Today we are spotlighting one of the most hilarious ladies I’ve ever met! I chat with Kerry from HouseTalkN sometimes on Twitter but got to meet her in real life at Haven! Check out more about her below…
Fast Facts
- Blog Name: HouseTalkN
- Twitter? Yes- come chat it up and laugh it up with me! @HouseTalkN
- Facebook? You bet- come “like” HouseTalkN!
- Location? We are living the dream, baby. We are raising our family in an ”old town” neighborhood in Illinois. Think baseball games, block parties, neighborhood hide and seek, sprinklers and a wild rumpus of children!
- Salty or Sweet Snacks? I’m friend of all snacks but chocolate is my vice!
- Can’t live without? Coffee The sound of my kiddos playing outside.
- Favorite Magazine? When I actually had time to read a magazine, my favorite was Country Living.
- Favorite Book? Fried Green Tomatoes or Cider House Rules.
- Beach or Mountains? Give me a book on the beach any day!
- Coffee or Tea? Tea feels too prissy for my personality. I always giggle and raise my pinky. I’m a staunch coffee gulper!
Q: When did you start your blog and why? My sister called me a big ole chicken…I believe her exact words were “Shut up and do it, already…ya big ole chicken!” I had only read 2 blogs so I had no idea what I was getting into. I just had my one year blogiversary and I have loved every second of it!
Q: What is your favorite thing about blogging? I knew that I would love the photography, the house snooping admiring, and the shenanigans with my gal pals. The icing on the cake has been the super supportive, creative and funny blogging community!
Q: What is the hardest thing about blogging for you? I have more ideas than I have time to attack. While I love blogging, it takes a backseat to baseball games, cookouts, and laundry. Ok, so…the laundry has been taking a backseat to blogging.
Q: In your wildest dreams, where do you hope your blog takes you? There is a sponsor out there just looking for me right now. They are going to send me and my family all around the world to lookiloo at the world’s most beautiful homes. It could happen. Until then, I am happy to see what shows up on the other end of my lens.
Q: So far, what is your favorite blog post that you’ve written? I loved sharing the house tour and outtakes of “A Devine House Tour” because it married my love of historic homes with my love of practical jokes.
Q: What’s one thing that you wished you knew how to do? I wish I could sew. I have a sewing machine and every once in awhile, I give it a whirl. I always wind up putting the pedal to the medal. I can’t help myself.
Q: Anything else we should know about you? I was a teacher for 18 years and as of June 1st, I am a free agent! While teaching was a wonderful experience, this blogging gig is calling me home.
So, that was Kerry from HouseTalkN! Isn’t she a hoot?! Now stop sitting there on your hands and go check out her blog! And while you are at it, go like her on Facebook and follow her on Twtter too.
