The Blogging Mommy is… – Carla D’ Pace
Her Kiddos are… – beautiful step daughter Victoria
Her location is… – Surrey, Great Britain
How old are you now and how old are your munchkins? – I’m 22 years old, and Tori is 2
If you could describe your child in 3 words what would they be? – Smart, sweet, & a little clingy lol!
What’s an average day like for you these days? – Well I work full time, so we get up and get going for the day at 5am, get dressed and have breakfast. I’m out the door at 5:45am and Tori and daddy finish getting ready and leave around 6:15am. I get off work around 5:00, pick up Victoria from daycare and we usually get home around 5:30pm, have dinner, play together and then bath and bed time at 8.
Weekends are much more fun and games though!
If you had a day all to yourself (kid free & lottery financed) how would you spend it? – Shopping! lol! then Dinner at a expensive restaurant with my sweetheart and cath a cool theatre play
What would you say your parenting style is like? – pretty relaxed I think. But there are areas I feel really strongly about, specially when it comes to health and development, and I’m pretty strict on those!
What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of? – I have enough problems! lol! Now really, I have a lot of blessings in my life including my wondeful family and the fact that I feel I have achieved all my life goals so far (like career wise), and I’m very lucky to say we don’t lack anything material at least.
I would luuuv more time! I swear I need like 28 hours in one day to get everything done! . and I would like less “ex’s” drama! blah…
How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad of your kids? Who has whose last name? – We are a blended family, I don’t have any biological children yet, and Tori’s from Phillip’s first marriage. She’s with us 50% of the time, and in the last year our relationship has changed and grown like you wouldn’t believe! We went from almost completely strangers to great friends! (Thank goodness!) and DF likes that I’m actively involved with Victoria, and that just makes it so much greater! though it wasn’t easy at first to find my place there, trust me!
What are some of your pet peeves? – #1 it’s bad drivers! Jesus! another big one would be rude ppl in general.
What are the most unique things about yourself? – I’m a pretty open minded person, and I’m willing to try almost anything and everything in life! I’m also very loyal, and I’m proud of that!
I’m the most EMOTIONAL woman you’ll ever meet! I’m not sure that’s quite “unique” but I guess it’s a big part of what makes me, well ME! I’m also very romantic when I want to be, but that’s not too often hahaha.
And finally, what’s your writing/blogging style? – hmmm IDK, this if my first time blogging, so you tell me!
Thanks for posting Carla! I look forward to hearing about your life as an actively parenting step-mom. It is a new perspective for our blogs so it should be very interesting to read!
