When did you start blogging? How did you come up with your blogs name?

I’ve been blogging since 2010 and Just recently came up with the name A Purpose Driven Wife, because In life, I’m VERY driven, I have passion and dedicated to things I love.

Wow! Long time blogger!

954348_392750017492565_1232534723_nWhat is something about yourself that most of your readers don’t know?

What I like to do during my spare time is walk around the super market and look at the different foods and prices, Just window shopping at the super market keeps me relaxed with no kids. ( I know crazy right?!)

How do you spend your time when you aren’t blogging?

Most of my time is spent with my husband and family, watching movies and eating junk food!

What do you find most challenging about blogging?

1- Keeping up with the content on the blog

2- Finding time to write

3- What to share and what not to share

What do you find most rewarding about blogging?

Connecting with readers and meeting new bloggers.

I totally agree! This is always an awesome thing! I am amazed every day at the amount of awesome people I have met and new friends I have made in my short time blogging.

What post are you most proud of so far?

Brazilian Wax Before Pregnancy (This is the 2nd most personal article I wrote about on my blog and LOVE it!) Green Eggs and God  (This is just a small testimony of my life).

Pick two of your favorite blogs to read that you would like me to invite to do Sit Around Saturday!

Ask me one question…any question at all and I have to answer it no matter what!

How do you like your eggs?

I like them two ways really scrambled or over easy…but I will eat them just about any way! I love eggs!! One of my favorite things while I was pregnant lol

If you could have any one toy what would it be? Why?

I would like the old mario nintendo game… I Like the game theme song!

If you could have one super power what would it be? Why?

This is scary, but… I want to clone myself, but only to cook, clean and help with homework…So I can do other things like blog…hehehehehe!

What would I find in your refrigerator right now?

My husband just went shopping so you would find the whole bottom shelf of my fridge filled with Minute maid juice.

If your blog was a dessert, what would it be and why?

My blog would be a chocolate confetti cake because 1- I LOVE chocolate, 2- confetti because I like variety in life!

Recipe (with icing) at the end of the post!

If you were in jail and on death row…what would you last meal be?

I LOVE chicken and Italian food, so any chicken dish from Italy! It has to be from Italy not the american version but food that you can ONLY get from Italy.

What do you think about when you are alone in your car?

I think about the song that’s currently on and what I’m going to blog about next.

Name 3 things within a 2 foot radius of yourself right now.

My husband, my bowl of cereal, and my sleeping daughter.

If you were a star wars/star trek (you pick) character who would you be and why?

“Nyota Uhura” in star trek because she was one of the first characters of African descent to be featured on a multi-cultural crew and she spoke different languages which was cool!

If you were a cartoon character who would you be and why?

I would like to be my self as a cartoon character, because no one can play a better me, then….ME!

Take a moment and write a short rant & ramble post for us. It can be any topic that you would like…just keep it legal please!

I LOVE to blog! When I discovered blogging I was hooked, but sometimes in life you get mixed up with every day situations that You forget or just don’t have time. I’m VERY passionate about bringing a different perspective in different situations in life. Such as being a marine wife and the ups and downs we go through living the military lifestyle, or raising twins while pregnant in an area where you don’t know anyone, to eating a healthy meal with your family with picky eaters! I LOVE it and would hope to bring my crazy, different lifestyle to my blog and at the same time help and encourage you!

Chocolate Confetti Cake

I’ve never made this with the confetti added…not sure how it will turn out! I will get the stuff and give it a shot this weekend!

1 Cup of sugar

1 1/8 cup flour

1/2 of cocoa powder

1 TSP baking soda

1 TSP salt

1/2 cup of butter

1 egg

1 TSP vanilla extract

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups of multi-color sprinkles (confetti) You could even toss in a few M&Ms for good measure! lol

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and grease your pan. ( I like to do cupcakes instead of a cake…up to you.)
  2. Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa.
  3. In a different bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until it is a light and fluffy consistency.
  4. Add in the vanilla and the egg. Mix well.
  5. Add in the flour mixture.
  6. Mix in the white chocolate chips and sprinkles.
  7. Bake for about 30-40 minutes. (Until a tooth-pic comes out clean.)

Icing:

1/2 cup butter

1 TSP vanilla extract

4 cups confectioners sugar

2 TBSP milk

  1. Melt the butter.
  2. Cream together the butter, vanilla, sugar and milk. (If you want to make it colorful you can either add in sprinkles or a bit of food coloring.)

Well…there you have it! Another awesome recipe with an interesting Sit around!

Due to some "stuff" I ended up writing this post first thing this morning...so here I am...in bed...with my laptop & cat! I was kind and saved you from seeing my full on "roughness"!
Due to some “stuff” I ended up writing this post first thing this morning…so here I am…in bed…with my laptop & cat! I was kind and saved you from seeing my full on “roughness”! Ignore my shiny head…the flash really did make it look bad!

Do you ever write in bed? Oh and what do you think…will the sprinkles show up in a chocolate cake like they do in my white ones?
