Here's a fun idea for weekly questions where we can use some creativity and get to know one another better. It will be harder for me cuz I'm not anonymous here but I'll answer as honestly as possible!

1. How many siblings do you have? Would you ideally like to have more or less?

2. What's your all-time favourite girl's and boy's name?

3. What's your favourite city in Canada?

4. If you could go on any holiday for any length of time, where would it be? Would you bring your kids?

5. Are you afraid of dogs?

1. How many siblings do you have? Would you ideally like to have more or less?

I've got one sibling - a brother - and always wanted to have a sister!

2. What's your all-time favourite girl's and boy's name?

My fave boy's name is Evan and my fave girl's name is Julia or Julianne.

3. What's your favourite city in Canada?

That's a tough one; perhaps Vancouver, Victoria or Quebec City.

4. If you could go on any holiday for any length of time, where would it be? Would you bring your kids?

Gosh, I'd go on a one-year working holiday to a third-world country to volunteer. I hope to do this with our family in the next few years.

5. Are you afraid of dogs?[/quote]

Not really.

Great to see the replies and it's good to get to know more people on this board.  I think I even see a few men's names popping up here too which is great.

Here are some Fabulous Friday Qs:

1. What's your favourite city in the world (even if you've not visited)?

2. How often do you bathe your kids (every day, twice a week, etc.)

3. What's your fave season?

4. What's your biggest regret?

5. What's your biggest success?

Fabulous Friday A's:

1. What's your favourite city in the world (even if you've not visited)?
I'm not a city girl. So I honestly hate the City. But I've been to Vancouver and really enjoyed the scenery and Whistler.

2. How often do you bathe your kids (every day, twice a week, etc.)
Twice a week, depending on the time of year. Summer can be more often or less depending on if we've been swimming a lot.

3. What's your fave season?
Early Fall, when it's still warm and there are no bugs.

4. What's your biggest regret?
Becoming distant with my best friend in highschool, Kelly.

5. What's your biggest success?
Don't have an answer for that one, but I think my son is a pretty big success to me.

1. What's your middle name? Do you like it?
Patricia, it is my grandmothers name. I like it now that I'm older and I see the significance of it. When I was younger I didn't like it.

2. What's your favourite band/singer?
I can't choose just one, my fav's are Nickelback, Hinder and singer would be Chris Daughtry

3. What band/singer annoys you the most?
Anything rap annoys me. I also can't stand that band that has the singer that sings really high piched, can't think of the name of it. It 's a family.

4. What sport or hobby do you hope your kids will do one day?
Never really thought about it. Whatever sport of hobby that interests him would be fine by me.

5. Do you send your kids to Montessori/private/public school?
My son will be starting Public school in September.
