20 questions and a GIVEAWAY with The Little Illustrator

I've had a running around like a chicken with it's head cut-off kind of week
Hence the being awol the last couple days
But, I'm here to make it up to you
with an awesome giveaway from Jen at The Little Illustrator
I "met" Jen via twitter and fell in love with her adorable illustrations,
I gave Jeremy this print for Christmas & it hangs in our bedroom above our Livy Love Designs print.
fun fact: you can personalize the hair color so that it matches you and your lovely love person that you love

Jennifer is so kind to give one reader a $40 credit to her shop!
But, before we get to that, let's get to know her better with 20 questions!


1.   what one word would you use to describe your business?  Cute
{i totally agree!! see image above for proof ;)}


2. what one word would you use to describe yourself? Dedicated


3. Do you have children?  I have four children.  1 girl and 3 boys.  My 15 year old daughter, Carly, is a typical teen.  If you have one, you know exactly what I mean. =)  She is a sweet girl though and a wonderful big sister and daughter.  Chance is my 2 1/2 year old.  He is full of energy and is very intense and passionate about life.  Camden, also known as "little bird" is 1 1/2.  He was born with a genetic abnormality, which makes him short stature.  We also recently just learned that he has some brain damage.  It has been a rough year and a half but he is more than worth it.  He is truly a remarkable.  Cellan is my baby.  He is 6, almost 7 months, and is such a little love.  He is so cuddly and has the sweetest disposition.
{I don't know how Jen does it 3 under 3 plus a teen, she deserves an award!}

4.  what's your favorite color?  I love black.  I think I began to love black when I was a hair stylist, which was in another life before three babies in a row ;),  and that's all I ever wore.  Oh and also, it makes me look slimmer as I try desperately to lose this last little bit of baby weight!!!


5.  Which do you prefer hot chocolate or coffee?  Coffee


6.  if you could have a super power what would it be?  I would love to be able to never need sleep.  The days would last forever and while my kids slept I could be up doing what I love, drawing.

7.  which do you prefer the beach or the mountains? Beach

8.  favorite season?  Fall


9.  favorite pizza toppings?  Cheese


10.  night owl or early bird?  Night Owl


11.  favorite TV show or movie?  Grey's Anatomy


12.  what is your guilty pleasure?  Candy :\


13.  what is your favorite phone app?  Fitness Pal

14.   what is your most embarassing moment?  Looking for my keys for 10 min and realizing that they were in the ignition the whole time, which was causing the annoying dinging I somehow didn't hear.

15.  what's your favorite ice cream flavor?  Red Velvet

16.  how did you meet your spouse?  He taught my daughter

17.  what's one food you can't live without?  I thought it was sweets, until I gave it up for Lent and realized I can indeed live without it!!!!  Although not a food, I would probably die without Coke Zero

18.  what was the happiest day of your life?  Meeting my husband

19.   favorite sport?  Ummm.....I'm not a big sports girl

20.   name one item on your bucket list  To go to Fiji
