Blog-tember Challenge: Day 1
So call me crazy {just don’t yell it in my face, please!!!}, but I have joined this crazy thing called “Blog-tember Challenge” for the month of September. I have a topic to write about EVERY day. That’s 30 blog posts that I don’t have to think anything about because the topic is already chosen.
HA! Who am I kidding! Someone else already chose the topics, but I do have A LOT of thinking to do! Actually, probably more than I normally would when it comes to writing a blog post…
So here goes! Today’s post is an introduction of me.
I could just refer you to my “About Me” page. But I won’t.
Here are the about me’s that you can’t find on that page…and that might give you a better idea of who I am.
I am a lot of things, but the top 10:
A daughter
A sister
A niece
An aunt
A wife
A mom
A friend
A boss {no snide remarks}
A home-maker
A blogger
I can:
Play softball
Play the piano
Sew
Walk faster than some people run
Multitask like no body’s business
I love:
Jesus
My {fill in the blank with the best adjective you can find} husband
Our wild and fantastic kids
My family {ALL of them}
My amazing friends
My crazy co-workers
I have:
A husband

Other fun facts:
I am of Irish and Seminole descent.
I enjoy being outside either playing in the dirt or with my kids, which sometimes means I am in the dirt!
Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday.
I think Birthdays should be big celebrations of that person’s life, and should always include cake!

I won a dance contest in college and my brother had the t-shirt to prove it.

Laughing. Laughing is my favorite.
I wish I had a ton of pictures to share with you for this post…I have a million memories flooding my brain right now, if only I could hook up a printer and print them out!
The only one I’m going to share {aw, don’t be sad} is this one from June…with the hubs. He is my absolute favorite and we’re both smiling so hugely because it was date night!Thanks for reading this fun post! I hope it gave you some insight into the person behind Camellias and Copper.
Stay tuned for more Blog-tember fun!
You ARE a Boss. #GirlBoss. 🙂
LOL! Too funny, Elise! I actually am a boss in real life…I manage people (sometimes…sometimes they manage me!! jk…).
This is the cutest intro post ever! Loved the grandparent memories. I miss my grandparents so much so that section took me back to the “good ole days” with them- so thank you for that!
