1. Tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Katie, my husband is Ben,
Chestnut Mocha is our journal for little moments and adventures together. Expect to see: our new life in a small town in the mountains, our favorite things and dates, our baby bunny, home, food, outfits... anything that we're into at the moment.
2. What made you decide to start blogging?
Ben and I were in a long distance relationship for a year and when we finally got together we decided to start a journal to document all the moments and adventures in our new life.
3. What are your favorite things to blog about? Favorite posts?
Things that we want to remember, that make us smile and appreciate small things in life. My favorite posts are about us spending time together, whether it's a hike, a picnic, a dinner date, a thrifting hunt, a road trip.. you name it!
4. What, or who, inspires you the most?
I always had hard time picking my favorites, I guess it's because I have a very short attention span and I get into new things and ideas all the time. I should probably say every day I find something new to be interested in and inspired by.
5. What's your favorite past time?
Spending time with the family and people I love. It was always very important for me but since we moved across the ocean from my family I value every opportunity to be with Ben and our families more than ever.
6. Favorite blog reads?
I've met some wonderful friends online through the blogs and I try to always read what they post. I follow some blogs mainly for their visual component, I enjoy scrolling through them and looking at the photos: blogs like
Ulicam,
Sweet Harvest Moon and
Liebemarlene.
7. Favorite music / band to listen to?
Depends on my mood, it can be anything from Pink Martini to The Beatles.
8. If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?
I want to be able to spend time with my family at least once a week, cancel dark grey winters and learn to love running.
9. What's one unique talent that you have?
I can flip a fried egg or omelet in a pan, haha, Ben likes when I do it.
10. What are you looking to accomplish this year?
Celebrate our 1st anniversary, make a trip home to Russia, try fly fishing with Ben's dad at least once, shoot a movie, go on a road trip in the South, etc., etc. I have long lists of things I want to do, I'll be blogging about our adventures :-)
