Welcome to Oh My Blog! A brand new monthly interview series featuring a whole host of fellow bloggers. Each month, we’ll be bringing you different themed posts showcasing the very best bloggers out there. This month, the questions are based on the fitting February topic of love!

 

This month, we’re meeting Gemma from Life Is Knutts.

Hi! My name is Gemma and I am a mum to 3 boys aged 8, 7 and 2.5. I live in leafy Surrey and I write a load of random ramble (also known as a blog) called, Life is Knutts. It's a lighthearted blog (I really try not to take life too seriously) and my blog is full of amusing parenting anecdotes, baking and cocktail recipes (I am extremely partial to a spot of Gin) and write ups about days out/holidays we have.

I am married. Though if my husband keeps leaving his pants on the bathroom floor for me to pick up, that status may change.

No. I am so boring but I really do think it's another commercialised marketing scam created to get us to spend more money on shite we don't need or want. I think it's nice if you're dating maybe or trying to 'woo' someone (god, I sounded all Shakespearean then didn't I?!) but I am not a fan myself.

Pizza Express. That is where my now husband took me for the first time and we split the bill. So romantic.

Erm...oh god. Now you're asking. My husband doesn't do romance, or surprises. He did get me a DVD box set of the Godfather for my 30th birthday. I know that doesn't sound at all romantic, Italian gangsters leaving horse heads in people's beds, but we watched the film on Honeymoon in Iceland when we got snowed in for a day and he decided to get the DVD for me for my birthday as a memento. Kind of romantic I guess...

Oh crikey. Another one I'm not sure of because I hardly get to watch Rom-coms. I would probably go with Bridget Jones's Diary. A great mix of funny and romance.

Haha! Can I make a list? If I had to pick just one it would be Kit Harrington from Game of Thrones. I love the guy. Tom Hardy is a VERY close second. Something about rough and ready men I think *starts daydreaming*...

I like getting flowers but I do prefer a plant. Something I can keep (or try to keep) for a bit longer. Orchids and succulents are my favourites.

I have 3 little darlings - all boys. They're aged 8, 7 and 2.5. I love them all dearly but I absolutely don't want anymore. My sanity couldn't take it.

A bit of an odd one but we had Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses as our first dance. We are huge Guns and Roses fans and my husband plays guitar so we had a friend play Guitar Hero (whilst dressed as Slash - we had no idea he was going to do that!) on a big screen as we danced. It was memorable and made everyone laugh. Our friend was such a good sport.

Nope. It will just be a normal day for us. I shall be zooming the kids about to school and after school clubs and my husband will get in from work, wait for his dinner and then fall asleep on the sofa about 9pm. Who said romance was dead?

Oh good lord no. I haven't ever had one but the mere thought of sticking one of those things in my mouth makes me retch. I am not a huge shellfish fan really apart from prawns and lobster.

Another tough one. I would say Norway. I would love to do a road trip over there, ending in Tromso which is a wonderful place to see the Northern Lights. Me and my husband love the outdoors and cold places.

Oh crikey. Probably a handmade card from my children saying they love me. Always one to melt the heart that isn't it.

Friendship. I love that after a crappy day with the kids, I am lucky enough to have a husband come home to us, give me a hug and unload the burdens of the day onto. I never take it for granted that I have a loving husband and a happy (mostly) little family. We have our ups and downs as all families do, but ultimately we all love each other and that's what life's all about.

You can catch up with Gemma over at her lovely blog and all of her social media channels!
