I’m probably way overdue with an “About Me” update, so here you have it. Probably more than you’ve asked!
- Youngest of five kids in the family; they call me spoiled.
- Immigrated to US at 12.
- Took on marriage young; was 19 and hubby 20. Still going strong:)
- Own two handsome boys.

- Worked as an insurance agent for seven years.
- Still dream of becoming a chef/blogger or a sales person.
- Have the utmost respect for coffee π

- Purses and shoes are my weakness.
- I go crazy for Tj Maxx, Zara and J Crew stores.
- Still suck at grammar.
- Addicted to traveling. My husband and I have visited most of the states in US, including Alaska and Hawaii.
- For short getaways, prefer Vancouver BC or any other place in Canada. It feels like Europe.
- An extrovert. Sometimes exaggerate my own self, lol.
- Have very strong value for friends.
- Extreme texter, glad the plan is unlimited!
- Managed a Mexican fast food restaurant for a few years. Loved the job.
- My husband and I worked together most of our marriage.
- Enjoy road trips. I use that time to chat with my hubby and just think about life.
- My family is known to overdue things with food, kinda’ like in the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”.
- I watch Housewives, ouch, please don’t judge me!
- Used to drive crazy during my teen years. Driving 100 miles (160km) an hour was no problem.
- I’m a chatter box, or at least I feel as if I cannot stop talking sometimes.
- Lived in a village during my childhood years, 350 homes; got to experiment a life of a farmer.
- Really enjoy hosting. We have friends over at least once a week.
- Always look happy, but I cry too sometimes:(
- Love hiking and miss it just by writing this.

- My husband is my best friend.

- I am getting old! It’s my 28th Birthday!
I love reading your comments and getting to know every one of you. Do tell me if you relate to anything or share something amazing about yourself!
Thank you for sharing so much about you! I feel like I know you well now. π (even though I just found your blog a couple of days ago) We do have a lot in common so I'm not gonna list it all. I'm a November girl as well. Turned 24 on the 17th, but my husband turned 28 on Nov. 18. Been only married for a year and no kids yet (I think those are the only differences between me and you) and I don't cook as well as you do yet. Your food looks great and I'll be using lots of your recipes. Happy Holidays! π
I am sure you a great cook, as long as you practice π
We didn't have kids for the first few years of marriage, those were fun freedom years, lol π
Thanks for sharing about you!!!
Happy birthday Natasha! ? You look like such a friendly person, I'm going to turn 28 also in March. I love trying new recipes, traveling and hiking. Married 4
Years. Love your recipes, keep them coming:) God bless you and your family ?

Oh my, I was expecting that one π I always tease my hubby that I married him for his dark hair, so our kids would have dark hair and this is what I got. lol
So cute! Thanks for sharing! XO
Thank you π
Thought I'd add 28 more things from the hubby:)
1) Wild. Don't get deceived by her kindness, she's a tiger!
2) Phsycologist. This lady will know the movie's ending five minutes into it.
3) Jack-of-all-trades. A cook, mom, accountant, business-lady and a fasion model π
4) Social. Give her a business phone number and she'll get to a CEO in under 10 minutes.
5) Full of life. Two minutes of talking to her will set your smile for the day.
6) A salesman. Not afraid of people.
7) Excited. Always moves, goes somewhere, does something.
8) Takes no naps. Says naps are a waste of time.
9) Risky. Wanted to climb a fence to meet a celeberty.
10) Full of energy. There hasn't been a plain day since I met her; it's either happy or not, never plain.
11) Iphone killer. Spends so much time on the phone, that the battery goes dead six hours into the day.
12) Gets crazier very year.
13) Loves comedy and romantic movies, never action. Says she lives in the La-la Land and likes it that way:)
14) Romantic. Loves sunsets, red roses, chat on a cold day behind a hot cup of coffee and beach walking.
15) Fast. So many burns and cuts in the kitchen.
16) Daring. Would do crazy things, like pretend to forget a wallet just to see if she can get a free coffee.
17) Advantorous. Loves traveling and exploring long roads.
18) Early bird. Doesn't matter when she goes to sleep, she's up with the sun.
19) Doesn't like hypocrites. Not even me as a hypocrite.
20) Loves giving. Makes food for other people and always at the doorstep in the time of need.
21) Passionate. Cares about homeless people, orphans, people in 3rd world countries.
22) A 110% friend. Will be a better friend to you than you're to her.
23) Has values. Aside from being spontaneous and open, has values to things.
24) Does not like things shallow. It's either spicy or go home. At least in marriage;)
25) Slick. She can fool you and make you believe that you got a better part.
26) Herself. Does not care for people's opinion, has plenty of her own!
27) Loves people.
28) Loves family.
Happy Birthday. May God Bless You and Your Beautiful Family.
