TMI TAG - Inspirational Monday #2

Hi My Land Browsers...

Ready for another Inspirational Monday??? I've been trying a lot to stick to my schedule & new sections and I'm trying to post as often as possible, so be good to me...please ;) 
I've really been trying to make this blog look better and be more fun and interesting. And because it would be nothing without you, please do leave suggestions and comments so I can really focus it, on what interests you best.

So, lately there's really been a trend on YouTube and Blogs, the TMI (Too Much Information) TAG and "Maryanne's Land" couldn't be any different. So if you like these kind of TAGs prepare yourself for another long one and if you don't really care all that much about my information, just look at the questions and do the TAG yourself ;p

Hope you like it ;)
