Before we get into the Old School Blogging, I hope you’ll come visit my guest post at Sverve today: 4 Commandments for Writing Sponsored Posts.
And now, on with the show! This month’s Old School Blogging is Lists of 5. Thanks Michelle from Dish of Daily Life for tagging me in this fun post!
Five Things I Have a Passion For
- My family and friends.
- Wine and good food
- The March of Dimes andNewborn and Maternal Health
- Writing: I love to write.
- Laughing.
Five Things I Would Like to do Before I Die
- See my children grow up, get married, and have kids.
- Feel like I made a difference.
- Get legislation in place to help high risk pregnancies and reduce baby losses from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome.
- Spend two weeks in one of those beautiful sea huts at some amazing tropical destination.
- See more of the world!
Five Things I Say A Lot
- “I love you.”
- “Hurry Up!” My kids are in no hurry to do anything.
- “I’m sorry.” Wish I wasn’t so apologetic.
- “What happened was…?” I’m usually trying to explain my way out of something.
- “I had identical twin daughters but one died after two days.” I say that, and tell our story, to anyone who will listen.

I am currently reading:
- 11/22/63 by Stephen King
- Along the Watch Tower, by David Litwack

Five Favorite Movies (maybe you’ve seen them Five times…)
- Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood
- The Notebook
- Old School (and pretty much all movies with that cast line up!)
- The Wizard of Oz
- The Sound of Music
I could go on and on. I love movies.
Five Places I Would Love to Travel
