So what do you need to know about Julie?

1. Why did you start blogging? I started blogging because I needed an outlet for my thoughts. In the beginning it was just about having a place to share what I was doing with my life and any thoughts I had about life.

2. What keeps you blogging? There a few things that keep me blogging…I absolutely love connecting with readers and hearing about any new adventures they try, places they visit and people they meet. I also really treasure the relationships I’ve developed with other bloggers and the various people I’ve met through blogging.

3. What is your favorite post? My current favorite post is one I just recently shared about the next chapter of my life. This summer I began the adoption process and it is scary and exciting all at the same time! http://www.girlonthemoveblog.com/2014/09/04/living-big-my-next-chapter/

4. What blogs inspire you? Oh my goodness, there are too many to list them all! I actually have a series on my blog called Be Inspired and each week I share about someone who inspires me…so the recent bloggers I’ve featured are Courtney (from http://pizzazzerie.com/) and Amanda (from http://www.runtothefinish.com/)

5. What is your Holy Grail? There are so many different ways I could answer this question! I’ve written about this a little bit on my blog by my ultimate dream in life is to get married and have a family. That journey is definitely looking different than I thought it would be as I mentioned in the question about my favorite post, I started the adoption process this summer and can’t wait to be a mommy!

6. If there is one thing that you could do what would it be? I would love to host a cupcake tv show! Think Drivers, Dine-In and Dives style…but for cupcakes! I’ve already been to close to 75 cupcake shops around the county and have so many more I’d love to try! If you live near a shop or have a favorite, I’d love to hear about it! And you can check out some Cupcake FAQ’s here… http://www.girlonthemoveblog.com/2014/08/19/cupcake-faq/

7. Where would your dream vacation be? My dream vacation would be three months exploring Europe…not necessarily on a backpack adventure but there is so much in Europe I would love to see! But one of the things I blog about is travel, so really any time I have the opportunity to go somewhere new is a dream vacation!

8. What is your biggest accomplishment? This is a toss up between two things. I grew up in Southern California and when I was 22 I packed up my life and moved to Philadelphia where I didn’t know a single person. So living in Philadelphia for seven years is a huge accomplishment because I went from not knowing anyone and not having to job to building a life there. I learned so much about myself in the process and am incredibly grateful for the experience. The second accomplishment is that I was able to retire from teaching before I turned 30. Five years ago I became a Thirty-One consultant (www.mythirtyone.com/jdenouden) and after three years of working really hard to grow my business I was able to retire from teaching and now Thirty-One is my full-time job…but it comes with part time hours!
