You Asked, We Answered part 3

We were so overwhelmed (and excited) with all of the wonderful questions you all asked when we opened up the floor a few weeks ago, in celebration of 400 Posts and STILL Talking!! . We have loved answering these questions over dinner and the conversation that some of them have sparked has been so much fun. Thanks for that. I am back on track and I am trying to post a few people's questions once a week. Part 1 is HERE. Part 2 is HERE.

Jen asked:

Mamarazzi- How much time do you spend "playing" on the computer each day?
“Playing? Hmmm. Blogging is my FREE therapy and connection to a lot of people that I love. So I check in with my peeps throughout the day”
Big Daddy-Do you, or have you ever thought to, blog?
“popular question, I maintain a private blog, I update it once or twice a week for family and far away friends ”
Jordan- Do you and your friends think your mom is as cool as we do?
"Yes she knows good fashion and throws really good parties. My friends like to come to our house all the time because we know how to party here. Did you see what we did for my 13th Birthday?”

Jamie asked:

Mama - What was your motivation to start a blog?
“It started out as a way to journal about the adventures that my little family went on. Then it became all about Jordan and documenting her life so she could have something to refer to as she grows up. THEN it turned into a place where I connected with amazing women who were living parallel lives. Now I think it is a mixture of all three and I feel like after 3 years of blogging I have found my bloggy voice.”
Big Daddy - Broccoli or Cauliflower?
“Broccoli, I don’t like the texture of cauliflower”
Jordan - hypothetically speaking -You get your pet chinchilla...What is his or her name?
“If it’s a girl, Princess and if it is a boy Hercules II. Hercules is a really great name for such a small animal. It makes me laugh.”

Andrea asked:

MAMARAZZI: What is the best gift that Big Daddy has ever given you?
“The gift of Motherhood. My life is forever changed and blessed because of it.”
JORDAN: What is your favorite game that you play with your family after dinner?
“I like UNO Attacks cuz I can kick butt in that game.”
BIG DADDY: What was the moment that you knew you were in love with Mamarazzi?
“When she broke up with me after we had been dating for a while. It’s a long story but I was a wreck and I knew I needed her in my life so I stuck close by, played the friend card while she dated around, and eventually she figured it all out and asked me to marry her.”

{leah} asked:

Mamarazzi: What is one thing you did in your youth that your parents still don't know about?
(Mom, is that you?) My parents read this blog honey…I am not falling for that one! ;)
Big Daddy: Was your first kiss with Mamarazzi planned?
“No, I am really shy. I am sure Mamarazzi was thinking it was never going to happen.”
Jordan: If you could have one uncommon pet {not dog cat ect.} what would it be? “Definitely a chinchilla. I have brought home my science class’s chinchilla, Hercules, a few times and I really want one of my own someday.”
OK stay tuned more answers to your questions next week! In the meantime if you have a minute here is a GREAT article I am dying to share with y'all, it's short but you are gonna love the message. Check it out.

Have I told you what an awesome family I think you have? Oh, probably a hundred times, at least! LOL!

haha...now that mom and dad read regularly, you won't be making ANY confessions on this blog! You should throw your readers a story of something naughty you did as a kid that mom and dad DO already know about. It's really a shame that a "doughnut tree" didn't emerge in the backyard of the Gilroy house after those "seeds" you and scotty planted there long ago.

Mmmm a doughnut tree. How awesome would THAT be?!

Seriously. I have issues. How am I not super fat?
