Here I Am.

 

I have always wanted to blog, but a few things have been holding me back. Time. Fear of vulnerability. Lack of any technical savvy. But at the end of each day I lay in bed with a smile on my face, reflecting on this crazy fun chaotic life I live. I want to write about my experiences as a mother with young children, as a wife, as a Christian, as a homemaker, and a licensed speech and language pathologist.  I want to write candidly about my strengths, weaknesses, trials and triumphs. I consider myself a good person and a great mother, but I make mistakes often and learn from them. And in the end, if I end up being the only person who benefits from this blog, then it is worth it. :) I love to read, and even more to write. I aspire to be an author one day, and this is where my journey begins.

As I write, I am going to pretend like I have "readers." Maybe you will come! Maybe I will only have one. (Hi Mom!!) I am excited to meet women, readers and bloggers, who share similar interests and passions.

So here is my first post. A little about the person I call Me. Loves...  Any time I can get with my husband. My three babies. Chocolate. Horses. Fresh garden produce. Birthdays. Thai food. Children's books. Seafood. Reading.  The Notebook. Alone time. Cooking. Cheesecake Factory. Creating jewelry. Chocolate. The beach. Apothecary. Anything Italian. The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Dancing in my kitchen with my little princess. The Help. Red candies. Teaching. Cuddling in bed with babies of all ages. Carmel Frappuccinos. Mint brownies. Traveling. Photography. Chocolate. The Aquarium. Gerber Daisies. Decorating. Overall theme, I love food.  My dislikes are few, but strong. Red meat. Mean people. Fast food. Chemicals, especially in my food. Hot dogs. Elevators. Spiders. The feel of carpet on my hands. Littering. Grumpy people at customer service desks.

That's me in a nutshell! Signing off, I must go retrieve my little Jada who has gotten herself stuck in the baby's bouncer. :)
