We are excited to introduce Chrissy from A Lil Dash of Diva for our next Meet the Locals spotlight.
Tell us more about your site, you, and your family.
I’m Chrissy from A Little Dash of Diva! My blog offers a look at my life in general; from photography to my struggles with infertility and PCOS as well as my love of makeup and all things girly, pink and sparkly. I talk about my family and I try to keep things as real as possible. I love linkups and blog hops and you can expect a few reviews and giveaways sprinkled in along the way. I’m a SAHM to one beautiful 8 year old daughter and a 3 year old Boxer. my husband and I have been married for 9 years now. As a family we love to travel, hike, go on photo walks, and just be together.
What are your favorite places to visit around the valley?
One of my favorite parks is Rio Vista in the West Valley, there are so many different things to do there that it’s just a great place to meet up with friends and family. My favorite restaurant is Carolina’s Mexican Kitchen. So good! As for craft store, is there anything better than Hobby Lobby?! They just opened one a few miles from my house so I’m loving that!
What is your favorite vacation spot in Arizona?
I love Sedona. It’s not too far out of Phoenix but it is so different than being in the Valley that it has always been one of my favorite places to get away to.
What is your favorite type of food?
I love Mexican food and Italian food but, my favorite comfort food is mashed potatoes.
What are some of your favorite posts?
You also have a list called 40 by 40. Why and which ones are you working on next?
The big one that I’m working on is losing weight and getting fit and healthy. I’m just at the point in life where I need to do it to be healthy and not for how good I will look. Another big one that Hubby and I are working on together is getting out of debt. We’ve made a lot of progress and have cleaned it up a lot so we just are going to keep plugging away at that. Our hope is to get to the point where we can buy a house. The last big one that I’m hoping to accomplish this year is getting to a blog conference. I want to grow my blog and I think I will have more success if I can surround myself with people who know more than me!
What are your favorite events to attend in Arizona each year?
There are generally not a lot of big events that we go to every year. We do love Glendale Glitters so we try to make it out to that every Christmas. We also really like the APS Light Parade, again at Christmas time.
What is your favorite season and why?
I love fall in Arizona! I love when the temps are finally cooling off and it’s time for college football and having the windows open in the house. I love the sweaters and boots and jeans, the hot apple cider and getting ready for the holidays.
ASU or UofA?
ASU if I have to pick out of those two! I’m a big Notre Dame and Iowa Hawkeyes fan!
