Liebster Nomination #2- WOO HOO!

I just read some exciting news on my blog! I was nominated for a second Liebster Award and I am so excited and honored :) This time around, it was the lovely Michelle over at Miss, Hey Miss (LOVE your blog name by the way!) and she is seriously one of the sweetest bloggers out there (not to mention her blog- ROCKS!) Thank you Michelle! :)

Since this is the second nomination for me- you can read more about this award and what it means in my first post here.

These are the questions that Michelle asked me!

~What/Who made you decide to be a teacher?
...My older sister is a huge inspiration for me. She has always just jumped head first into life without any regrets and I love that. She has truly inspired me to go after MY dreams and aspirations and not anyone else's!

~Where did you grow up? 
...I was born in Tampa, Florida but grew up just west in the Brandon/Valrico, Florida area. We had strawberry fields, orange groves, and fruit stands pretty much in every direction if you looked out our backdoor. I loved it! It has since changed so much and I much prefer it here in quiet and small Newberry, Florida :)

~What is your favorite holiday?
...CHRISTMAS!!!!! I am such a Christmas freak! I start decorating the day after Thanksgiving if possible (sometimes before if my hubby lets me ;) ) Shopping, family time, baking, gift wrapping, tree decorating, house lights… You name and I love it… Not to mention I can pretty much recite the entire movie Elf… Don't judge- you know you love it too! ;) 

~On Pinterest, what board to you pin to most frequently?
...For my teaching Pinterest board- I would say my "Organized is a Happy Classroom" board.. I believe organization is the key to success!
...My personal Pinterest  board would be my "Baking Up Some Fun" board.. I have over 600 pins just on that board! HAHA! I <3 me some baking!

~Google, Yahoo, or Bing? Other?
...Google- i use it for EVERYTHING!

~What kind of vehicle do you drive? Does this say anything about your personality?
...I drive a Pontiac Torrent- its an SUV and I need one to travel with my pups to see my family in Tampa :) I wouldn't say it displays my personality though.. If I were to be honest, and I had tons of money laying around- I would definitely drive a BMW X5! :-P I have expensive taste I guess! :)

~Do you have any special talents? 
...I can sew pretty much anything you want! All I need is a visual and I can do it!

~Mechanical pencil or old school #2?
...I  love mechanical pencils if they are the good brands because it cuts down on SO much sharpening! I think pencil sharpening is my pet peeve.. lol! 

~When you were a child, what did you 'want to be when you grew up'?
...I was convinced that I wanted to be a Veterinarian all the way until about 3 years ago! That's when faith took over and reality sank in that my path was created for teaching :)
