H&H Interview with Jennifer:

1. What are the top 3 items in your grocery cart?

Fat-free milk, bananas, multi-seed crackers

2. What are you reading (honestly)?

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child—a must-read for any parent. Justin sleeps from around 7pm until about 5:30 or 6am thanks to implementation of some tips from this book!

3. What is your guilty pleasure when you get a break from the kids?

Pedicures with one of my best girls

4. What would we be surprised to find in your purse?

One of those old school hair picks that we used to use for our permed hair in high school in the 80’s. Fits in the in the purse far better than a brush.

5. What is your favorite reality TV show?

I don’t really have a favorite, but I have to admit to watching a few episodes of Hoarders and Supernanny.

6. What is your cocktail of choice?

It’s a tossup between red wine & grape vodka with soda.

7. What is the funniest thing your kids have said or done lately?

Justin doesn’t talk yet, but the faces & noises he made when trying his first “real” food (green beans) a few days ago were hilarious.

8. What is your favorite quotation?

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass. -Maya Angelou

9. What are you currently working out to on your iPod?

A crazy mix of Usher, Gnarls Barkley, Kings of Leon, Blues Traveler, and Jason Mraz

10. Who is your favorite celebrity mom and why?

I know so many amazing everyday moms that it doesn’t seem fair to mention a celebrity. Celebrities already receive enough accolades, right? Everyday moms are chronically underappreciated.

11. What is something most people don’t know about you?

I absolutely despise talking on the phone.
