Mind the gap - A fill in the blanks meme

As you might guess from the title of this post, this meme is all about filling in the gaps or blanks to let you know a little bit more about me. I was tagged by Clare from A Slice of Life and will tag five other bloggers at the end of my post. But first of all, here's what I've got to say...

I am … a chocaholic, a google junkie, a giggly optimist and a good listener. I am a night owl and I love getting up late (you see, baby isn't here yet). I also love a laugh, haha, and people I can have a good chat or discussion with. I like to think that I am fair and I have absolutely no problem telling people my true opinion when I think they are being out of order to some one. I don't have to feel liked by everyone...

The bravest thing I’ve ever done … I think I have to pass on this one. There is nothing that I have done in my life that I really consider brave. I don't safe people from burning buildings every day, I don't fight for my country in a war zone, but maybe one day there'll be something I can look back on and call brave. I mean, there are still a couple of years to go for me and I don't want to spend them sitting on the sofa...

I feel prettiest when ... I wake up with chaos hair, big bags under my eyes and my boyfriend still looks at me like I'm the prettiest thing he has ever seen. Yes, he makes me feel like this. Isn't that amazing?

Something that keeps me awake at night is ... Twitter. I hate missing the latest gossip. But usually it's a mix of Twitter, my emails or games that I am playing on my phone. I am absolutely addicted to games that want you to find hidden objects in a crammed room. Recently, my boyfriend and I started playing Words with friends, too, so I am looking at my letters for absolute ages trying to find that 125 points word that is going to destroy is heads up...

My favourite meal is ... ehm, I am a serious foodie. I like many different dishes depending on my mood. I love pasta dishes, spicy Indian and Chinese food and I am an absolute sucker for desserts and everything sweet. If I've got the choice I rather skip the starter and have dessert twice - preferably something with lots of chocolate

The way to my heart is ... honesty and a good sense of humour. It's important for me that a person can have a laugh about themselves and doesn't take themselves too serious.

I would like to be ... less afraid of snakes and maybe a bit more patient. All the other things I can work on after pregnancy, I guess.

But now it's all about you, ladies. What information do you fill your blanks with? I am tagging Karin from Cafe Bebe, Carol from Dance Without Sleeping, Karen from All About The Boys, Carly at Mummy's Shoes and Jenny at Mummy Mishaps.

Review: "Love is" calendar from It's your Story

A couple of weeks back "It's your story" sent me a great personalised "Love is.." calendar that made a perfect Christmas present for daddy-to-be.

All I had to do to get the calendar printed was supply some information on my partner and me, e.g. our favourite restaurant and TV series or important anniversaries and our resolutions for the New Year. Within just a couple of days of sending out our personal information, we received a big A3 envelope with our calendar in it and I have to say Ben absolutely loved it. Every month shows a picture of the famous "Love is" couple and leaves lots of space for your own entries, e.g. birthdays, appointments and so on. The best thing is, though, that you have an absolutely unique gift with a personal touch - something I thought Ben would find a bit kitschy. I couldn't have been more wrong, he even proudly presented it to his best mate. If that's not true pride.

All in all, I'm really pleased with our calendar and would definitely recommend "It's your story" to everyone that looks for a present that is that little bit extra special. On their website you can't only personalise calendars but also create lovely books for toddlers and children that make your little one the main character of their favourite fairy tale or bedtime story. I'll definitely be back for some gorgeous birthday presents for my friends and family because with  "It's my story" I can be sure they will get a present nobody else has.
