann@DomesticallySpeaking):

RULES:

1. YOU MUST HAVE THE LINKY FOLLOWERS TOOL ON YOUR SITE TO PARTICIPATE.

{You can have both the LINKY FOLLOWERS & GFC on your site but you must have the LINKY FOLLOWERS to participate in this party hop.}

2. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE PERSON WHO HAS THE PARTY ON THEIR SITE AS A THANK YOU.

3. JUST ADD YOUR BLOG BUTTON TO THE LINKY PARTY BELOW.

Kinship Adoptions; Grandmas Amazing Journey participating in the January 28th 5QF Blog Hop

I am so excited. I couldn't wait for this weeks 5QF blog hop. This is the only one I currently do and its so much fun meeting people and reading all the answers to the questions.

 

1. If you had $1,000 to donate to a charity, which would you choose?

1,000 dollars isn't a ton of money for any one charity to truly make a difference. I guess I would donate it to a local fund for a family benefit. Then I would know exactly where it went and the cause it supported.

2. Snow days: Do you welcome them happily or are they a pain in your butt?

Who doesn't honestly absolutely love snow days? Sleep in a little late, spend the day with the family.... I love them. Unfortunately, I can't remember the last one we've had. We live in Minnesota. I swear school is never even late anymore.

3. What talent did you wish you had and why?

I wish I was better at art. I absolutely love doing crafts but truth be told I rarely finish them. They never turn out like I plan and I loose interest way to soon. Im good at helping the kids... thats about it.

 

4. Are you a news, politics or celebrity gossip junkie?

No, honestly I couldn't care less. Its not like I know them. Their only human too. Just alot more money.

 

5. What is your favorite "cocktail"? (Are you a beer person, a kiddie cocktail junkie, or perhaps your more the "Cosmo" kind?! Anything flies...doesn't hafta be alcoholic!)

I honestly don't like alcohol. I am however, the diet mountain dew junkie. I can't make it through the day without it.

Five Question Friday

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

We met from a mutual friend. I was 14 and he 15. We dated most of high school and then went our own ways. 8 years later while visiting my home town we ran into each other at a party. 3 months later I moved back to my home town and 3 years later we were married. February 4th marks our 16th Anniversary.

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

I guess I would say the livingroom. We recently redone it and I feel great about it. A fresh coat of paint makes all the difference.

3. Can you wiggle your ears?

Heck no. My husband can but it kind of creeps me out.

4. What is your evening ritual?

Usually I like to watch a little tv but lately since I started my blog I like to relax and unwind working on it.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

I need about 9. However, I seem to function on 6 ok. I drink alot of caffein.
