You Asked For It!

In celebration of our Blogaversy (or is it Blogiversary? I better consult the Urban Dictionary!), Emily and I are answering reader questions! So if you have any questions, please email one of us or leave a comment. We just are DYING to spill our guts here. Really. Anyhoo, one of the questions we’ve gotten more than once is how and if we make money blogging. Well, we are NOT the people to go to for advice on the subject, but we have made about an average of $60/month over the past year thanks to this blog and Google Adsense, Text Link Ads, and BlogHer Ads. (Split two ways of course, so we are TOTALLY rolling in it!! But it’s nice to have and we make it doing something we enjoy!) Although I noticed while I was on vacation that our google ads have diappeared, and I really need to look into fixing that. But I juuuust haven’t gotten around to it yet. So you can see how concerned I am about bringing home the bacon with this endeavor!

Jen B. sent me the question, “Where did you go to college?” I went to Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky, which is just about the smallest town ever, but it is close to Lexington. It’s a small Christian college with a small, idyllic campus and lots of good programs. I really enjoyed my time there, and I met a lot of great people there as well. I majored in Media Communications and I loved it. But the work was hard, and I was reaalllly glad to be done when I graduated! I could never do grad school. I am way too wimpy!

Jen also wanted to know if I plan to send my kids to Christian school. Bobby and I plan to send our kids to Dayton Christian Schools, which is the same school we attended. But, if we can’t afford it, I will homeschool. But I realllllllllllllllly don’t wanna homeschool, because I am basically selfish and lazy, so I will keep a-clippin’ those coupons so I can send my babies to school!!

Another question I got more than once was if I could pretty please tell you something funny about Emily. So, I MUST oblige, sorry cousin! Here’s the dirt: when Emily was her daughter Kate’s age of 4 years, she was painfully shy. So shy, in fact, that she would not even talk to my mother, her beloved Aunt Diane. (Whereas I suffered then and now from “cantshutup-itis”.) And my mom is like, the Preschooler Whisperer, she’s a professional, but apparently even though she was her aunt who she saw about once a week, she was too scary for Emily to make eye contact or speak to! Fortuntately, Em’s social skills have come a long way since then. But I gotta laugh when I see Kate’s gregarious personality and think she definitely got that from her daddy!

Have I whetted your appetite? Are you dying to know more?? Email us at jenny[at]momminitup[dot]com or emily[at]momminitup[dot]com and tell us what you wanna know! Or leave a comment! PLEASE!! Or we might have to come up with original content this week and that would suck. 🙂
