“My favorite kind of ice cream is free ice cream.” 
We at Seattle Mom Blogs are delighted to introduce Isabel, from Hola Isabel!, New to Us, and the newly launched We Heart TV.

SMB: Give us the elevator speech about your blogs.
Isabel: I’m not sure what the “elevator speech” means. I ride a lot of elevators, but have never given a speech on one. I guess this is like the 10 second explanation of my blog, right? I am a wife and mother who works full time while living in the city and traveling when I get a chance. And um, I blog about that.

SMB: When did you start blogging?
Isabel: August 8th, 2005 - right after I found out I was pregnant with my baby.

SMB: Why did you start blogging?
Isabel: I’m never sure what to say when asked why I started blogging. I wanted to talk about my pregnancy (since it was too early to tell people in real life), I wanted to talk about my miscarriages (since we didn’t tell people in real life) and to bitch about my family and friends (but that didn’t last long). Mostly I wanted a piece of the blogging pie.

SMB: So, let’s get to the important questions. What’s your favorite Ice Cream?
Isabel: My favorite kind of ice cream is free ice cream.

SMB: If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?
Isabel: What super power would I want? Believe it or not, I’ve thought a great deal about this. I’m not sure if this is considered a “super power”, but I’d love to not require any sleep. While I do love to sleep, I would love having free time during the night even more.

SMB: What is something you do well?
Isabel: Something I do well? I make cute babies. I’m thinking of going into business for it. Besides that, I can give myself good manicures.

SMB: What is one thing you’ve always wanted to do?
Isabel: I always wanted to go to Paris. But since I’ve done that…I need to think of a new one.

SMB: What is the first blog you started reading?
Isabel: amalah…followed closely by misszoot.

SMB: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Isabel: In 10 years I imagine that the house we’re building will be done and we’ll be out of this one bedroom apartment. I’d like for my husband and I to be working less and traveling more. And maybe have a few more kids.

SMB: Tell us something random about you.
Isabel: I just bought my first girdle. I love it and am kicking myself for not buying one 10 years ago.

Be sure to check out Isabel’s favorite posts:
1) The post in which I gush about getting to meet Rhett Miller, who I love, love love
2) A post I wrote after attending my first catholic wedding
3) The first of a three part series about my older brother coming out of the closet
