Seven Facts About Me: 

1. I am the oldest of four children and loved growing up in a big, loud, crazy family. But I'm not sure I could handle four of my own!

2. I was born in California but raised in Connecticut, in the same town where I now live with my husband and baby girl. 

3. My first child is a bulldog fur baby named Henry.  

4. I met my husband in the fall of 2012 and married him just over a year later.  

5. I grew up practicing synchronized swimming during the summers. To this day, I can't resist a back dolphin whenever I'm near a body of water.

6. I have my grandfathers birthdate {6.11.32} tattooed on my wrist; I went into labor with Madeline on the same month and date of 2015, but she didn't come until early the next morning.

7. I can never say no to a slice of cake.

 RULES FOR THE BLOGGER RECOGNITION AWARD:

If you were nominated and don’t want to participate, don’t worry about it, that’s perfectly fine. If you do...

1. Make sure to thank the person that nominated you and include a link to their blog!
2. Nominate your own 15 favorite bloggers! (You can do more if you just can’t choose!) They don’t have to belong to just one niche, the more variety the better.
3. Share links to all of your nominees and let them know that you nominated them!
