So I was thinking I would give you a little peak at me…the woman behind the blog. So here are a few fun backs about lil ole’ me.

#1) I am short…seriously (only 5 feet tall). I can’t help it, I come from a long line of short.  My grandma just turned 91 a couple weeks ago and I think she is only 4’8 now…maybe less because unfortunately we shrink a little as we get older. NOT the news I wanted.

#2) I love to take pictures.  I was blessed that my kids and hubby got me a new Nikon D3100 for Mothers Day.  I also just got a new lens for it today. Watch out world! So far this dino toy from my backyard looks incredibly awesome. I am still trying to figure out all the settings.

#3) Hmm…last but not least, I love to cook.  That probably doesn’t surprise you.  I feel like I am much better at baking than cooking. Although, my family loves it when I do both. My favorite thing in the whole wide world to make? I love cookies…made with real butter and flour (my kids have allergies so this doesn’t happen often).

Now a little tid-bit about Go Daddy, since they are the reason I am writing this Did you know post.  They want you to learn a little more about them with Go Daddy You Don’t Know.

#1) Did you know Go Daddy is a great place to start a website for kids and family? With WebSite Tonight®, a Go Daddy site builder, you can access a template library containing over 2,000 design and color combinations and 120 pre-built websites. From silly to creative, there’s a style for everyone.
