{Chelsea's questions}

What is your favorite song lyric and why? 

♥ "They let us play with markers, but I keep trying to draw infinity" in the song "The Church Channel" by Say Anything. They have been my favorite band for a long time, and I've always connected with the lead singer, Max Bemis.

What is an average day in your life like?

♥  I try to not let any day just be average. I like to embark on something creative everyday, as well as taking long walks/runs with my awesome hubby + puppy. Our runs are more frolicking and galavanting than trying to keep a serious pace.

Sweet food or spicy food?

♥ Well I don't like spicy at all, and I rarely crave something sweet. 

Why did you start blogging? 

♥ I love that it's a unique way to express yourself, and connect/relate to others.

If you were on a desert island and could have one person with you, what person would that be and why?

♥ Hands down my husband. I have more fun with him than anyone else in the world. We laugh, play, and he makes the most mundane things interesting.

Where do you find inspiration? 

♥ Pinterest, and history.

What are your goals for the next five years? 

♥ I want to move somewhere with seasons {obviously completely opposite of Arizona}, buy a house with a backyard for Joker to run around in, and visit Europe again.

What are three things you wish would disappear from the world/your life?

♥ Poverty, Excessive Social Media, and for something trivial: the Arizona summer heat.

What do you do in your spare time?

♥ Hike, kayak, and all things crafty :)

What are your guilty pleasures? 

♥ I try not to feel guilty for the things that I enjoy, but I can't help but going on wwzdw.com. Please don't judge me, but I love all the outfits Zooey Deschanel wears in New Girl.

What is your biggest dream?

♥ To be a mom.
