Saturday Blogger Interview with Laura from Dealin and Dishin

I am so pleased to welcome Laura from Dealin and Dishin to Acting Balanced today!  Grab a cup of tea, coffee or cocoa and lets get to know her better:


1. Tell us a little bit about your blog:


My blog is transitioning, but mainly it's about what I love. That's family, sewing, crafts, baking, and frugal bits..tips and hints.


2. How long have you been blogging and what do you love about it?


I have been blogging for 1 1/2 years. I love seeing my thoughts and ideas enjoyed by ohers, and their ideas and suggestions. It helps the creative juices to keep flowing.


3. Who is the person or group behind the blog?


I'm the person behind the content of the blog. My hubs is my tech man who helped me get the domain and deals with my tech questions. He is also in charge of my logo/site redesign.


4. What hobbies/interests do you have?


My current hobby I'm loving is sewing. I just started that this Summer after having a sewing machine for years and years. I enjoy reading, love movies in particular horror, I've a TV addiction when it comes to reality shows, competition ones, the Housewives, and auction shows.


5. If you could invite 4 people (real or fictional, living or dead) to a dinner party, who would you invite and what would you serve?


Wow! That's a great tough question. I would pick my father-in-law and grandma who have both passed and my two children so they could meet them. I would serve food like my Grandma made..dressing, pie, and probably some form of chicken for son (baked with a few spices like onion, garlic, and maye a little chipolte), and then homemade rolls (dough courtesy of the bread machine) for my daughter.


6. I can’t live without…


I can't live without my Folgers instant coffee. I love it and I drink 5 cups a day. I have really lost track recently. The colder it gets and more tired I am the more I drink it!


7. Something people would be surprised to know about me is…


I have a real sacrastic, smart aleck side that is hardly seen on here plus on occassion a potty mouth that my hubs then nicknames Ensign.
