When I started blogging back in 2007, memes were all the rage and I loved it. That was one of the reasons why I started blogging. To share, to document, to network with other bloggers and to just have a good time. I never thought in a million years blogging would give me awesome opportunities in working with brands, attending blog events and at times, traveling with all expenses paid.
Never!
But while browsing through my favorite blogs (I have TONS of favorites), I came across a fun “About Me” meme from ThetaMom.com. I remember I used to love reading all types of memes on other blogs and also from time to time do them myself. While Thetamom posted 48 questions, I decided on 50 just to make it even.
