73 Questions with Jordyn

 The idea of this post came from one of my favorite (Alabama!) bloggers, Dorothy over at Prep in Your Step. She apparently got these questions from something Vogue does, but to be honest-I barely have time to read the nutrition label on food, much less many magazines right now. 😂
