MEET & GREET #12- STACIE FROM STAYING ME

I want to welcome a great blogger to Books R Us. Stacie is the owner of Staying Me. Please visit Stacie's blog and you may learn something new and interesting. Stop by every Monday for a new featured blogger of the week

Your Name - Stacie

Where do you blog? 

http://staying-me.com

How did you decide on what to name your blog?
I’m trying to make myself a better wife, mother, and person in general, without changing who I am. So Staying Me (just creating a better version) is what I came up with!

Tell us a little bit about you.... 

I’m a SAHM of four girls, ages 15, 12, 3, and 18months. I have been married to the Computer Dude for over 13 years, and plan on at least quadrupling that! During the very little free time I get, I enjoy working on one of the unfinished crochet or cross stitch projects I have. Someday I plan on learning to run, but haven’t gotten around to that yet.

Tell us 5 of your favorite things, and 5 of your least favorite things...

Favorite:

Piano music, reading, Autumn, chocolate, and learning new things.

Least favorite:  

Traffic, washing dishes, beets, bills, and people that chew food with their mouth open (more of a pet peeve item, isn't it?)

What do you blog about?
 I love to bring reviews and giveaways to my readers, but I also like to write about the struggles of being a mom, trying to be healthy, and finding time for myself.

When do you find the time to blog? 

Now that school has started, my old morning blogging time is gone, so now I blog at night, or during nap time.

What is your favorite item you ever reviewed?

Definitely the Chevy Equinox! http://staying-me.com/2011/06/lets-have-some-chevyfun/.html

What brand or product would you really like to work with/review?

Oh, there’s so many! Vera Bradley is probably my current goal.

What has been your biggest blogging challenge, how did you overcome it? 

Wanting too much too fast was and is my biggest challenge. Still working on being patient and working harder!

What advice would you give a new blogger? 

Have patience and realistic goals, and don’t give up!

What are your favorite blogs to read?

I have a lot of blogs that I read, but these two seem to be the ones that I read EVERY DAY no matter what:
