Have you ever met someone you simply connected with? You had the same foundational values and felt like you could understand where and what their motivation was mainly because it was so similar to your own? I have met a person just like that is Sherri from God Life Happy Wife. She is a Woman of Faith, A Wife and Devoted Mother. Her Blog is all about being an encouragement to others and she definitely does that. I know when I go by to visit her I can expect to be uplifted, encouraged and even get a bit of Fashion ideas while I’m there 🙂 So having this chance to get to know her even better through #AskAwayFriday is awesome.

Ok, now that you’ve done that welcome to this week’s #AskAwayFriday Sherri sent me over some really great questions so let’s get right to them …
1. You had the opportunity to live in Hawaii for a while, which I’m sure that was an awesome experience. My hubby & I always talk about this. What is one place you would like to live when the kids are grown and gone and it’s just you and your man?
We actually have spoken on this several times and each time we go back to Hawaii. We loved our Aloha home and it was truly a wonderful place to live.
2. I know that you and I have quickly become blogging buddies, but I recently found out through your blog post that we are also birthday buddies celebrating our birthdays on August 6th. Tell me one of your favorite birthday memories?
Do we really!?!?!? Woot! Woot! Go us! I had no idea 😀 My favorite Birthday memory would definitely have to be my 30th because I was on a plane to Hawaii getting ready to see my Hubby after being apart for almost 6 months. I was totting a 10 year old, a 9 month old and 7 months preggers but I was just so happy to be on my way to him none of that mattered. Being reunited with him was definitely my best Birthday present ever!
3. Out of all your kids which one would you say is most like you?
Wow! Toughie. I really can’t pick one because all of them have different aspects of my personality. My Teenager has my anti-social traits. When he is in a crowd you will barely notice him as far as making a scene or even much fuss. The twist to that is he is very popular but he tends to call very few people his ‘friends’. I am the same way.
My oldest Girlie has gained my compulsion with being neat and all things clean. She has a very sharp eye for details and doesn’t like being around or touching anything messy. My youngest Girlie is very tender hearted and often takes things people may not see as hurtful very close to her heart. While my Buddie boy is lovable all day every day and I tend to eat it up since we are probably the only ones in the home who wake up hugging someone…LOL
4. What is a word or phrase that you use a lot?
Haha! Seriously. I say this so much my Hubby can almost beat me to it in certain situations. I can use it as a statement: SERIOUSLY. or even a questions Seriously? It is definitely my GoTo statement and I say a lot with it even though it is technically one word.
5. What is one long term goal you have for your yourself or your blog?
I’ll go with the ‘for my blog’ portion of the question: My long term goal for my Blog is to become a successful source of income for myself. I want to reach a level where I can offer my family opportunities and experiences that may not come through a normal 9-5 job.
6. What is your favorite bible verse that helps you through those crazy “mommy times”?
7. It’s a Saturday afternoon what are you doing?
Hopefully nothing. LOL 🙂 Our weekdays are almost always filled with School, Activities, Homework, Appointments or something! So once the weekend arrives I am all about regrouping recharging and simply being at ease. Occasionally we may have a family birthday party or time with friends but it is still usually rather stress free – no schedule or rushing required.
8. What is your favorite meal to cook?
Ok, I know this is probably so bad but I honestly don’t like cooking. Hubby is the best in the kitchen and so is my Teenager. I cook only because I am always hungry and no one can keep up with my eating needs…LOL
That said, my favorite meal when I am cooking is definitely Chicken Parm (yeah I always shorten it), white rice/spaghetti and mixed veggies. My Kiddies and Hubby all love it and it is definitely filling.
9. If you are anything like me you have changed your look over the years. What was your favorite look and how old were you? *Bonus for a photo.
*NOTE* I only ride Hubby does the driving; but I LOVE posing with the bike 😀
Yes I have changed my look so often. The most recent was maybe 2 years now when I color my hair honey blonde! I had done it in high school before and loved it…unfortunately the color didn’t really come out the way I wanted so it was short lived. It actually started breaking my hair off and was the major reason that I had to decide to do a major chop. I took off around 6 inches! I loved my short cut but I am growing back out now at Hubby’s request 😉
10. You have said that you are a hoodie girl. Since this is one of your favorite looks it’s time to come clean…how many do you own?
Wow! You’re gonna just blow my little spot up, huh? LOL Let me see…I had to go do a count throughout my home because I have hoodies in almost every closet. So, as of today (subject to change at anytime) I have 10!
Sherri asked me to create a cartoon comic of she and I much like the one I did for my #AskAwayFriday exchange with Sarah from Small Town Iowan last week. So here you go Sherri…I hope you like it 😀

I seriously didn't realize how often I said seriously until my son seriously came back to me and responded to something I asked with "Seriously?" And he sounded JUST.LIKE.ME! I knew I had to stop! It was way too much for me! 🙂
I say seriously all the time. So much that Addison now looks at McKenzie and goes "seriously" LOL oops. And look at you hot mama next to that bike. 😉 Have a good weekend, I didn't have a partner this week, boo. 🙁 Chat later!
My recent post Anniversary
Haha! Luckily it hasn’t passed on to my Kiddies yet but they each have their own little catch phrases so I guess they don’t need to borrow mine 🙂 THANKS! There’s something about a bike that will bring out a pose in anyone…LOL Oh No! Send out a tweet perhaps…I’m sure someone will respond. If not I’ll definitely being seeing you around the BlogWorld…Have a great weekend!
I say seriously all the time, too!!
I go back and forth on the hoodie – sometimes I love them and sometimes not so much. I think because I can't stand having my hair inside the hoodie, so I have to pull it up when I wear one. I have issues – I know! 😉
Have a great weekend Tiffany!
My recent post Ask Away Friday with Danielle!
LOL..funniest thing. I only wear the hood when it\’s raining.. 😀 I just love the feel of a hood and the pockets and the look! I guess we both have issues 😉
Whew girly look at you! Smokin hot! LOL! Loved the comic! 🙂 Isn't #AAF/blogging great for friendship!
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
My recent post #AskAwayFriday week 34- Getting Real with Rabia from the Lieber Family!
Thanks! Making those comics are fun…LOL #AAF is definitely a great way to connect with new Bloggers and get to know friends better… I hope your weekend is off to a great start!
I love your cartoon!
I'm totally a hoodie girl but I don't have ANY right now. So sad. I need a nice new warm one.
And I seriously say seriously all day long.
My recent post The Triple Threat.
Wow, your hair was really long. I have only dyed my hair a two times, I’m always afraid of damaging it. Hawaii is one of the places that I would like to visit. It is also on my 6 year olds wish list. When our kids get a little older hopefully we can plan a trip.
Yeah…lol…I go through phases where I let it grow and then chop it off. This chop was due to the damage from that color though. I\’m in the process of growing it back out…Hubby loves it long 🙂
Hawaii is a must see for anyone. I hope you get there…
Hi Tiffany I'm glad we got to do this and share. The more I'm getting to know about you the more I'm finding out we have in common. Lol! My hubby has a bike too. I've only rode on it once though. I like the photos. You look like a natural on that bike. Thank you for making the cartoon I love it! Also thanks again for last night. I couldn't have done it without you & all your support. ~Sherri
My recent post #AskAwayFriday With Tiffany From MrsTeeLoveLifeLaughter
Hey! It was a blast and I\’m glad we connected. He does? That\’s so funny! I love going for rides with Hubby…it\’s a bit of \’us\’ time and even though there are times I\’m like Slow Down! I still have fun 😀 I\’m glad you like the cartoon…I have fun making those…
Last night was amazing and you did great! Thank YOU for thinking of me and inviting me to be a part.
Oh I love the little cartoon pic! That is just too cute! I find it so fascinating seeing all of the different personality traits, some good and some not so good, in each of my kids…some of me and some of their dad's it really does make for some interesting personalities! LOL! Love the bike, hubby used to have a Vulcan Classic that I loved nothing more than to be on the back of with him. Great times to just toodle around and see the sights. I totally love a good lazy Saturday! Hope you get one this weekend! LOL! Have a great one!
My recent post #AskAwayFriday 34 With Bev from Linkouture!
Hey Stacey! Thanks…Sherri saw the cartoon I made with Sarah last week and wanted one..they\’re actually a lot of fun to make 😀
Having 6 Kiddies is definitely a way to help you spot differences in personalities…LOL…but it is always fun (and a challenge) to get to know them and learn how to deal with each one respectively.
Yes! That bike is Hubby\’s 7th baby…LOL There is nothing like a long ride on a warm day. Very calming and serene even on a sports bike 🙂
I hope you have a lazy Saturday in your not so distant future! 😉
