Who are you? Kelly @ The Houtz House Party

Why do you blog/ what do you blog about? I blog about the mishmash of family with 4 little people, my husband, random cooking, crafty and fashion endeavors as well as my faith in Jesus journey.

3 greatest fears (weird ones, not serious, like Balloons, Popsicles, etc).

I HATE CLOWNS, BIRDS & VAMPIRES!  Somehow I love Twilight?  Not sure how I can get through it, BUT true story: I slept with a Rosary around my neck for almost an entire year in elementary school after checking out and reading a book about vampires.  WHAT KIND OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY HAS AN "EASY READER" BOOK ABOUT VAMPIRES??? #schoollibrarianfail

Favorite dessert? Scotcheroos - I'll have to write a blog post about that SOON! - Chocolate, butterscotch deliciousness!

Best way to spend your free time? On a walk with my kiddos and husband around our 'hood.

Last book you read? Bob the Builder pop up book; the Bible

"Nothing too goofy about this picture, but I'm definitely wearing the brightest shirt I've ever owned!"

Who are you? 

I'm Kara from The Snugly Duckling! I recently moved back home to the south, and am so happy to be back. I love serving in my church and the simple differences you can make in a person's life. I love crafting and hate any kind of physical exercise. If it weren't for my fast metabolism, I'd be a for sure fatty. I'm really shy until people get to know me, so introduce yourself! I'd love talking to you.

Why do you blog/ what do you blog about? 

I blog as a creative outlet for myself. I've always loved writing and have a secret goal of writing children's literature when I grow up. Being able to tell my stories and thoughts with everyone has been a fantastic way for me to get to know so many great bloggers! 

3 greatest fears (weird ones, not serious, like Balloons, Popsicles, etc).

1. I am terrified of car washes. Especially the high pressure ones that sound like they're scraping your car into junk metal. No thank you.

2. I often get extremely, irrationally scared of my entire body becoming paralyzed. Usually caused by the smallest amount of back pain.

3. I hate, hate, hate  scary movies. I've only seen parts of The Grudge at least 5 years ago, and I still get scared by it.

Favorite dessert? I could never, ever choose a favorite dessert! My top three for sure are chocolate pizza (brownie crust, peanut butter "sauce", cut up reese's, and hot fudge drizzle over it all), nanaimo bars (Canadians know what they're doing), and Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

Best way to spend your free time?  I honestly spend my free time watching either How I Met Your Mother or The Office reruns, usually while embroidering or taking up some kind of craft.

Last book you read? The last book I read was The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks, and boy was it great! I hate telling people this, but I was extremely disappointed by the movie. So much was different from the beginning to the end. I'm kind of a Nicholas Sparks-aholic though, so I'm used to the movie adaptations.

(Agh, me too! I loved the book... and hot-damn - naked Zac Efron? Yes please)

Favorite quote: My favorite quote is by Dr. Suess. Cheesy, right? "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."

Making my point about Zac Efron in "The Lucky One"... if you haven't seen it, you need to!
