Interview with Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama

I  just landed in the good ole’ U.S. of A. last night and boy is it good to be back!!! I could not be happier to be here for the next two months. Today is a very exciting day for me…I get to interview Delilah at Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama! I seriously have a blog crush on her. We have talked about getting BFF  necklaces for a while now..and I think it might have to happen:)  Everyday I read her blog and I laugh…hysterically. My husband thinks I am crazy because I just sit at the computer and die laughing! And I literally refer to her in our house, by name, as if I have known her forever…because I feel like I have. We really hit it off and she is absolutely fantastic. Straight to the point, funny, loving, and a great friend! I just know you will love her as much as I do and I am so excited for you to get to know her better! So here she is….:) Enjoy!!

Hey y’all! You can call me Delilah! I’m the mommy to 5, wife to 1, and warden to a psychotic dog! I’m a self-confessed socially awkward, southern girl with sass. I share my sometimes-successful attempts at domestication, motherhood, and life in general on my blog, Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama. I’m definitely not the next June Cleaver but my kids are still alive, my house hasn’t been condemned, and I still have all my own hair. I’m just a mom- that’s my superpower. Welcome to my Semi-Domesticated Life. I hope you brought wine.

I’ve been blogging for 4.5 years but I just launched Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama in January of this year.

What is your favorite summer activity to do with the family?

<br?

We love going to our neighborhood pool and that’s where we spend almost every afternoon. We also love to go to the free concerts in the park that our city holds every summer.

 

What is your favorite hobby?

 

Blogging ;)  With so many kids, it’s practically my only hobby. Unless you count laundry, which I do not. I like to read but it takes me forever to finish a book these days.

 

Favorite 3 posts on your blog?

 

 

 

 

What advice do you have for those out there that are just starting to blog?  

 

Be yourself. Don’t be intimidated and don’t try to copy someone else. People want to get to know the real YOU, not a persona. And learn balance and perspective in a hurry or blogging can take over your life.

 

You don’t hold anything back on your blog..how do you deal with the negativity that is out there sometimes through comments?

 

I laugh. And plot all the horrible things that could happen to them when karma finally catches up with them. There will always be mean girls. You can’t control what they say to or about you but you can control the way you react to it.
Rise above and show class, others will notice. I refuse to sink to those levels. Mean comments get deleted with no explanation.

 

What one thing are you most looking forward to?

 

I’m looking forward to being out of the baby stage in our house. Our youngest is almost 2 now. We just took down all the baby gates and she’s about to transition to a toddler bed. I look forward to being able to do more fun activities as a family, things that are hard to do with a baby in tow. We’ve had at least one child in diapers for almost 12 years, that’s a lot of diapers. I’m ready for the next stage in our lives.

 

Thanks Delilah for letting me interview you! You seriously rock and I heart you!! Check out her favorite posts if you need a laugh! While you are there, feel free to browse around…not only is she hilarious, but she also makes some amazingly delish desserts! I have made a couple of them and have yet to be disappointed! Yum!  We also are co-hosting a giveaway together here! Come check it out!!
