Liebster Award

Shelly at Queen in Between nominated me for the Liebster Award. I am completely overwhelmed! I have not been blogging long and my blog is not any where as amazing as Shelly's and others! Shelly shared the link to a write up of what the Liebster Award is. You can find that here.

Here are the questions that Shelly posted and my answers:


1.  How did you decide on your blog name?

This is a great question! This came pretty naturally to me when I decided to start my blog. I wanted a name that would describe my life and Coach G's Wife says it all. I am coach Greenfield's wife and right now that is what our life revolves around.


2.  What do you love most about blogging?

I love being able to make "friends" with people I might not have ever known. I love seeing what others are going through and how they get through the hard times. I love being able to interact with others in such a unique way. I just hope that one person gets something out of my blogging at one point in their lives that will help them. 


3.  If you were given $1000 how would you spend it?

If it was up to my husband it would be put into savings. If it was up to me I would be buying these beautiful shoes. 

I might pass out if I actually spent all of that money on those shoes but a girl can dream.

4.  What would you love to get paid to do?

I would probably do some of the same I am doing now. I love helping people and I know that is what I have been called to do. I would probably spend a lot of time in Austin advocating for funding for community resources in the rural areas. I would also advocate for programs that support under privileged children to get to participate in youth sports so they would be able to have fun and learn some life lessons :) I love advocating for those that do not have a voice and I love sports. I do believe that so much good can come out of youth sports and I think it could make a difference in a kids life if they had the opportunity to participate. 

5.  What is your favorite season and why?

Fall and Football   Need I say more?


6.  How would you describe your go to outfit?

I am by no means "on top" of fashion but I do enjoy a good outfit. My go to outfit is normally blue jeans, nice pair of flip flops, a cute shirt, my MK watch, ear rings, a purse, and painted toes and finger nails. I blame my aunt for making me fall in love with pedicures. I cannot go without my nails being painted. #firstworldproblems 

7.  What is your best parenting or marriage advice?

Well we do not have any children so I guess I am going to go with best marriage advice. I would say always be supportive. I have worked really long hours before and not been to great at being "present" at home. I have changed jobs, my husband has changed jobs and yet we are always here to support one another. He supports my crazy ideas when I say I am going to work two jobs and go to grad school. He supports me when I stay up till 2 am working on treats for his basketball boys. He is a constant support. I support him when he is working till 8 or 9 pm. I support his dreams of moving up in the education world. I love his dreams. I love that he supports me and gives me the opportunities to reach my dreams. He is my greatest supporter. 

8.  What is your favorite app for photos and why?

I have always used both Shutterfly and Snapfish. I like both. Both are super easy to use and get mailed to me fast. I have never had an issue with either of them. 


9.  Who would play you in a movie about your life?

Either Reese Witherspoon or Sandra Bullock. I love both of them so much! Both are southern girls and I feel like they are both genuine people. 

10. What is your favorite tip for balancing all the "in betweens" in your life?

I really don't know if I have completely figured this out either! I like to think that I have it somewhat together but then there are days that I am just running around every where. I am a planner and I like to be able to plan out things and that helps me kept it all together. I also make a to do list every night before bed of what has to be done the next day #nerdalert 

I think this one will change as our family changes but right now I just know what things are priorities and what are not. For example, today I could have chose to stay home and do my dishes or spend my lunch break at a Bible Study. I went to Bible Study then back to work. As I type this my dishes are still not done but that is okay. The only advice I can give on how to balance anything is to find what is most important and ensure that is made a priority.
