The Real Housewife of Caroline County

Without further adieu let's kick off Week 11 of #AskAwayFriday!!! My partner this week is actually the same as last week but due to an accident we weren't able to exchange so we did this week...everyone meet my BFF Lauren from The Real Housewife of NOVA!  She's a talented lady and so very sweet...it's been awesome getting to know her and I can't wait for us to get together in 2 weeks at an event!!  Lauren got pretty creative with her questions so here we go!!

1.  What is the one thing that literally makes you LOL (can be a book, show, whatever)?  Usually my husband, he's always doing or saying something crazy...my LOL is usually a "I can't believe I married this man" but in a good way!

2.  I'm coming over for dinner, what are you making me?  What's your signature dish?  If you don't cook what's your signature take out order? Oh I'm cooking Miss Lauren!  I would say it's probably a 3 way tie between my 1) penne pasta with bolognese sauce 2) angel hair pasta with shrimp in a lemon butter garlic sauce or 3) creamed chicken with rice...my hubby loves all these and we have them all at least 1 time a week!

3.  What are the words you live by?  "Trust in Life, Trust in Love" I think trust is essential in love and life, without it you are in the dark.

4.  How did you chose your wedding date? Honestly, based on my return to work from maternity leave haha it's actually a week after my husbands birthday so it's easy for him to remember and the chapel in Las Vegas had an opening!

5.  Tell me something I would never guess about you?  I will only eat one kind of lunch meat (ham) and only if it's warmed up and browned in a skillet...I know, I'm weird, I accept it!

6.  What is the project you are most proud of in your home?  The whole thing! It's ours, we did it 100%.  Thankfully hubby leaves all the decorating to me.  It's not perfect yet but I have it at a place that I'm happy with.

7.  What is one tradition you want to keep up year to year with your girls at the holidays?  I don't care how old they get, I always want them home on Christmas morning...I know it's unrealistic but for the next 18 years I will have my way!  Also, getting cute PJ's that match (maybe just bottoms) that we all wear and take that cheesy family portrait.  I don't have a lot of positive memories with holidays growing up so I want to give the girls all that and more.

8.  What is your most prized possession?  I could get cliche here and say my wedding rings, my kids or my marriage but I'll go outside the box and say my Louis Vuitton bag...I just love it.  I bought it myself, my first big purchase and I can't wait until I can use it again instead of a diaper bag.

9.  What is your guilty pleasure?  Probably my reality TV shows...I know they are corny but I like them...it's nice to see that some else has a much more messed up life than I do.  I mean have you ever watched Teen Mom or 16 and Pregnant?  If I ever feel crappy about my hubby I watch one of those and I instantly know I married a saint who puts up with me!

10.  What is your favorite holiday?  Since my birthday doesn't count I'd say Mother's Day.  It's all about me as a mom and the girls will be at an age next year that they can tell me they love me and give me presents in bed and help David with everything. 

Awesome questions right?  Love them!  Thank you so much for exchanging with me and I can't wait to read Lauren's answers to my questions...especially the "what's in your purse"!

    1. haha it's my LV and I love it! I have a big Michael Kors I try to use as a diaper bag but I carry so much stuff for the girls...I should just outfit the car so or leave a diaper bag in the car and just take a purse with me and know that it's there if I need it!

    2. WAIT, "YOU" have that LV bag! Excuse me, I stand corrected, haha.

      You don't want Louis to get all dusty and lonely now, do you?

  2. Great questions! I feel the exact same way about Christmas. I don't even want to imagine that day when Eli won't be there on Christmas morning, but I guess I'll just have to go stay at his house then ;) haha

  3. Love the questions and your answers of course! Again we share something...I only eat Turkey and it has to be honey roasted and definitely not cold...room temp maybe warmed up best. :D

    I LOVE My Louis too...Hubby's first major gift to me...it was my after baby gift for my Big Girlie :D

    1. which one do you have? I used to have 1 more but I sold it to a girlfriend because it was too small for me to use.

      I just can't do cold meat...haha it's not as weird as I thought then!

  4. Awww, last year was the first year we didn't sleep at my parents house and I'm 31! I'm still just as attached to Christmas mornings at home as ever, but I figure it's time to make our own family memories! We still go to my parents for overnight french toast though! PS- My husband loves Teen Mom!!

    1. Yeah I've always been with my family too but this year we changed up the schedule because it's important for us to have the girls at home on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning...we will still see everyone just had to switch it up to make our own traditions!

  6. -Aww we wear match-y Christmas jams too!
    -Warmed up ham... so I imagine a sandwich shop isn't on you top places to go eat, eh?
    -Oh, and when we finally meet up I'll take the angel hair pasta with shrimp in a lemon butter garlic sauce :)
    -And, yes, I feel the same way about my reality tv!

    1. thank you! they really are true words and I only learned to enjoy cooking recently so I'm learning new recipes all the time!

  8. That's funny about the ham! My husband is similar. And I only like lunch meats cold, and I don't like when they touch vegetables. I'm all for vegetables, on the side. I'm weird!
