 Meg filled out our Mommy Questionnaire and the answers are below…
—————————————————————-
Name: Meg O.
Kids names/ages: Kennedy, age 2. Baby #2 on the way, 15 weeks along!
Favorite……
Movie- The Sound of Music
Vacation destination- Puerto Vallarta
Family activity- Walks on a nice day, family vacations
Part about being a mommy- Watching my beautiful girl learn and grow each day.
Meal to make your family- Buffalo Chicken Quinoa. We make it all the time! megoonthego.com/2013/04/buffalo-chicken-quinoa-clean-eating/
Way to relax- Cuddling up with some ice cream and watching Netflix or our favorite TV shows
Mommy Blogs- The contributors on the What to Expect website
What inspired you to start you blog?-
I started it as a way to document our wedding and share with family members, and it just sort of evolved with me, my life, and my interests. And it’s now what it is today!
How do you juggle writing a blog and raising a kid?-
It’s really hard, especially with a full-time job as well! It’s been a struggle for a while, but lately it works best that I blog when my husband is preoccupied and my daughter is asleep. Not putting pressure on myself to blog every single day and blogging when I have something to say is the best piece of advice I got and it has been fun to keep that mindset. Blogging like it’s your job can be exhausting when it should be fun!
Who is your biggest role model?-
This is so hard because I look up to so many people. I would have to say God is totally my number one role model, but I am also greatly influenced by my close family and friends.
What are your top mommy must haves? -
Lots of fun items like Melissa & Doug toys, clothes from HM&BB, and the iPad for the persnickety toddler. And GoGo Squeez. God bless that stuff.
Favorite part about being pregnant? Least favorite part?-
I love experiencing all of the fun milestones and things once again with a perspective that I’ve already done this before. Least favorite part? Gaining weight too fast. Oh, and feeling exhausted.

Fingerprint Jewelry by First Impressions

“The pieces that we produce are a celebration of life. Whether worn by a new mom, by a spouse of a distant soldier, in support of a person who is battling a life threatening illness, or in memory of someone who has passed, they simply reflect the notion, “I need you to be with me – always.” Jake Fuhrman-First Impression Jewelry

 Finger print jewelry by First Impressions is the ultimate gift for moms, dads, and loved ones. The pieces truly capture the essence of a person by imprinting their fingerprint,something that is solely unique to each individual, onto a pendent. Another option is to put an infants hand or footprint on the pendent in place of the finger print. This is an amazing way to always have your little one with you. The pendents can be put on a bracelet, necklace or attached to a charm bracelet.

How it Works: The process of creating your one of a kind piece couldn’t be easier! To begin the process we take down a few of your fingerprints until we get the perfect one.  Next are the choices of size,metal,halo type, and bail choice. After we help you  make your choices and complete your form we send it off for you. Also, each piece can be engraved for free!

Sizes: 11mm,14mm,17mm

Metal: White gold, Yellow Gold, Silver

Halos: Circle, Square, Triangle
