In a Nutshell

     I know that if I had wanted this blog to be fun and interesting and chalk full of Momming stuff that I should have started it 13 years ago when I first became a mom.  Then I could have told the world (within the scope of this blog) what it was really like.  I know that my oldest is 13, no longer a child but now an official teenager and my youngest is 5, no longer a baby or toddler but now a full fledged little minion.  But believe me when I say that I still have a lot of adventures with my children, now though the challenge is more of how to get them to listen to me before I go mad and "what the crap do I make for dinner" or one of their various snacks during the day.  They eat a lot!

Thankfully for them I am a good cook and I like to try out good things for them to eat.  I also like to sew and am good at it.  While my husband does seem to get a little annoyed with me going to Joann Fabrics to get sewing stuff a lot, my family has definitely seen the benefits from me sewing, it would just be nice to stick with a project until finished, but hwy what can I say I have attention issues.  

I am hoping to post something fun or interesting or not hair pullingly tiresome at least once a week but we will just see how that all goes!  I suppose that I will start by posting on Monday, I am making bagels for the kids right now so I can always post a picture of them!  This blog is just a way for me to express some of the things I do during the week, and to display some of the things I make that I am proud of.  Also I can mention the things that I deal with in cooking and other things and aspects of my life as a mommy and wife that I hope my be somewhat helpful to others!  Here are my 5 little minions!

The top picture is the most accurate of them all!

To start I married a wonderful man!  I love him very much!

We are going on 11 years married this year and I hope that we have many, many, many, many more years both together and as a family!

There is more to be said but I can't really put it all into any sort of order, so we will just see what comes out and when, I think of thing (some very odd) at very random times, I will try to keep that rained in a little, anyway see ya soon!
