- What is your favorite blog to visit? Tell us why and post a link please :)
My favorite blog to read is... Well, this is actually really hard for me. I have so many blogs that I follow and read daily that to choose just one feels like I'm choosing a favorite child. So not fair! But I will choose one I guess.... It has to be Lillian's Story. I don't want to explain in detail what her blog is about, you need to read it yourself!
- Do you read? If so what is your favorite book? If not is there a reason?
Of course I read!! My favorite book is from when I was in middle school. The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
- What is your favorite sitcom? Movie? TV Channel?
Ummm Geez. Well my favorite tv channel is the Food Network. What's not to like?! Favorite movie would be... Avengers! And sitcom? Ahhh, I can't answer that one.
- What is your Pet Peeve?
People talking to me when I'm trying to read... Or people who INSIST on giving me advice when I don't ask and questioning decisions that my amazing husband and I have thought about FOR YEARS.
- Why did you start blogging?
January 1, 2012 I made it my "resolution" to blog about our cancer journey and raise awareness of colon cancer (at any age) and infertility. I figured if I could raise some money for our IVF while I was at it (after many friends and people I didn't even know suggested it) then I should go ahead and try. And you know what?! The idea was embraced by many. We are ALMOST to our goal (less than $500 from it, and that's without adding in the latest fundraisers) of $10,000. To say our story has touched many is an understatement. I don't beg for donations, people give willingly. And people give generously. We couldn't be more thankful for every penny, and for every prayer!
- If you could pick someone to play you in a movie about your life, who would you pick?
Oooo I like this one. I'm just going to pick my current-favorite actress, Mila Kunis. LOVE HER. She doesn't look like me, but she's fabulous. So that's who I pick!
- Is there any food that you can not resist?
Ice cream!!!! Specifically Reese's Blizzards from DQ!!!!
- What is your favorite thing to wear? You can post a picture if you want to.
I'm not posting a pic, but I LOVE me some maxi dresses and skirts!! So flowy and light! They are my go-to on weekends!!
- What is your favorite sport? Which team?
HOCKEY and my favorite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins!! My favorite player is Evgeni Malkin!! Go 71!!!!
- Do you have any tips or tricks you have learned since you started your blog? Share any links if you can!
I don't have any links but my best advice is to POST A LOT and encourage people to SHARE SHARE SHARE. I see HUNDREDS more views when just 5+ people share my blog. So, please folks, SHARE THIS THING!! ;)
- And finally, Why should people visit your blog?
Why SHOULDN'T you visit my blog? I mean really! ;) Okay, really I think people should visit my blog because so many people are misinformed on just how OFTEN people are diagnosed with infertility and how YOUNG people are diagnosed with colon cancer. This blog touches on both in a deeply personal way. And you get to share in our experiences right along with us in the fertility department.
