Answer Me This end of summer

The last edition of

1. What's your favorite grocery store splurge?

Fresh berries and cheeses. In the summer i get used to such good berries for such  good price and then the prices skyrocket and the quality plummets.  I try to eat stuff seasonally, but every now and then I just want a pint of berries!  Cheese are my year round splurge.  I love a good Gouda but I am the only on the family who really loves cheese so it is a splurge for sure!

2. How's your penmanship?

My penmanship is horrible. And so is my spelling. Put that together and things I write by hand look like they were composed by a middle-schooler.  My handwriting is also inconsistent. I never really developed a style. 

3. Do you have a "Summer Bucket List?"

My Summer bucket list: swim with kids, take big trip with Husband, take little trip with kids, plan-execute VBS at our parish, birthday. I didn't so much have a bucket-list this year. More like a big ToDo list with fun Stuff sprinkled throughout. 

4. What's the best thing on the radio right now?

I don't really like the radio because it generally leads to some discontent in my car. Music is hugely important and anna has recently decided she is all about the classical station much to the dismay of her siblings whoike to bicker over whether we should leave it on Taylor swift or Bruno Mars. I actually like Sam hunts "take your Time". I think it is sweet and it makes me smile. I think at this point in my life time seems so valuable. As a mamma it is in high demand. I willingly but strategically give my time away and see it as a gift, something to be shared, something to be valued. The kids hate the song. 

5. Ice cream or frozen yogurt?

I  definitely a frozen yogurt kind of gal. I love them both, but I feel less guilty with frozen yogurt I guess. I love making the cup myself and sprinkling my own toppings in just the right ratio. That said my absolute favorite is coldstone creamery's sweet cream and strawberries.  Back to those berries I guess!


6. Have you had that baby NOW? (Again, you can skip this one if you want.)
