Liebster Award/Odd Facts about Me / Weekly Recap

January 15, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am honored! I got nominated for the Liebster Award from Kammie of Sensual Appeal.  Thanks Kammie!  I am tickled pink that you chose me!!

liebsteraward1

Here’s What You Must Do:

~ Write 11 random facts about yourself.
~ Answer the 11 interview questions you’ve been given by the person who nominated you.
~ Create 11 new questions.
~ Nominate 11 bloggers and mention them in your post.
~ Go and tell the person who nominated you, along with the people you’ve nominated about your post.


This is hard!  I have to post 11 random facts about me.  There isn’t much to tell!! But I’ll try!

Here are the random facts:

1.  I can type 40 words a minute with just two fingers!  When I started a job about 10 years ago, my boss saw me typing and she almost fell over by seeing how fast I could type.   She said she has never seen someone type with two fingers that fast before!!  Hey what can I say? I have long fingers and the other ones just get in the way!

2.  I was in InFisherman Magazine back in my early 20’s for catching a 4′ muskie in Lake Erie!  I thought that was pretty cool!!

3.  My family moved so much during my high school years that I ended up at three different high schools.  I went from a city school, to the suburbs to the country.  The city school was my favorite!  It was hard because by the time I got to the school in the country, everyone was in clicks so it was hard to make friends.

4.  My Husband and I dated for 11 years before we got married!   One day out of the blue he said let’s get married.  One month later we were married in Lake Tahoe.

5.  I’m always cold! No matter how warm it is outside, I’m cold!  Makes me wonder why I drink so many frappes and smoothies?

6.  My first job was at Mighty Taco.  I applied on my 16th birthday and started the next day!  I stayed there for over two years!  I loved that job and I never got sick of tacos!  It’s still my favorite food!!

7.  My first car was a Buick Skylark that had a hole in the floor.   My father put a street sign under my seat so I wouldn’t fall through the floor.  Sometimes if I ran through a puddle my legs would get splashed!

8.  I painted my 3rd car myself in my friends driveway!  It was an 83 Dodge Charger and I wanted it to be white so I primed it, sanded it and painted with my Friends Spray Gun.  It wasn’t pretty, but I did it myself.

9.  I’m impatient!  I don’t like to wait for anyone and if I can do it myself, I will.  Doesn’t matter how hard the task is, I’ll just do it!!

10.  I moved across country twice!  I moved from Buffalo, NY to Northern California, then about 3 years later I moved back to Buffalo, then I realized I miss California and moved back a 1 1/2 years later.  The drive back to California I came with my boyfriend (Husband now), his two kids, a dog, two cats, a hamster and a goldfish!  Yes a Goldfish!  Goldie was apart of the family, but shortly died after being around for over 7 years.  I think it was the different kind of water we have in California!

11.  I used to fish all the time in NY and one time, my Husband and I went ice fishing and I caught some crappie and a perch.  Instead of putting them back, because I am a firm believer of catch and release, I took them home with me and put them in my fish tank.  They lived for years and when I moved to California I released them into our local reservoir

Hmmm, I guess that wasn’t to hard!

Now to answer the 11 questions given to me.

  1. What was your favorite class in high school?  I loved gym, but hated swimming.  I hated being wet and cold!!!  Plus changing in the gym locker room!  Blah!!
  2. If you could eat anything in the world right now, what would you eat?  I would love a big deep dish pizza loaded with lots of veggies and peppers!
  3. What’s the number 1 place you’d like to visit?  Hawaii!!  It’s my dream vacation!
  4. Cats or dogs?  Dogs!  I love my two bad dogs and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
  5. Favorite thing to do on a lazy Sunday?  Lounge in my PJ’s, and watch  Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!
  6. Favorite movie of ALL time?  Oh my gosh, I don’t have one!  It depends on my phase I’m going through.  I haven’t seen a movie since Magic Mike!
  7. Favorite band / music artist during childhood?  Bon Jovi!  I had a life-size poster of him in my room!  He’s still my favorite!!  He’s so dreamy!!
  8. When did you start your journey in the kitchen?  About two years ago!  I always cooked dinner, but I never cooked like I do now!  I love it, and now it’s my passion.
  9. If you had to eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would you pick?  Tacos!!  Lots of tacos loaded with jalapenos, hot sauce and greek yogurt!
  10. What kind of climate do you wish you could live in?  A hot , tropical one!
  11. If you could transform into any animal, what would you pick?  A Leopard!  There so sleek-looking and fast!!

Now my 11 questions:

  1. What is your favorite color to wear?
  2. What kind of food would you love to make that intimidates you?
  3. What kind of food would you not touch with a 10′ pole?
  4. If you could have any dream car, what would it be?
  5. Would you rather be thin or rich?
  6. What would your dream job be?
  7. What is your go to meal?
  8. What is your favorite show on tv?
  9. What is your favorite flower?
  10. What is your all time favorite store to shop in?
  11. What is your favorite season?

I nominated the following blogs:

  • Sarah of Baking Serendipity
  • Tara with Noshing with the Nolands
  • Leah of Food for the Fresh
  • Mrs. Big Flavor from Little Kitchen, Big Flavor
  • Jen at Juanita’s Cocina

 

Wow, lots of writing today!  Since things were crazy last week, and I didn’t get to do a weekly recap, I thought I would post last weeks posts today from Sunday the 5th, up till Saturday the 12th.

Sunday – Butternut Squush Gnocchi #SundaySupper:  I got a lot of comments that my gnocchi was big, and I have to laugh, they are big, but still tasty!!  🙂

Butternut Squash Gnocchi

 

Monday – Roasted Butternut Squash and Quinoa Salad with Honey Balsamic Dressing:  I had this salad for lunch about 4 times last week!  I love it!!!  Once you big batch cook, it’s quick and easy to throw together!

Tuesday – Cinnamon and Raisin Granola Cookies: Love these cookies!  I took them to work and had them for my 10:00 snack!

Cinnamon and Raisin Granola Cookies

 

Wednesday –  Roasted Root Vegetables:  I had so many vegetables from the CSA, that I wasn’t sure what to do with them.  After realizing they are all root vegetables, I decided to roast them up and this side dish was formed!  I made pizza with leftovers and even had a big bowl of the veggies for breakfast!!

Roasted Root Vegetables

Thursday – Breaded Chicken on a Stick:  My random appetizer!  They were fun to make and who doesn’t like to eat off a stick?

Chicken on a Stick

Friday – Banana Pancakes:  These are so easy, and I was shocked how good they were.  The only thing is they are very delicate, so be careful when you flip them!

Banana Pancakes

Saturday – Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake:  These little shortcakes I think are simply adorable!  My Husband and I couldn’t believe how good they were!!

Gluten Free strawberry shortcake

Ok, I am off!  My two fingers are getting tired of typing and I am sure you want this post to end!!  🙂

Have a great day!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Feel free to play along and answer my 11 questions that I have!  I’d love to learn more about my readers!

    Yay I loved learning more about you! Wow it must have been tough moving so much. Three different high schools, wow.

    Also I was almost sure you’re a pro cook, no idea you started just 2 years ago! You are so good at it! Way to go. I’m glad it’s developed IMO a passion.

    And Bon Jovi rocks! Yahhh!!

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.

What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
