**Disclaimer**

MS Mom of the Week is a fun way for us to get to know the Mommysavers members. The Mom of the Week is randomly selected a week in advance of her being featured. I do this so I can contact you, let you know your feature date, and arrange to receive from you a picture of yourself and/or you and your kids to include with the survey. Having a picture included with the survey is so we can make it a little more personal and put a name to a face. This is optional of course, as are all the questions being asked. If I don’t hear back from you before your “feature” date, I will randomly select the next person and then get back to you the next round. Mom of the Week will be featured on Monday mornings. Please keep in mind you are free to answer as many or as few of the questions as you want. This entire thing is on a voluntary basis. Newbies to the board as well as regulars are welcome to participate. If you are interested in participating please PM Christy_K_ and we will get you signed up. We look forward to getting to know you!!


Let’s get started!!!

EMBERNEVILL copy and paste these questions onto a new post and answer away!!


What is your first name?

What are your kids’ names?

Were you ready for motherhood?

Have you ever met someone who has completely inspired you to be a better person? Can you tell us about that relationship and how it has affected you?

Do you have any nervous habits? What are they?

Did you ever date a guy your parents did not like? Were they right about him?

What do you want your kids to remember the most about you?

What did you learn the most from your mother?

How many coupons do you use on a regular basis? What is your best money saving tip?

How did you find Mommysavers? Have you referred anyone here? Were you referred here?

Out of all the things the members here have offered in terms of advice, support, counsel and criticism, what have you personally benefited from? And do you remember specifically who the member was that offered that advice?

Have you ever met a mommysaver?

What is the most romantic thing your dh ever did for you?

Tell us five things you like about yourself.

What hobby do you enjoy the most? What got you started on it? How would you rate yourself? Can you show us a picture of your proudest piece of work?

How many frogs did you kiss before you found Mr. Right? Was he worth the wait?

What is your favorite genre of music? Who is your favorite group? Have you ever seen them in concert?

What do you see your children growing up to be like? What career path would they choose?

Is there something we would never guess about you? Some kind or quirk you have no one close to you knows about. (C’mon tell us!!!!)

Are there words you live by? What are they?

What is your first name? Emburrito

What are your kids’ names? Bailey (4), Brooke (2), DJ (4.5 mo)

Were you ready for motherhood? No, gotta say that Miss. Bailey was a surprise. I was busy working my way through school. But, I wouldnt change anything.

Have you ever met someone who has completely inspired you to be a better person? Can you tell us about that relationship and how it has affected you? I have a lot of friends that inspire me and I try to be better at everything but I seem to have a bad habit of falling back to how I was before. lol

Do you have any nervous habits? What are they? Biting my nails and bouncing my leg.

Did you ever date a guy your parents did not like? Were they right about him? I wouldnt say I really 'dated' guys. lol I've only have a few real relationships. My parents are divorced and I lived with my mother while in High School. She pretty much let me do what I wanted... but I will say we had a very close relationship and I told her everything. If my Dad were around... Im sure he would have hated any guy I was around. But he loves Darren (my dh) so it all worked out.

What do you want your kids to remember the most about you? My loyalty, how much I love them *no matter what*, how to be happy with what you have, not to care what others think, and how to have self respect

What did you learn the most from your mother? Self respect, hard work, creativity, gratefulness

How many coupons do you use on a regular basis? What is your best money saving tip? On average about 10 I would say. I use to be a cashier at Tom Thumb... and I would have these women come through my line with a $100 in groceries and leave only paying $5!!! I was shocked. Needless to say.. thats when I started clipping coupons. They work.

How did you find Mommysavers? Have you referred anyone here? Were you referred here? I was on a yahoo frugal group and someone kept posting money saving links that came from ms.. so I checked it out and was hooked. I have NOT referred anyone to ms because its my secret hiding place.

Out of all the things the members here have offered in terms of advice, support, counsel and criticism, what have you personally benefited from? And do you remember specifically who the member was that offered that advice? Gosh.. I get tons of great ideas, advice and tips ALL the time!!! From everyone!

Have you ever met a mommysaver? One. Satwood (Stephanie) but Im meeting more next year. A few in OK and then a few are coming to my Scrapbook Retreat in July!

What is the most romantic thing your dh ever did for you? Phhh uhhhh..... foreplay?

Tell us five things you like about yourself. Creative, Wit, Height, *Was once* very athletic, Smart.

What hobby do you enjoy the most? What got you started on it? How would you rate yourself? Can you show us a picture of your proudest piece of work? Scrapbooking, got into it by going to a Creative Memories party, my most proud? uhh.. I dont know what that would be.. but here is a pic of a page. lol

I like to think Im good... but Ive seen better!

How many frogs did you kiss before you found Mr. Right? Was he worth the wait? Uh lets not go there. He was worth the wait... and I will say... he came when I least expected it!

What is your favorite genre of music? Who is your favorite group? Have you ever seen them in concert? FAVORITE? Prolly alternative.. I love Bush.. yes I have seen them.

What do you see your children growing up to be like? What career path would they choose? Bailey is crazy. I see her being on top of the world.. whatever she does she is going to be GOOD at it. She knows what she wants and gets what she wants. I think she's going to be extremely successful. Brooke.. I can see working with kids or animals.. she's such a nurturer. DJ.. I dont know yet.. his personality is just starting to come out.. if it was up to Daddy probably some kind of professional ball player. lol

Is there something we would never guess about you? Some kind or quirk you have no one close to you knows about. (C’mon tell us!!!!) Well... my good friends know me pretty well.. Im freaky, gossipy, and crazy. Sarcastic and bitchy. Well... not bitchy... but it might come off like that until you get to know me.

Are there words you live by? What are they? Always think twice... This phrase has saved my butt more times than I care to count!
