Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Ours was super full with an out of town wedding on Saturday and finishing the fence yesterday. Fortunately, it’s done, which is a huge weight off our shoulders. So glad we can check that off our list!
I know on Friday I eluded to a giveaway today, but after the busy weekend we had I didn’t get a chance to finish it up. My apologies. But it will be ready tomorrow, so remember to come back to see what we’re giving away!
You know those “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” pieces in Us Weekly? Well I thought it would be fun to do one here on the blog. So here you go!
25 things you don’t know about me.
1. I have never lived more than 120 miles from my hometown.
2. I bite my nails. (Eek! I hate that about myself. Such a hard habit to break. But I’m working on it.)
3. I was a cheerleader in high school.
4. I got into my first car accident 2 hours after getting my first car. In the high school parking lot (luckily it wasn’t my fault).
5. I gave birth to Little A the day after we moved into our current home.
6. I was in the best shape of my life 6 months after having Little A. I hope to get back there some day.
7. My career goal when I was a kid was to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
8. I played the flute in school, but wish I’d stuck with piano.
9. I am a terrible singer, but I know the words to thousands of songs and sing along to all of them.
10. Even though I went to college in state, my goal was to go out of state (I actually wanted to get as far away as possible). Cost was the deciding factor.
11. I had never been on a hike until I met my husband.
12. I used to snowboard, but my hubby is a skier so I converted and couldn’t be happier. It’s so much easier!
13. I really want to get a tattoo but I’m so afraid of #1 the pain, #2 that I’ll regret it, that I keep postponing it.
14. I always wanted to visit Neuschwanstein Castle and never thought I would get the opportunity. Then my hubby proposed to me there. 🙂
15. My first job was as a hostess at a Mexican restaurant.
16. My favorite movie for the longest time was Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken. Now it’s Shawshank Redemption, followed closely by about 15 other movies.
17. I cannot watch movies where animals (especially horses) get hurt or killed. Yes, I know it’s not real, but I still can’t watch. And I get angry.
18. I share a birthday with Pink, Brooke Burke Charvet, David Arquette, and JTT (that’s Jonathan Taylor Thomas for those of you that aren’t my age) and the late great Patsy Cline.
19. I’m not afraid to try new foods. Except bugs or anything that’s still living.
20. I had 2 horses when I was young. One died, then the other one tried to buck me off in a show so my parents sold him.
21. My favorite city in the US is New York City.
22. My favorite country is Italy.
23. I could spend almost every evening just sitting with my hubby on the couch watching a good show or movie and be totally content.
24. I can’t stand when people try to brag about themselves by showing you how much they know, especially in the workplace (you know the kind of people I’m talking about).
25. I’m still friends with girls I’ve known since preschool. That’s a heck of a long time.
Your turn! Pick 3 numbers above and tell me something about yourself I may not know!
Love this, Tiffany!!
Totally me too: 3,9,10,13,16 (oh my I loved that movie growing up!), 23,24,25
Only thing…NYC is definitely not my favorite city. I do love visiting it but the concrete and not-very-polite people would get to me. Fun to go on vacation though! From what I’ve seen, I think Gatlinburg, TN is my favorite city 🙂
Also, I was totally in love with JTT growing up…him and Jonathan Brandis.
Haha loved reading through these!! Okay – I too played the flute (wish I would’ve stuck with the violin), I totally a remember hot little JTT (haha!) and NYC is my favorite city too!!! So interesting to read all these things about you!
Fun!!! Love this! #4 oh my gosh! I can’t imagine making that phone call to my parents!
Loved, loved, loved this!
#1- I was born, raised, and have lived my whole life in the same city.
#2- I bite my nails as well (and I just can’t break the habit).
#7- My career goal from the age of 5 to 16 was to become an architect. Sadly math was a necessity… and when I was younger, it was far from my strongest subject.
Loved getting to know you a bit better.
xoxo
Such a great trip down memory lane.
Loved this Tiffany.

I definitely didn’t know a lot of these! So awesome you were able to get in such great shape after having your little girl. You look great now still anyway. 🙂 I was a hostess in a restaurant before! I used to want a tattoo back when I didn’t feel they were against my beliefs and then I decided I probably change my mind too much about what to get so I figured it probably wouldn’t be a good thing for me to get one haha.
Aw, thanks Brittnei! It was hard work but I felt lucky because I was able to take the time to stay in shape during my pregnancy. Made getting back in shape much easier. 🙂
I will probably never get a tattoo. I came home with a henna one HS and my mom about died! It was pretty funny. 🙂
nice to get to know you, Tiffany! you’ve had an interesting life! having horses must have been so cool. i dream of having an adorable one someday.
#7 my career goal as a kid was to be a journalist. i can’t bear to think that now. haha
#11 i love hiking! i hiked the highest mountain in Ghana last year. scary, but fun!
#15 my first job was with a small web developing company as an admin assistant.
It was pretty awesome having horses. I miss them so much!
I don’t think I could ever be a journalist either, ha!
Wow! Hiking in Ghana! That’s awesome! I have a few girlfriends who went to Ghana a few years ago.
Are you a techy? I work in IT, but am definitely not a techy person. 🙂
I love reading these! They’re so much fun and you can really get a sense of personality. Number 9 made me smile – I’m the same. I have a ongoing indecisive thing about getting a tattoo. Maybe a tiny one next year, that can be hidden if I want, if I can find a pretty design. What a romantic place for a proposal!

Thanks Louisa! It was fun to write. The thing about me and the tattoo, is that I want it in a visible spot (on my wrist). I guess if I want one I want it to be something I can see, not like something on my lower back. 🙂
And yes, it was a romantic place for a proposal!
Thanks for sharing some fun and interesting facts about yourself. I might have to try this one too. (I’ll give you credit if I do.) I have not lived more than 20 miles from my hometown. I have a tattoo that I do not regret. But I do think you have to think hard about what it is and where it will go. I still have friends I have known since grade school. They know everything about me and I know everything about them. They are the best.
Great to learn more about you! I’ve moved right before having babies three times, although not the day before. 🙂 That’s really close! #blirthdaybash
I can not imagine bringing a baby home to a house I JUST moved in to! Crazy! 🙂
15. My first job was a hostess at a BBQ restaurant
19. I am definitely afraid to try new foods! I just don’t want to be disappointed!
21. My favorite city is one I feel at home in – one that is familiar and that I have “roots” in. I’ve never been to a big city and have no desire to go! ha ha
Thanks for sharing your list!!
I’d love to see N Castle, too, but Germany is a long way from California. I’ve been to the Great Wall of China, though! #blirthdaybash
Oh it’s so gorgeous! We love Germany so much, but for both of us that’s our ancestry, so no surprise we love it. 🙂
Wow the Great Wall! That’s awesome! That seems even further than Germany!
Don’t be afraid of tattoos (I’m not sure if you have gotten one since this post) but when you see the right one, you know 🙂 Plus the pain is manageable depending on the location.
JTT forever!!
Oh yay! I’m so glad you shared this list at the #Blirthdaybash… and I’m delighted to see you got some visitors partying with you!
Thanks again for your friendship and support Tiffany… you’re pretty darn special.
xoxo
#16~My mom totally loved that movie and made me watch it too. I still remember the horse diving scene….
#23~Me and my hubby watch friends every night. Favorite part of my day!
#25~Preschool? That is longer than me and some of mine. I thought we had celebrated a lot with 20 years.
Coming over from the Deliberate Mom’s Happy Blirthday bash!!
That was my favorite scene. Loved that movie.
I love my girlfriends that I’ve had since we were kids. They know everything about me. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Misty!
What a fairytale proposal!
#2 – I used to bite my nails as a nervous habit, and then one day I decided I was going to stop for good (about 5 years ago), and I’ve only done it a few times since!
#7 – I was going to be a firewoman when I grew up…then I learned how dangerous fires were!
#23 – I love getting out of the house with my husband for dates. My favorite is dancing, but while we have two small children, I’m also content just watching shows or movies on the couch with him!
Stopping by from the #BlirthdayBash!
It was. I was so surprised.
I have got to stop the nail biting! I mostly do it when I’m bored, or at work. I guess I should probably quit my job in order to stop biting, ha!
We love to go dancing too, but it’s been years since we’ve gone. Almost did on Saturday night, but I forgot my ID at home. 🙁
Thanks for stopping by Charlee!
Oh I love posts like this, I keep meaning to do one myself for all of my new readers!! 🙂 Number 6, I was the exact same and now I’m just so out of shape, it’s so frustrating! I find it so hard to find time to squeeze in exercise. #11. Adam and I hiked together for the first time 🙂 We hiked to the top of a glacier (at Lake Louise-look it up it’s GORGEOUS) and it was just perfect! I want to do it again this summer with Scarlett!
🙂
I love this post! So fun to get to learn more about each other this way! I cannot believe you’ve never lived further from your hometown!!! And love all the other fun facts – I love visiting NYC too! xo
This is so fun! 🙂 I did this list too a few months ago, and wasn’t it great putting it together?! I feel like I know you so much better now. 😉 First of all, yay for being a cheerleader! I was on drill team. And how sweet is that that your husband proposed at that castle?! Awesome! Go girl for wanting to be a CEO. I wanted to be Oprah, so we must be very similar. Lol. So happy to call you a friend!
I love posts like this. I love getting to know the blogger behind the blog. I was a snowboarder too, and hubby a skier, but I haven’t been in years…
And, I too was in fabulous shape before we got pregnant then about 6 months after too, and now my exercise is chasing after a 2 year old! UGH! I gotta get to the gym!!!!
I’ve know I’ve already read this but it was even more fun to read back over it now that I know you more!!! I could totally be content to sit on the couch with my husband every night with a good show, that is PERFECTION. I’ve also always postponed tattoos for the same reason lol. Also, NEW YORK CITYYYYYY!!! Yes!!!! You just made me get a craving to watch Sex and the City!
