Dishing It

This is a once a month blog party. Click on the Dishing it picture and link up. The topic is a Q and A about Moms.


Q: What's the best thing about your mom?
A: She's the most giving person I know.

Mom came to help me out with the twins. I love this picture. She let me know that I could handle twins and a 2 year old. That confidence in me is just what I needed to hear.

Q: What's your relationship with your mom like? (do you just tolerate each other, or is she your best confidant)?
A: I would say somewhere in between. I do respect her advice. Sometimes I just don't take it.

Q: If there is one quality about your mom that you could emulate, what would it be?
A: Her strength. She emigrated to the United States from Austria soon after WWII with no money, no language, and hardly any family/friends. My mom has the ability to turn nothing into something. If there was ever a natural disaster by us I would turn to her because she could handle anything.

Q: Describe the most embarrassing outfit your mom made you wear when you were growing up?
A: matching dresses for me and my 2 sisters.

Q: What's the best advice your mom has ever given you?
A: To work hard and do your best

Q: What's your favorite thing about motherhood?
A: Teaching them and seeing them grow. My kids are starting to leave the nest and I am in awe of the good people they have become.

Q: What's the most difficult?
A: Having enough energy to do all that needs to be done. Basically taking care of myself so that I can give to my family.

Party on dude!

I'm participating in a brand new party at Serenity Now, called "Dishing It". It's a get-to-know-your-bloggy-neighbor party. Each month there will be a different topic for the participants to discuss so that we can learn more about one another. The ice breaker for this first party is explaining some things about our blog. It's in a Q & A format. So here goes...

1. How long have you been blogging
almost 2 years

2. Why did you start blogging?
My friend started a blog because she had a child in the hospital and I would frequently check her blog to hear updates of her little girl. Before this I had never been to a blog. I decided to start a family blog to record our happenings.

3. Tell me about your blogs title. Why did you choose it?
Since it was a family blog I asked everyone in the fam for their input and "Pulsipher Page" was voted the winning title. It's like a family journal that's where the subtitle came from.

4.What do you blog about?
family of course. I have 5 kids along with one that died soon after birth. So 6 altogether. I have pics of them on the sidebar. I was surprised with my last baby who is now 4. My kids are starting to leave home for college. One of my daughters (the twin) just got engaged so many more family posts to come.

5. What is your favorite thing about blogging?
I have met many wonderful blog friends who I truly consider my friends. I love going to their blogs and commenting on their posts. It's like visiting with a neighbor. Love meeting new blog friends!
I have a lot of craft blogs, decorating blogs and recipe blogs on my reader. Love all the creativity out there.

6. If you had to choose one famous person to become your blog's next devoted reader, who would you pick?
Oprah- maybe she'd take pity on me and give me a car since I have 4 teenagers!

7. What's the funniest comment you've ever received on a blog post?
It was from Barbara. I had just done a post "Whats in your bag?" on the contents of my purse and she commented on how her's was now clean but to please not do one about "Whats in your closet?" because she didn't have time to organize hers since it was a mess.


Please, head on over to Amanda's at Serenity Now and read about some other bloggers!
