I'm a stay at home mom with a career during naptime. I met my husband on the school bus back in 2000. It happened to be the only year that the bus went to two different schools -- the all girls' school I attended, and the all boys' school where he went. After highschool we both lived in Florida for six years, I lived down the street from his family and we never crossed paths. We both moved back to Virginia within a week of each other and our moms put us back in touch.
My husband and I have two beautiful sons, our oldest is 16 months old and our youngest was born 3 weeks ago. We are a Catholic family, and look forward to expanding our family further. When I'm not working or wrangling children I love to cook and bake -- this is truly my most favourite labour of love. Hopefully I can share some of that with this blog. I keep a recipe journal and make notes in cookbooks, and theoretically I'll be able to record my kitchen undertakings if for nothing else for posterity's sake.
I used to be a fairly good writer but I seem to be out practice, so hopefully I'll be able to reignite my writing with this blog as well. I love taking pictures of everything and documenting all milestones (major or othewise) but I'm no professional, I just have a really good camera thanks to my brother. I'm sure my family's other interests will end up coming to light at some point while I'm on here.
Well... they say the hardest part of starting something is actually starting, and after writing and re-writing this post a few times I think that's true. I'll probably stick to recipes for a while until my writing comes back to me.
For now, suffice it to say that family means the world to me and some of the best ways I can show my love and dedication to my family are through food, the little things in life, and by giving them my time and attention. If that means that cleaning my oven takes a back seat to pushing my son on a swing set, or that I forgo my ironing for a few hours while I watch the Bills game with hubs and my boys, I'm ok with that.
