Hi and welcome to my first Guest Blogger post.
If you missed my announcement you can read more about this series here
My very first guest is the lovely Michelle her blog is called Home, Love & Life As I Live It
I met Michelle through blogging and we connected instantly. We have so much in common and I have really enjoyed getting to know her better and chatting throughout the day on Facebook or via emails.
Michelle happily offered to be my guest and graciously shared more about her and her life. I hope you enjoy getting to know her better as much as I have.
Why did you
start to blog and how long have you been blogging?
I started Blogging because I love to write and get to
know different people. I hoped my blog would lead me to people with similar
interests to myself and thankfully it has. I have been blogging for 9 months
now and I love it each and every day and enjoy reading fellow bloggers blogs as
well.
What do you
mainly blog about?
I blog mostly about my life, family, decorating my
house and life in general. If I should learn a new skill then I like to pass
that on to my readers as I believe we can all teach each other something even
if we think we can’t.
What does a
normal day look like for you?
A normal day for me starts at 5am when I get up with
Chris as he’s getting ready for work. Once he’s left I make a coffee, sit down
with my laptop while everyone else is asleep and blog or catch up on blog
reading or emails. I like to do this early as it’s the only time of day I have
complete quiet. Then once Bec and Luke are up (usually around 7am) the day
starts with the usual breakfast, then tidying up, maybe run a few errands in town
and then home to some gardening, looking after crazy animals and planning how
to decorate the rest of my new home.
Most used small
appliance in your kitchen?
This would undoubtedly have to be my coffee
machine....I can’t go a day without a good cup of coffee and though I try not
to drink too much some days I just need more than one cup J
Do you buy
things for your house because they look pretty or because they are functional
and serve a purpose?
Hmmm this is a tough one....I would have to say a bit
of both...I recently bought a new doona cover as I’m decorating with a new
scheme and have to say this doona cover was bought purely out of
prettiness.....I always try to buy for functionality first but sometimes
functional isn’t pretty enough so I’ll wait and see if something pretty and
functional combined will come along.
What is your
dream job?
This is hard as I have a lot of interests which I would
love to turn into a career....my first and foremost dream job has always been
to be a hairdresser...these days I would love to write a column of some sort,
interior designer or a photographer.....
Do you have a
major goal this year and what is it?
In the blog world for myself my goal would be to
develop my blog to the best it can be and have a whole lot of new visitors.
Personally my biggest goal would be to become a mum again....
we’ll just have to
wait and see how that one goes..... J
Where do you get
your inspiration from?
I think I get most of my inspiration from what’s going
on around me within my family and friends. I also find I have some amazing
friends (they know who they are) who inspire and encourage me when others don't.
If I find I'm lacking inspiration then I head to the beach as I find some time
there always refreshes my mind and soul.
Are you a
homebody or a traveller?
I think I would class myself as both...I love my home
and my creature comforts but I love to get on the road and explore new places.
Ideally I would love to take a year to travel and take lots of photos but I
think that will be waiting until Chris retires..
How do you
relax?
I love music and I’m a huge country music fan...yes
people I love the country so stop with the faces hehehe.....I find even if I
have work to do as long as the music is going then I'm relaxed. However when
I'm just 'relaxing' I love to have a coffee and a chat with a good friend or go
for a drive with Chris and obviously when the weather is good it's straight to
the beach for me.
Thank you Michelle for being my first Guest Blogger, it was so lovely to learn more about you and your life.
