This week we are talking with Tricia at Today with the Tennerys:

Good morning, Tricia!  Thanks for stopping by!  I've got my Caramel Drizzle KCup all ready (with a little Coconut Creamer) and I'm all ready for our chat!  What are you drinking this morning?

Water, I started dieting about six weeks ago and all I drink now is water.  I say "diet," but I really still eat the same foods, I just only drink water.

It is amazing, though, how much changing what we drink can help us lose a little weight, though!  The only time I was really successful in a diet was when I did Weight Watchers one year and the biggest change I made was to stop drinking regular Pepsi!  I think I lost almost 35 pounds in 9 months!

So, introduce yourself to our readers.

In person, it's normally something like, "I'm Tricia, Ellyssa's/Alex's mom.  However, my name is Tricia Tennery, CPhT, A.S. and blogger.  I'm a stay at home mom, but I do have my Associate Degree and I'm a Certified Pharmacy Technician.

What made you decide to start a blog?

"I started blogging because it was cheaper than therapy." Says every blogger.  No, I actually started as a form of "lazy" scrap booking.  I'm just too lazy to do all that scrap booking that a lot of moms do, so I thought maybe I could blog it and then have a book printed.  Since then my blog has grown to 200+ followers and I'm totally loving it, as well as reading other blogs and their point of view on motherhood.


What is one post that you want everyone who comes to your blog to read and what was your inspiration for writing that post? 

It would have to be Struggling with Labels.  I wrote this when I finally accepted my son's diagnosis.  I hid it for a month or so, but then I realized I need to face it.

Right now we see your blog as a place where we can learn about your family and connect with other bloggers.  Is this how you intend others to view your blog? Where do you see your blog going and growing to in the future?  

My blog is my family blog, written to my family and for my family, to be put into a book once a year.  It is what I intended, only bigger :)  In the future, I just want to reach more readers and maybe my words can inspire them, as we may be going through some of the same things.  It's nice to read that your family isn't the only family going through challenges.


What makes you "More than a Mommy"?  Give us a little peek at the who Tricia is! 

I love wearing flip-flops and still have a weakness for sweet tea.  I love listening to the rain at night time, now that's good sleep.  I love learning sign language, which is my son's only way to communicate right now.  I love being a friend and being there for those when the need me.  I love being a wife to my best friend and I love being a daughter to my wonderful parents.

Thanks so much for stopping by, Tricia!  We look forward to reading more about your family and their adventures!

Now it's time to give Tricia a little "More Than Mommy" love!  Stop on over to her blog, Today with the Tennerys, and tell her that Janene and Christine sent you!  Leave her a quick comment - because we all know how much bloggers LIVE for comments!
