1 // If we were meeting in person, how would you introduce yourself?
6 // [Lightening Round] Would you rather …
hi, i'm eryn. these are my two kids! (they are always with me) yes, we homeschool. i work part-time from home managing the social media channels for Seed Company, a ministry that translates the bible for people that don't yet have it in their language. i also teach zumba/cardio dance fitness twice a week- you should come try it sometime it's so much fun! oh, you're a blogger? have you heard of Declare? it's a conference for bloggers and writers and i am one of the hostesses. you would love it! it was so nice to meet you!
2 // What is your favorite thing to write and why?
2 // What is your favorite thing to write and why?
lately my favorite thing to write is lists. i list things i love, things i'm doing, ideas, dreams, books i'm reading, products i'm using...six things to get to know me ;) lists help me keep my thoughts organized and concise.
3 // What is your favorite thing to read and why?
3 // What is your favorite thing to read and why?
oooh i love to read. if we're talking books, i like historical fiction, fiction based on true stories, and biographies. my favorite magazines are family, health, home related. as for blogs, my favorites are those that i can learn something like a recipe, a parenting or homeschooling tip, or a new resource/tool relevant to my life, be encouraged by devotionals or by stories that i can relate to, and be inspired by a DIY or home project, a health/fitness challenge, or by someone else sharing their goals/successes.
4 // If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?
as it is, i am blessed to be able to design my days and do what i want/need for the most part. but if i'm really using my imagination and can do ANYTHING for one day, i think i would want to completely unplug and spend the entire day - sun up to sun down - relaxing on a resort on a beach somewhere tropical with my family. i'm definitely craving a beachy vacation right now!

5 // What’s one thing you love about your blog and one thing you’d like to improve?
i love that my blog is still (since 2005!) a place where i go to simply share my words and thoughts freely, in my own timing on my own schedule, never out of obligation, and never feeling like a burden or a job. keeping it protected like that hasn't been easy, it has meant turning down opportunities, even financial ones, and going against the grain in many bloggy ways. but i'm sure if i hadn't been careful about protecting this space, i would have succumbed to burnout a long time ago.

i would like to improve the design/layout/functionality. i don't need anything fancy, just a few updates here and there to make it aesthetically pleasing and current. purely for vanity purposes.
