5 Things

Hello Lovely Friends!
Something fun to share on a Sunday afternoon!
My bloggy friend, Billie Jo, tagged me in a post and I promised to share 5 things you may not know about me.
So hear goes...


#1 I was a synchronized swimmer growing up. Yes, I started synchro in 8th grade at Camp Mary Elizabeth. When I was in college, I was on the synchronized swimming team. When our neighborhood pool is quiet, I still practice a few tricks!


Can you find me? 2nd row, 1st on the left. Such a fun group of friends!

#2 One of the most life changing books I have ever read? Kisses from Katie. It's about a girl who is getting ready to graduate from high school and decides God is calling her to go to Uganda to help orphaned children. I urge you to read it.

#3 One day, I want to live in the woods in a log cabin. I want to pare down my belongings and have our little cabin filled with only the things we truly love and use. I would like it to have a front porch that can hold some rocking chairs and pretty potted plants along the steps. Something cozy and charming.

#4 I like happy endings. When I read a book or watch a movie, I want things to end well with all questions answered and tied in a neat little bow. Harry Potter... the perfect ending!

#5 I don't like talking on the phone. And speaking of phones, I still have a plain old cell phone. It has a texting keyboard, but it is not fancy. I can not justify spending the extra money on a data plan each month. I would much rather have a pedicure now and then. (Or stop by the bakery to get cupcakes!)

So who wants to play along? I would love to know 5 interesting things about you all! Please let me know if you would like to write a 5 things post! I will officially tag you!
Update:   Carrie from  Bake No Prisoners... Can't wait to read your 5 things!
                 Jane from The Felt Boutique ... I just read your 5 things! # 4 sounds wonderful!

xoxo Elizabeth

  4. Elizabeth, I love learning a little more about you! Synchronized swimming - how neat! And you are just as adorable now as you were then. The appeal of a log cabin and a simplified life is wonderful. It takes a few visits to the thrift shop to realize how much stuff we accumulate. I am right there with you on the phone. We do not have data plans. That adds hundreds of dollars to the plans that I simply do not need. Annie wants a smart phone so bad but the kids pay for their cell phones and she can't justify this "need."

    1. I think it is wonderful that you are teaching your children to know if something is a "want" or a true " need"!
