30 Things About Me

   I am happy and excited that my little business is growing! I decided I would share a little about myself with you all. I found a questionnaire on this blog and and tweaked it a bit. I hope you enjoy!

Name // Paige Tillie, Tillie is after one of paternal great grandmother's. 

Age // 29

Zodiac Sign // Gemini - I grew up with my mother and sister also being Gemini's... it was wild at times!

Nationality // According to Ancestry, I am 23% Eastern European (Polish, Yugoslavian/Czechoslovakian), 22% Great Britain, 18% Scandinavian, 15% Western European (German), 12% Southern European (Italian/Greek), 6% Finland/NW Russian, and 4% Irish. Many of these are a big surprise to me! Genealogy fascinates me by the way! I was either going to be a nurse or history major!

Fears // Driving over bridges close to the water, losing my children and husband

Favorite Holiday // Christmas, I love getting the house decorated and the way it makes me feel. It makes me remember Christmas' when I was a kid. Playing music, tricking my dad into eating a warhead every year. Going to church in my new dress. Waking up to find Santa's presents. I want to let my children experience these magical moments.

A confession // I am always in my head, I overthink everything. Thankfully I have Jared to be my sounding board.

Things that annoys me // Loud eaters, it literally makes me cringe. I think I have mysophonia

Favorite animal // Horse for sure, I used to have one I named Bingo. They are the most gentle creatures. You have to take time and gain their trust. I always wanted a farm to have my own one day. 

Pets // We have two cats, Molly and Max. They were our first babies. With the cat hair though, I will never own another indoor animal.

​An embarrassing moment // I am really good at sticking my foot in my mouth. With age I am getting better ha... I was getting a massage for the first time in a few years. I forgot if I was supposed to get completely undressed. I went to ask and as I was opening the door, the massage therapist was on the other side opening the door. She literally jumped three feet in the air and was clenching her chest. It was horrible and I couldn't relax during the whole massage! HA

Favorite store // ELEGANT MOMMY of course. Check them out. They have everything a pregnant woman/mom could need. I once went through every room in my house, my garage and both vehicles. I have something in every room!

Something I fantasize about // Sleeping all night long, sleeping in in the morning... ahh to be 24 again. I work evenings and get home a little before midnight. With kids up at night and being up early in the morning I am learning to be a functioning zombie.

Where I work // I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Registered Nurse. I work part time at an inpatient Behavioral Health Center and I teach Birth Boot Camp childbirth classes.

Favorite band // Matchbox Twenty, Jewel, Brooks and Dunn

Favorite food
// My favorite food of all time is called petahe, also known as three corners, cheese buttons, pyrohy. They are Ukrainian, my mother in law's specialty. Basically they are a noodle dough, filled with a cottage cheese mixture. They are boiled then covered with fried onions in butter and sour cream. 

This is a Christmas eve tradition with my husbands family. We just made them last night because we were craving them!

This is followed close by Crave's Tropical Poke Bowl... it is literally amazing!

​Favorite drink //
 Diet pepsi... yes I know it's not good to drink. I am trying to end my obsession. 

Favorite book // Still Alice by Lisa Genova

Favorite Movie // The Life of David Gale, Zootopia

Favorite TV shows // Parenthood, This is Us, Law and Order: SVU

​Things I find attractive // Being genuine, hardworking, sense of humor

My idea of a perfect date // Dinner followed by the Johnny Holm Band! We were able to have this date a few months ago and it was so much fun.

How many siblings do I have // I have two older sisters, an older brother and a little sister.

​
Something I am talented at // I am really good at crocheting. I have been working on things for probably 15 years. I can make almost anything with yarn.

​Things I love // My family, summer nights, vacations, smores, belly laughs from my kids, the smell of my husband's cologne, finishing a good book, finishing a crochet piece

Number of kids I want // Well before kids I said 4-5... now that I have two and don't get sleep I am thinking 3 eventually... Every day we change our minds. Check up with us in 5 years!

Can I cook // Yes! I love to cook and bake. I wish I had a person devoted to cleaning up my mess though!

Favorite Color // Well since my house, our truck (and all my past vehicles), our recliner, washer and drier are all red... I say red :) Thanks grandma 

Turn offs // Bad drivers, being self-centered, narcissism

How I feel right now // Tired... both kids have a cold, M is teething which equates to very little sleep. I try to remember my mantra that gets me through the hard times, "This is only a phase."

​
​Someone I miss // My dad, he died ten years ago. For my sisters 21st birthday my mom and I made her a bracelet that has my dads handwriting on it. They surprised me with one as well! I love having a piece of him with me. Check out Say Anything Jewelry.

​That is enough about me. I would love to hear from you! If this reaches you, please comment below! Tell me something that makes you unique.

​Also, if you were stranded on a desert island for one year and could take two things with you, what would they be?

If I am going to write thirty things about myself, I will be the first one to get surprised each time I remember I used to say I only have ten years to live when I was thirty. I am not thirty six and I just remembered that. Now I feel I need to panic because if it's true, I only have four years to live. I don't think life really begins at forty for women like me. I am looking at myself in the mirror and I see a girl trying so hard to bring back the way it used to be. I totally have lost interest in almost everything and it's really a struggle to come up with my own list of things about me because I feel my life is so bland.

What Clients Are Saying

"Paige was friendly, very easy to work with, and super efficient allowing us to get great family photos without having to spend much time doing it! Her efficiency earned serious mad props from our kids, and I love looking at the beautiful family portraits around our home knowing that the smiles are genuine and not ones we had to force because we’d been at it for so long. We’ll definitely be calling Paige when it’s time for an update!" Shannon
