73 Questions: Get To Know Me

02.19.20

There’s obviously an “About” section here on my blog, but it’s the small, minute details that really make a person who they are! These are the things I find fascinating and fun about someone,. Sure, I’m a wife, mom, event planner, publicist, blogger… but I think the chores I can and cannot stand kind of say a lot about me… right? No? I mean I think if you’re someone who loves to pull weeds then you may be psychotic. Or if you like to fold laundry you could be a control freak.
