About Me



I am a 31 year old wife, mommy, and registered nurse living in the not so great state of Michigan.

I have been married for 8 years to my husband, Shawn, who is a computer nerd.  Our daughter's Alivia and Lainey, are 5 and 7 years old.  They attend Catholic school which, aside from the uniforms, they love!  When they aren't in school we are busy with dance, Brownies, and children's choir at church.

Aside from playing chauffeur (lunch Mom and Brownie co-leader), I also work 2 days a week as a registered nurse at an outpatient surgical center.  I refer to this job as a "hobby" because it is nothing but fun, and gives me break from the mommy role.

My favorite hobbies are shopping and working out (especially spinning).  On my 29th birthday, I made it my goal to lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday and I was 2 lbs shy of my goal!  Last June I competed in my very first Duathlon (The Iron Goddess) and I took 1st place in my age group and 4th overall.  Who knows what this year will hold?

I started this blog intending it to be a "Mommy Blog," but at some point it took on a life of it's own.  You'll find me posting about everything from hickeys to margaritas.  There are usually lots of laughs, and you might even pee your pants a little bit!

Thanks for stopping by!
