Five For Friends: Week 5

J9 Designs· Writing/Blogging

We are now on Week 5 of Five for Friends and am so happy to again linkup and share my answers to the five question posed to me this week.  Sit back and enjoy!!
 
Friends, This Mom's Confessions

1. If you could switch blogs with another blogger, who would it be and why?

There are quite a few that I love and wish I could switch with just even for a day.  I will pick two of my favorites though and say either Lanaya from Raising Reagan,or Kera from Nugget on A Budget.  Seriously, both these ladies always know how to put a smile on my face and not only love them, but their blogs, too.  So switching with them would surely be fun!!  But trust there are a few more, too, but just too many to list!!

Would Switch With if I Could!!

And Would Switch With Lanaya, Too!!  

2. What is/are your favorite bloghop(s)?

I love co-hosting FTSF, because it really has helped me get to know other bloggers through having a linkup on my very own site, plus I love to see how others would finish the sentence of the week..  I also love linking up on 10 Things of Thankful on Saturdays with Lizzi from Considerings, because it is the best and most positve way to end my weeks.  Also love joining in on Super Sunday Sync with Dawn from Dawn’s Disaster and Kera  from Nugget On a Budget, as well as joining Raising Imperfections, co-hosted by Leslie from Violet Imperfections and Lanaya from Raising Reagan, because these two make my Sundays much brighter.

3. What is the best thing that blogging has taught you?  

Blogging has taught me how to truly have something for me, as well as web/graphic design to start up my very, own business with J9 Designs.  With all the wonderful connections I have made through blogging, I truly have a hard time remembering when it wasn’t focal in my life and something that was just here for me.  Really has given me such a sense of self-worth and am so thankful for that.

4. If you could turn back time, what would you change about your life?

I actually delved into this during last week’s FTSF and will not repeat this topic.  If missed you missed my answer, please click here to see my answer.  Hint it has a lot to do with education and student debt!
 

5. Recommend 5 wonderful movies worth watching. Why do you love these movies?  

This is yet again a topic I covered for FTSF and to see my comedic choices, please click here.

    okay, so I have a question…how do you remember all the posts you did? I want to link back sometimes but forget what the post was, LOL… of course I could search and not be lazy, Love that blogging not only was a way for you to connect with yourself, but also helped you find your business babe 🙂
    My recent post Mommy’s Meals

    • Janine Huldie says

      Karen, I remember a lot, but what I don't I go into the search box on the links and search for the actual link to linkup. And for this one, I really had answered some of these questions previously, so I truly didn't feel like repeating the same answers, so he links worked nicely!! 🙂

      • dawn says

        I have to search my previous ones all the time, too! I just started tagging my posts, and I still have a lot of prior ones to do, but that helps, too. Someone day, I'll put my labels up on my blog for other people to use, too 😉
        My recent post 20 Tuesdays~Week 7

      • Janine Huldie says

        I know Dawn and thought why should I write something I already wrote and decided to link those up. I mean we write so much for FTSF and these topic just truly overlapped for me. Love when that happens and makes life a bit easier!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Robin, I know I was the same way at first, but so glad that I have made the connections I have and just so blessed for that for sure!! 🙂

  4. NuggetOnABudget says

    Awe Janine! Thanks for the multiple shout outs and helping to promote my blog and the Super Sunday Sync. You're awesome 🙂 I would totally switch blogs with you or Lanaya too, just to see how each of you run your blogs and of course how you manage to run J9 Designs so successfully along with all else that you do! I love that blogging has helped you start your own business and I truly hope it just continues to grow from here. I would totally try my hand at blog design too because I love it, but right now with the baby coming I can't take on too much lol. So i'll leave it up to you 🙂 xoxo!
    My recent post it's okay…turned into a link party!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Totally my pleasure Kera and as soon as I saw the question, I knew the answer!! And I will say that if you ever do decide to do blog designs down the road, think you would love it, but can understand not wanting to take that on right now with the baby coming. Trust me, I don't think I could have done all this when Lily was a newborn. I probably would have had a nervous breakdown and she was a relatively good baby!! Thanks as always though!! 🙂 xoxo!!

  5. Amy {Consider Me Inspired} says

    Great questions and answers. It makes me really miss being able to just go link up every where, but it seems like endless to do lists for a while now. You do a great job with your blog and picked some great bloggers.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thank you Amy and trust me I have other linkups I want to do and just don't have enough time int he week to do them all. So I know the feeling a bit too!!

  7. Billybuc says

    it is seven a.m. and I'm already behind for the day, Janine. I'm not sure how that happens. LOL Have a great day!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh Bill been there too many times myself and feel for you. Hoping things quiet down slightly now for you and the rest of your day goes smoothly now!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh thanks Melanie and I really did have so much fun creating this one. And hope you indeed did warm up a bit now and have a great day, too!! 🙂

  9. Michelle Liew says

    Hope that your week's off to a good start, and you're right, if we could switch blogs, there'd be too many too list, so I won't! Thanks for sharing, J9! My latest from Pets Aware http://petsawarenews.com/?p=388
    My recent post Of shades of grey

    • Janine Huldie says

      I know Michelle, I listed a few, but knew I would be missing someone, so needed to clarify that!! And my pleasure sharing and hoping the week is going good so far, too!! 🙂

  10. Lanaya says

    Aww … thanks for wanting to switch blogs with me! That is too sweet. I have a lot of fun doing design like you and while I doubt I'll make a side business out of it I do like to dawdle.
    I'll leave the rest to the professional — 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      And I am so happy you asked me to join. Love you and can't thank you enough for wanting me to be a part and seriously had a huge list, but couldn't write them all here if I tried, but settled on the two to at least introduce others here who may not know them 🙂

  12. Ruchira says

    Great answers, j9

    I love your FTSF and it tickles my brain thus, love the challenge!

    I gotta check out those awesome bloggers whom you mentioned in your first answer…must be awesome!

    Your J9 design is so appropriate to your name…very creative 🙂

    Voted for ya, my friend!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh so happy you love FTSF Ruchira and we have so much fun doing this one up for sure!! And hope you do check out some of these other bloggers, you will not be disappointed and thank you as always!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      It was truly a hard question, but I am glad I prefaced it that I could have picked more just couldn't even think of all. And I know it was nice not to have to re-invent the wheel on those questions!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Totally with you on this Michelle (and you being one of those connections) and I know I wish I too could be a bit funnier at times, too. So I can relate!!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh thank you as always Christy and just feel truly blessed to be friends with you. So happy for that and you know you too make a huge difference in the blogging sphere!!! 🙂
