I spent all weekend cleaning up blog posts. My recipe plugin hadn’t been updated in over a year, and it was causing some backend problems on my site. I couldn’t write or edit any posts, so it was time to dump it and get something new. I did that, and then I had to import over 300 recipes. It took a long time.
While I was sitting outside with my laptop, watching the girls play, Grace asked if she could write a blog post.
“Yeah, what do you want to talk about?” I asked.
“Isabella,” she said. That’s her American Girl doll.
“What do you want to say about her?” I asked.
She didn’t know. She thought about it for a few minutes, and then she said, “I know. It would be good if you interviewed me and Allie and posted that on your blog.”
I agreed that it was a good idea, and I set out to think of some interview questions. I love these kinds of interviews, and I never manage to keep safe the birthday interviews I do with the girls. I should put them in the baby books, but I never get around to it.
The questions I came up with follow, with both Grace’s (age 9) and Allie’s (age 5 1/2) answers.
You could print this out and put it in your baby books. If you’re anything like me, it will be the first entry in years.
