A Game of TAG | HIP Studio Baby and Family Photography

I know that many people have seen various iterations of this “game”. I have only personally participated in a blog tag game once, but it has been a while so I thought I’d do it again! So here’s how this one will go. If you received a TAG email that linked you here, this is what you need to do. Create a blog entry in the next couple days that tags 5 other bloggers. Here are my 5 tagged bloggers and how I know them:

1. Trace-Ann Green - I’ve known Trace-Ann for a few years now. She is one of the most creative people that I know who has a desk job! I love getting ideas from her blog about style, etsy finds, interesting reads. She’s the woman when it comes to planning fun things for her 6 year old to do! I pale in comparison. Thanks for always being an inspiration girl!
2. Cheryl Weaver - Cheryl is a fabulous photographer that I met a few years ago while attending a photography workshop. We’ve lost touch a bit recently, but I keep tabs on her through facebook and her blog! She does some amazing and creative senior and family photography work and has recently moved south, I hear! 
3. Jual Harman - I have only personally met Jual once through a mutual friend, but I feel like I know her since I’ve followed her journey through her blog. She is an amazing woman and I think of her often.
4. The Ivey‘s – Chris is one of the only dad’s I know that runs the family blog and I love it! I’ve known Chris for quite a while, in fact he probably takes a little credit for my and Marc’s marriage
5. Ingrid Kaslik –  Ingrid is a California transplant that I met a few months ago at a Northern Virginia photographer’s get together. She has so much energy and is a constant inspiration! I love this lady!

Ok so now that we’ve identified my tagees, here’s your questions:

1. Name 1 thing that most people in the blogging world do not know about you.
2. Name something or someone that inspires you.
3. What’s playing on your iPod right now?
4. What’s the last book that you read?
5. What is your favorite sport and why?

NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: Once you’ve answered these questions, send the tag on to 5 more bloggers, include a link back to this blog, and leave me a comment!

OK, OK… I’ll answer the questions myself too. Here goes:

1. My first baby, even before Hannah, was an English Springer Spaniel. His name is Copper and he is 11 years old. He has slowly slid down the totem pole as each of the kids made their entry into the world.
2. Heather Bailey – nuff said
3. Trouble by Ray LaMontagne shamelessly followed by Party in the U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus (hey, I do have an 8 year old)
4. Oh dear, this is another hanging my head in shame. Around Thanksgiving of last year, I went on a crazy book reading rampage with the Twilight Series… I read all the books in a week. I promptly gave them all away and haven’t picked up a book since then.
5. Football is the only sport that I can actually watch without falling asleep! I don’t really like NFL football but I can watch it. College football is where it’s at!
