Today’s date – February 29th – isn’t on the calendar every year. If not for this extra day every four years, the year as we know it would cease to exist. This leap year shift keeps the calendar in line with our seasons.
In honor of the extra day this month our blogging friend, Jessica, created a fun little meme with a list of questions for a group of us to answer on our own blogs. It was fun to join in, and super easy, too! (Find out how you can join us below.)
Here’s a peak in to my head…
1. My childhood nicknames, coined ever so lovingly by my Dad, were Chrissy Pissy, Christiney Weeny Bambini and Chriserella. No, I am not joking. Yup… lot’s o’ love!
2. If you want to spoil me rotten, buy me anything that shows me how much you care. Seriously, it’s THAT easy.
3. The television character I most identify with is Debra Baron from Everybody Loves Raymond. If you’ve seen the show and know me, even a little, you’ll know why!
4. If I had a whole day to go shopping and money to spend, I would go to Ikea. Oh, how I would love to decorate my home and make it warm and cozy.
5. The most wild and crazy thing I have ever done (that I can admit to publicly) is have seven children. I’m told that’s wild and crazy… But, really? It’s just my life.
6. The one thing on my bucket list that I am most eager to do is spend a significant amount of time in Italy. Exploring, learning, enjoying, living.
7. My family will always be loyal to each other.
8. If I could spend a day with a celebrity I would choose to hang with Duff Goldman from Charm City Cakes and Ace of Cakes. What could be better than creating beautiful works of art that you can EAT with a master pastry chef?
9. In my opinion, the best invention in the history of the world is the washing machine. I mean, could you even imagine washing nine people’s dirty laundry by hand? No, thanks!
10. When life hands me lemons, I make Lemon Drops! Mmmm!!

Do I love your header or what? Oh, yes, I do!!! And I agree, having seven kids is crazy and I adore you and what kind of super mom you are. I have enough in three! And sign me up for the shopping spree in IKEA!

Ikea…oh how I love thee, and your delicious meat balls.
And…doing laundry for 9 people is hard for me to imagine even with a washing machine. Phew! You go!
I get the you’re like “Deborah” comment from my family a lot! You win hands down on the wildest thing, – 7 kids! You must have so much joy in your home. Enjoyed reading this.

Oh my gosh! I picked Debra, too! lol. I knew I liked you.
Debra and the big family thing….there must be a connection.

Your nicknames are a stitch. I wouldn’t have guessed! Ikea is on my shopping list too and our families will need to prove their loyalty to us by letting us go shopping for the day! Together would be ideal.

The nicknames are really such fun! Love them! I don’t know how you do it with so many kids but I love it! My dad is one of 8 and I love how many cousins I have, and the fabulous family gtg’s! It’s really an amazing experience!

I love your answer to spoil me rotten. SO true! Just think about it for a minute and it’ really is THAT easy.

So fun! I think the most wild and crazy thing I’ve ever done was get a tattoo… yeah, my parents weren’t thrilled, but hey, at least I was 21 and I still like it!
Also, yes, the washing machine. Especially when you have a sick house…
My dad called (calls) me Widget. And then when I was in high school some of the guys on the track team took my last name and started calling me The Bibbonator. And then some teachers picked up on it. Yeah, not so happy about that one!
I’ve heard that the more nicknames you have, the more you are liked/loved.
Oh, and LOVE your loyalty answer – exactly the same as mine.

What an inspiring idea! You made me even want to write my own post! Thankfully the toddlers naptime agreed. ; )
Oh and btw I had a hard time thinking of something besides a washing machine myself. You’re dead on with that one.
