I’M BOLD!
Boldest move to date…went to Hawaii on vacation and didn’t come back. I loved it so much I stayed. Lived there with the clothes I packed for vacation and worked some temp jobs. Don’t regret the decision either. I’ve since moved back…not everyone can live in paradise forever.

I’m not too bold – but I did paint one wall of my daughter’s room in an argyle pattern! So I guess you could say I’m more preppy than bold.
Nicole P. says
I’M BOLD!
But, really, I’m not. :P I’m not much of a bold/brave risk taker.

I’M BOLD!
I actually did cut all my hair off! It used to be mid-back and I cut it all Natalie Portman/Mia Farrow style and LOVED it. I’m back to growing it out for now as kinda my last Hoorah of long hair since it will probably be short for the rest of my life.
Kaitlyn says

I recently quit my job (in advertising) so that I can go back to school, get my teaching credential, and teach kindergarten!

I’M BOLD! I told my date to come up for a coffee and after that, that I didn’t want him to leave. 8 years later he’s still around… as my husband, but sometimes as a date too ;-)
Kate Hoof says
I’m Bold!
Three years ago I responded to a request in Runner’s World magazine that asked: “Who wants to run a 90 minute half marathon?” I entered thinking, “There’s no way I’ll be picked.” Two months later I had a coach, a nutritionist, and a physical therapist helping me along to achieve this 6:50 pace for 13 miles. My stomach was in knots for the entire 10 weeks of training. On race day a videographer and photographer followed me on motorcycle during the entire race. After mile two, I was hoping just to finish I was so nervous. I missed my goal by over 10 minutes, but was happy that I finished.
I enjoy your blog!
Thanks,
Kate

I’M BOLD!
Mmmmm, something brave that I’ve done. Honestly, I think being a mom is kinda brave. Is that a lame, silly answer? I don’t know.
Regardless, I love the “Houses & Birds” print.
Ashley E. says
I’M BOLD! I grabbed my now-husband for a big kiss as he was walking away after our first date. It was definitely a good idea :)
Thanks for the giveaway!

AmyLynn says
I’M BOLD! My husband and I bought our dream house a year ago. One that a professional remodeler walked in and out of and said to us “good luck”. It’s taken a year to get it to where other people can see potential in it. So much history and so many stories, we wouldn’t trade our 100 year old project for anything!
