Happy Mother's Day to Erica and all the other amazing people out there that we call Mom.
Best advice for moms: ZOLOFT
Personal motto: Get outside and move!
Dream car: Honestly, a brand new Suburban. We have an old one, having three rows is necessary with all these kids.
Favorite bumper sticker: I'm not drunk. I'm passing snacks and whoopin ass!
Best vacation read: Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver It's poetic and sexy!
Next trip or dream trip (your choice): Get me in an ocean ASAP! My soul needs some saltwater.
Road snack: Boiled peanuts or Flamin' Hot Cheetos
Driver's seat or shotgun? Either
Favorite travel memory: We went to the Grand Canyon when I was a kid and my dad blindfolded all of us in the car. He held our hands and walked us to the edge and ripped off our blindfolds. I will never forget that moment; infinite beauty, nothing but rocky canyons, just EPIC. I'm dying to give my kids and hubby the same experience they've never been!
Road trip soundtrack: Here's one we listened to on our last trip to Oklahoma.
Far West favorite: So many favs! I love my Peyote Filth Mart shirt! Especially love the stares when I'm wearing it picking up the kiddos from school.
