11 Things About ps.heart:
1. We're a trio of ladies - Clara, Jordyn, Kelsey.
2. Kelsey & Jordyn are clearly much better at Tasty Tuesday posts than Clara is.
3. Kelsey & Jordyn are sisters and as much as Clara wishes she was family....she's not :( although she pretends that she is sometimes.
4. Kelsey & Jordyn live on an apple farm. Awesome, right?
5 .Clara lives in the cold cold north called Edmonton with her handsome prince, Caleb.
6. The idea of ps.heart was started by Clara, who then convinced Kelsey to join. Together, they then forced Jordyn to join :) by democratic vote, of course!
7. We all share a mutual crush on Sherlock Holmes…/Benedict Cumberbatch. They’re one in the same, really. We could listen to his voice for hours.
8. We are all a little bit obsessed with lace!
9. If Kelsey were an animal, she’d be a cat. Clara would be a dog. Jordyn would be a dinosaur.
10. Our dream is to make ps.heart into a whole business line with a cute little shop for all your wedding/home/style type items, a bake shop/café, and a photography/videography biz. Who knows if this will ever happen, considering we all live in different cities right now, but hey, girls can dream, right?
11. We really, really, really love our blog and all our lovely readers! And we all get a little ridiculously giddy when we get new followers :)
1. Are you named after anyone?
Yes! My mama loves the classic children's story Heidi by Swiss author Johanna Spyri and her favourite character was Clara, who is Heidi's best friend :) My mama also loves the works of Clara Schumann, one of the few famous female composers during the Romantic era. Coincidentally, I have a love of great literature and have taken music lessons since I was 4! They're pretty great namesakes.

2. If you were another person, would you be friends with yourself? Why or why not?

5. Why did you start blogging?
Clara made me do it! haha...just kidding. I had my own food blog before we started up p.s.heart, and just loved being able to share recipes and life with friends, family and the world. Blogging is a huge motivation to keep trying new things, to be accountable to finish projects, and it has become a huge source of inspiration.

7. Describe one of your most memorable life experiences.
One of best experiences of my life so far was living in a Christian student house (complete with about 22 students) during my 2nd and 3rd years of university. This was a place of such incredible place of community, fun, and silliness. Many of my closest friends were made while living here (including Clara!), and I am so blessed to have experienced it.

8. What's the best thing anyone has ever said to you?
This is a hard one to choose...and I don't have an exact quote, but the best thing has been the overwhelming encouragement and confidence that continually comes from family and friends, especially in times when I most need it.

11. When do you feel your happiest?
This is hard to choose too! But I'm happiest when surrounded by family and friends, at the beach, when I'm baking, or when reading a good book!

1. Are you named after anyone?
My father chose the name Jordyn, not after anyone/thing specific. However my middle name is Marae,(pronounced Mah-ray) partially after my dad, Murray, and my grandma, Mary.
2. If you were another person, would you be friends with yourself? Why or why not?
I hope I would be, though I can’t say for sure. I think it depends on what my personality as that other person was like. As a loud and excitable person, I often tend to gravitate towards quieter people. If I met myself I feel like we would compete for attention.

3. Name one thing you worry about running out of.
“Time and time and time again, always running out on me.” -Professor Yana (Doctor Who) I think everybody worries about running out of time, during the day, in life etc. But on a more practical note I always worry about running out of flour and sugar. That’s the pits.

5. Why did you start blogging?
One day I was at school, and I got a Facebook message from Clara that said:
“Lets do this blog, yes? yes. okay. now lets move on to names, yes? yes. suggestions?”
I was so confused. I didn’t know anything about a blog, so my response was “we are making a blog??”
To which Clara responded: “yes, we are. and you have no choice but to join, mmk?
So that’s how it happened. I got home and Kelsey explained that her and Clara had decided to start a blog, and it was something they wanted me to be a part of.

6. What is your favorite food or type of food
I love all types of vegetables, especially dipped in hummus! That is probably my favourite snack. I also have a crazy addiction to Nutella! I make an effort not to buy it or keep it in the house unless I am going to use it right away. I will seriously eat it right out of the jar with a spoon.
