Depends. I love veggie pizza or pineapple and ham

Haha Dodge Viper!

We are planning on having 3 total. I wanted 4 and hubby wanted 2 so we compromised with 3 lol

When you were little how did you picture your life?

What are your dream dogs?
Mine is a Doberman and hubby's is a Husky

Describe your dream house.
2 stories, 3-4 bedrooms, a sun room, a fire place, a deck and a patio, a green house and a big backyard

What do you find to be the hardest part about being a military wife?
Before I became a mom it was the uncertainty. You can't plan too far in advance because things can change in a second, but now I think it's being an Army-made single mom. I know that Nicholai misses his daddy but there is nothing I can do to get him home any faster. It's hard to deal with my inability to fix that.

What household chore do you enjoy doing? Which one do you hate doing?
I LOVE to cook! I HATE, loathe and detest laundry and folding it.

Favorite season?
I don't really think I have a favorite. I don't like winter though.

Favorite holiday?
Samhain

Favorite time of the day?
1-3 because that is Nicholai's nap time and I can get so much done in those 2 hours lol

What is the most difficult thing about being a parent?
The worry.... about everything. Am I a good mom? Did I make the right choice? If he coughs funny is he ok? I have always been a worrier and I worry about Nicholai a million times more lol

What is one piece of advice you wish someone had told you about being a mom?
Hmmm... don't second guess yourself. From the moment you lay eyes on your baby... you just know. You know what to do to make them happy, you know what works and what doesn't work. You are the mom. Sure... other moms out there have advice and some of it good, but if you don't think something is going to work then don't do it. If you don't think something feels right, go with that feeling. You may feel like you have no clue what you are doing, but trust yourself and you will know. It took me about 2 months to learn that... and if I had known ahead of time I would have been a lot more confident.

When you were little how did you picture your life?
Haha... good question. When I was little I pictured myself as a mom with a lot of kids in a big house with lots of animals. I was insane. Right now 1 can and 1 little boy is all I can handle lol

If you could buy anything.... what would it be?
A full college education for all of my children. No worrying about student loans or anything for my kids... I wish anyway:)

favorite vacation spot?

how many states have you lived in?

favorite vacation spot?
Hmmm... I love Copenhagen! My grammommy took me when I was in 6th grade and I loved it. The culture there is so different.... the landscape is beautiful... flowers and trees and bushes. There is a bike lane that is just like another road so before you cross the street there are 2 bike lanes and then 2 car lanes you have to check. And the bikers are no joke... if you in the way they will run you down lol.

how many states have you lived in?
I've been to a bunch but only lived in 2. New Jersey and North Carolina. Both hubby and I are from Jersey and we miss it. I'm a Jersey girl always.

What is your dream vacation?

If you won the lottery would you spend it, save it or donate it?

What was your first car?

If you could change one physical feature what would it be?

Would you or have you ever considered any kind of cosmetic surgery?

What is your dream vacation?
Hmmm dream vacation.... I have always wanted to go to someplace tropical. White sand, blue water, a rainforest maybe. I love being out in nature and I think it would be such a beautiful relaxing time. Where to go though? lol My dream hasn't gotten that far yet lol

If you won the lottery would you spend it, save it or donate it?
If I won the lottery I would put money aside for each of my children. I would buy a house and hubby's dream car. Donate some to the March of Dimes and pay off any bills, like our SUV for one lol and then save the rest.

What was your first car?
My first car was a 1999 white Pontiac Grand Prix and we still have it. It's now hubby's car.

If you could change one physical feature what would it be?
I wish I could change my hair. This ethnic, hard to manage, coarse hair is sooooo annoying and expensive to maintain. If they ever find a way to change the texture of someones hair for good... sign me up!!

Would you or have you ever considered any kind of cosmetic surgery?
Haha hubby snad I were just talking about this. It depends on which area is worse off after all these children lol. If my boobs are really saggy after all the BFing then they are getting done. But if there is no way to save my tummy and get my flat tummy back (and believe me I'm struggling right now to get it) then I'm getting my tummy done.

I'm totally thread jacking for a second. You should go to Jamaica. It's BEAUTIFUL there.
