MEME:
Natalee from Raising Normal Kids recently gave me this Meme. She’s a really fun blogger, so be sure to check her out!
2. Apart from your house and car, what is the most expensive item you have ever bought: My pair of Manolo Blahnik’s (well…a girl can dream, right?) Actually, before I had children, I dropped the most money on a gorgeous bag I found in a little boutique in Sicily.
3. What is you most treasured memory? Spending every summer at the Jersey Shore with my Nana.
4. What was the best gift you ever received as a child: A Cabbage Patch doll. Her name was Madella Madda. She had yellow hair made of yarn and big blue eyes. I brought her everywhere. I actually still have her!
5. What is the biggest mistake you have ever made? I think mistakes are made so we can learn from them. I would have to say that I made a poor dating choice in college, but then I wouldn’t have grown as a person if I didn’t have that relationship…lessons learned, sometimes the hard way.
6. 4 words to describe yourself: Outgoing, fun, intelligent, and creative
7. What was your highlight or low light of 2008? It was a highlight, because I gave birth to my baby girl!
8. Favorite Film? “Dirty Dancing”… I know, totally cheesy but I love every bit of it.
9. Tell me one thing I don’t know about you. I turned “Sweet 16” in sunny California when I traveled there for a national high school varsity cheerleading competition.
10. If you were a comic book/strip or cartoon character, who would you be? I would be a blonde version of Betty Boop because she’s totally F-U-N!
The four bloggers I am tagging with this Meme are:
Keeping Up With the Kellys
ACU’s, Stiletto Shoes, and Pretty Pink Tutus
Frugal Mom Knows Best
Frump’s Findings

Congratulations! I have to be honest, I had to look up who Jay Hernandez is – I guess that makes me old or this does – I still don't think I have seen him in anything.
How fantastic! Congratulations on all your awards!
Congratulations on all your awards. I'm so glad that I found your blog…I've loved reading it
It was also fun reading all your answers from the meme. Now, I'll start working on my answers 😉
That meme looks like fun! Congrats on your awards and Congrats to those who received them. Hope you have a good week.
A few things:
I'm gonna grab your button!
Nobody puts Baby in a corner!

ROFL! I just had to share (but first remember I am working my tooshie off with blog issues) I LOVE your new button, and I was aimlessly watching it scroll up my screen and I thought "I wish I had those THETA boobs" ha ha
Anyway, congrats on all your awards, I will start the meme later today
Thank you so much for the award!!! This totally made my day!!!
I'll share a secret with you…one of my favorite movies is Dirty Dancing too. Anytime I happen to catch it on tv, I watch it and I cry every single time when Baby confronts her dad on the porch of their cabin and says "Well, you let me down too, Daddy". I cry a river every single time.
And Steel Magnolias…that's the other movie that I could watch over and over again and still cry every time.
Your blog looks FAB thetamama!!!
Wow, took a little break from blogging and your website is totally changed! I love it!!!!
Congrats on your awards! You deserve every one of them!!!
Keep up the good work!
Congrats on the awards, you deserve them!

My highlight will be the same thing you said for yours because I also gave birth to a baby girl in 2008!
Yay Heather congrats! Babies in 2008 are a sure highlight. And you are one loyal blogging buddy. I loved my CPK's…especially after waiting months…remember that?

Congrats on the awards and Thanks for passing on the love. You are a Rock Star. You make me feel like such a loser! How do you keep up with 2 little ones?
Congratulations on all of your much deserved awards! I left you an award too. Waiting for you 😉
I sent you another award, too! come see!
Very lucky lady! Good for you!
Wow- so glad you're now following me! I'm curious as to how you happened by. And how did you manage over 100 followers in a month of blogging? Please, do tell!
I love the idea of a Theta Mom and I'm grabbing your button now. Well, not right this second. I have to type the word verification first.
Congrats on the wonderful awards! you're on a roll!!! I like the meme:)
Wow, I go back to work and fall behind in the blog world and this is what happens. . .
Your blog looks amazing!!!
Great recognitions getting all these awards.
I liked the answers to the questions in the first award especially number 3.
"Dirty Dancing" is one of my favorite movies too.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOO far behind with blogging, but I plan to catch up over the next 2 days. I have at least two posts planned out in my head where I will be linking directly back to you… one in which you are the main discussion of the post! Hopefully I will get it all done!
So well-deserved, if I had an award it would belong to you!
