Thank you to everyone who has commented on my Ask Ellie 6.0 post with questions. Feel free to keep submitting, but I’m also going to start answering. Here is the first batch. Feel free to weigh in with your own responses in the comments section.
Who does Little Buddy take after in looks? Littlest Buddy?
Little Buddy looks so much like Mr. Handsome (especially the hair) that I sometimes have to do a double take. Everyone says that Littlest Buddy looks like me.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Definitely Hawaii. Someone actually offered Mr. Handsome a temporary job there when we were first married, but when we learned that he would have to get a new license and take a new exam, we decided it wouldn’t be worth it.
Does Mr. Handsome watch sports? Do you?
Mr. Handsome enjoys watching sports, especially basketball and football, but he chooses not to make it a weekly part of his life. He would usually rather be actively doing something, and he also knows that I don’t love watching sports. That being said, he will watch playoffs or other important games. We also don’t have TV service, so we either use our antenna or pay for temporary service.
Growing up, what were your favorite toys? Were you more of a girly girl or a tomboy?
I wasn’t a girly girl, but I also was not a tomboy. I know this might sound cliché, but I really was somewhere in the middle. My favorite toys were my dollhouse, which Little Buddy currently plays with, and my American Girl Doll. I also loved matchbox cars and spent hours making roads out of paper. My brother and I spent a lot of time outside, riding scooters and our petal go-kart (a Kettler Kettcar) and making tracks for our remote control monster trucks in the dirt.
Have you taken any more yoga classes with goats?
Not since the first time, but I would love to take another class sometime. If you’re scratching your head over this questions, check out my April 2018 post about goat yoga.
Was your family involved in IBLP?
My family was not involved in IBLP, nor was Mr. Handsome’s family. We are not involved as adults, nor do we have plans to be.
Follow-up on IBLP
Do you have friends who are involved?
What do you think of IBLP especially now that the documentary came out?
We do not have any other friends who are part of IBLP. I don’t think it’s necessary, or my place, to give an opinion on it, but I think the fact that we are not a part of the organization (nor have we ever been) speaks for itself.
Hi Ellie, I’ve commented on your posts before (thanks for your lovely reaction the last time), but does that mean you’re no longer in contact with the Duggar and Bates families (not that I recall that you were fast friends with them) but it seems people are trying to ask that. I think it’s because you still write posts on you duggarfamilyblog and batesfamilyblog? I think it’s great that you avoid legalism, and I know that every single religion has its legalistic sects, not just baptist (which people think you are). Enjoy the summer!
If you’re not in IBLP, are you in some form of Fundamentalism or strict Southern Baptist church? You may say no to IBLP but what do you say yes to?
Our current church is non-denominational. We stay away from organizations/churches that are based on legalism.
This isn’t really related, but do you know what the big announcement was that Lawson and Tiffany were going to share?
What’s your favorite trip / favorite location that your have visited, in the US or abroad? What’s the destination (or destinations) in your bucket list? Has there been a place you have NOT enjoyed visiting? I’m always looking for travel inspiration 😊 Thank you!
Thank you Ellie. I’m not in IBLP either and I don’t think I’ve known any families who was part of it or maybe I wasn’t aware they were. Back in my younger days when I started homeschooling I was curious about IBLP was about but never pursued it.
Thanks for your answers Ellie. I enjoyed all of them.
Love your blog …But will you ever reveal the names of your husband
and your 2 sons ??
What adventures/holidays would you like to take your family on when your children are older (10+)?
