Hey guys! I am currently blogging during a super short work break at the gym right now, so I don’t have much time, but I figured popping in for a quick blog survey might be fun!
You guys know by now how much I love a good blog survey. I always enjoy reading them on other blogs and they’re a lighthearted way to break up normal blogging a bit from time to time.
Today’s survey comes from my friend Leah who sent this my way since she knows I have a hard time shying away from silly little surveys on the blog. It follows the alphabet and, as always, I’d love for you guys to play along in the comments section!
