Here goes nothing!

I’m going to start this off by letting you all know a little bit about me. I was born and bred in New Jersey and I have the sarcasm and the sass to back that up, trust me. In the spirit of being upfront, I vaccinate, I don’t watch my language around my kids, sometimes they only eat goldfish for dinner, I yell at me kids, I drink way too much coffee, and sometimes mommy just needs a hug (probably more than sometimes).

This whole idea of a blog started because my husband in passing said “I think you’d be really good at it”. I have an overwhelming desire to help people and I’m very passionate about being a mom, so after psyching myself out multiple times here we are.

My goal for this is to share my life with others in the hopes that maybe one of my parenting struggles will help someone feel less alone, or one of my parenting solutions will help someone else too. I love answering peoples questions and I have a bunch of random knowledge floating around in my child-sized head that I just want to pass on to people. All I’ve ever wanted is to be a wife, a mom, and to help people. I already am tripping and tumbling my way through the first two, more often than not falling flat on my face before dragging myself back to my feet, so I figured I’d get started on my third one.

My family is incredibly chaotic and only gets more chaotic by the day, and that’s what I love about it and want to share with everyone. We are currently a family of 4. We have two little ones, a boy and a girl, and two dogs. We are a military family so we are always on the move and love finding new activities. I grew up as an athlete, but since becoming a mother that has simmered down a lot. We try and keep our kids a little active and I like to get them involved with any workouts I do. My number one favorite activity is to snuggle. With my kids, my husband, and my dogs.

In a nutshell, that’s me. Happy reading folks and I hope you enjoy your time learning about my crazy family. I’m happy to answer any specific questions you may have, and I’m over the moon to get started on this new journey with you guys following along and helping me grow.
