Q:  Please tell us a bit about yourself.  Where are you from and where are you now?

A:  I was born in the small town of Russellville Kentucky, but raised in the Nashville Tennessee area.  I have one daughter and love the outdoors.

Q:  Tell us about your beautiful baby girl.

A:  Emma Lynn just turned 4 this summer and she is the most energetic, fun, loving, sweet, crazy, and funniest girl I know. 

Q:  What did you do in your previous life?  Pre-Matilda Jane?

A:  I went to college for Accounting and while in school I took up Bartending.  Soon I realized that the service industry is where the money is at. lol I actually still bartend a few days a week (when not a shows of course).

Q:  What is your favorite part of working for Matilda Jane?

A:  Oh man.. I think it has to be the great friendships I have made along the way.  My fellow up line trunk keeper is one of the best women I know (I secretly want to be like her minus the 5 kids lol) and the customers!!! I don’t think of them as customers they are more like new friends in the making.

Q:  If you could wear one item every day, what would that be?

A:  Finn pants of course.  I will admit that on occasion I have slept in them and that new waist band is amazing, no wonder they are selling like hotcakes!!

 

Q:  Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

A:  Hopefully still with MJC!! I also would love to meet Mr. Right and complete my little family.

Q:  What are your favorite blogs or websites you visit EVERY day?

A:  Will people throw rocks at me if I say I am not a blogger??  Of course I do love MJ’s blog and love love pinterest .

Q:  Besides your children, what has your greatest accomplishment been thus far?

A:  I think staying true to myself and not settling for second best. I have had many heart breaks, but know that God has a better plan for me and if I continue to do my best good things will come my way.

Q:  Share with us just ONE very important thing you do to try to leave this world a better place.

A:  Treating everyone with kindness and respect.  My momma always told me to treat people the way you would like to be treated. I feel if you follow this the world would be a better place.

Q:  What is your favorite holiday and why?

A:  Thanksgiving.. I love getting together with family and the food is amazing.. I mean who doesn’t love to cheat during the holidays..

Q:  How have you learned to balance life with the many, many hats you wear?

A:  It’s very hard as a single mom, but I have a great family that supports and helps out. I mean some days I ask myself why I am doing all of this, but then look at my daughter and know that all my hard work is for her.

Q:  What is the most valuable lesson you hope to instill in your children?

A:  Hopefully I teach her many, but if she only takes in one I want her to live life to the fullest with no regrets and to be proud of herself.

Q:  Salty or sweet?

A:  Is it bad that I am not a sweet person?? I am more of a salty cashew and a sour candy kind of girl.

Q:  What do you love most about having kids?

A:  The free entertainment of course.. It’s never a dull moment I just can’t wait to hear what is going to come out of that sassy girl next.

Q:  If you could have lunch with any celebrity, who would you choose and why?

A:  Hmmm… Maybe Channing Tatum or David Beckham to see if the will have a shorties photo shoot for all of you MJC Look book fans..Lol

Q:  If you could have Sam design any item for Matilda Jane, what would it be and why?
