Featured Reader: Let me introduce you to

Hello friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We made our way to my parents lake house and had beautiful weather this weekend. It was so nice to have some time to unwind. We can hardly keep Will out of the water! Isn't that what summer is all about, just kicking back in the sun? How does the summer go by so fast?

I always enjoy Monday's since I have the pleasure of introducing one of my fab readers. What would a blogger be without fabulous blog friends? I am pleased to introduce you to Yaya of

Yaya Stuff. I am not sure how I stumbled on Yaya's blog but I was instantly drawn to her energy and charm. You never know what to expect from Yaya and she always speaks from the heart with a bit of sass, which is what I love the most. You may already be a friend of Yaya's, she has a very large following but if you aren't run do not walk over to her blog.... but read her feature first and leave her some comment love, we bloggers thrive on comments! Grab a cup of joe and get to know my friend Yaya!!

Name: Yaya of Yaya stuff

Family:

Just me and my hubby, Josh, for now. We are hoping to have children very soon through adoption and fertility treatment. We have 2 dogs, a cat and

a turtle, or as we call them, our "zoo".

How did you start blogging?

I started blogging in May of 2008 so that friends and family could keep up with what was going on in our lives. A friend of mine, Ashley, has a blog and I thought it was a great idea.

What is your blogging philosophy?

My blogging philosophy is to always comment back to people who comment me. I *try* to 'follow' back those who follow me but darn blogger won't let me follow any more people!

You will never find me without......something ORANGE!

Day job:

I am a full time nanny for 4 kids during the week and I clean offices on the weekends. I also teach a workshop for children with Tourette Syndrome. Phew, I'm exhausted when I realize how much I work! My dream job is to be a stay at home mom. I'm hoping this happens SOON!

Favorite Stuff:

Anything orange. Animals. Babies/Children. Lime Tostitos. Dry red wine. Dancing movies. Reality tv. Having things clean and organized. Baking.

...oh yeah, and that husband of mine!

Music: Joshua Radin

Food: Pizza

Tv/ Movies: reality anything

Reading: Sophie Kinsella, Twilight series

If you had to wear a T-shirt with your favorite saying on it what would it be?

"Live, Love, Laugh"

Favorite stores to shop at:

If you could trade with a blogger for the day who would it be?

I would trade with Julia from Our Simple Life (http://julia-oursimplelife.blogspot.com/) because she lives on a farm and I love how she gets to spend every day outside with her beautiful children, hiking and horseback riding. *sigh* sounds heavenly!

Other good stuff from Yaya:
