Behind the mom
So, who is the mom behind these 2 crazy boys?
I’m a wife and a mother first. I’m a student going back for my BSN – Bachelor of Science in Nursing while also working part-time. I’m a daughter to wonderful parents, a sister to some of the best sisters/brothers I could ask for and a family member to some very large families that have shown me how important we are to each other. I’m a trusting friend, a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. I’m slightly a geek (I’ll only admit to slightly!!!).
I started playing with making my own websites over 10 years ago and blogging came shortly after. It’s always been about sharing life with family and friends when distance came between us. It was never about being a “blogger” nor am I trying to be one. Writing thoughts out is a creative outlet. Books are filled with poetry and random musings following me from preteen angst through young love. This was just a natural progression as a mom to share! It’s also a way for me to talk about my journey being a mom + nursing student! I’m sure that will become more apparent as I enter my last 2 years of nursing school!
I love the outdoors, I’m a picture freak when it comes to my kids and I wish I could travel more. I’m a wine drinker, a dark beer drinker, a spicy food lover and I love to cook for friends and family. I’m a rain hater (I live in the wrong state for this I know!) and a snow lover (how I miss Colorado). I’m a Denver Donkeys, Kansas City Chiefs (yes, I get that they are rivals, don’t ask!), Colorado Avalanche, KU and CU fan.
I listen to about every kind of music out there but keep my station mostly on top hits or alternative. (my I-Pod looks like a hodgepodge of everything from classical, jazz, blues, techno/dance, r&b to punk). I enjoy reading when I find the time and although I’m not a huge fan of Sci-Fi, I’ll read just about everything else put in front of me. I enjoy reading gossip mags or gossip online celeb sites but won’t spend my own money on the magazines! (only subscribe to a hodge podge of magazines for the home or kiddo related!) I tend to tackle way to many projects at once and have a hard time getting them all completed because I can’t figure out which one to work on first! (this is the case with my website, my scrapbook for kiddos 1st year and more!) Lastly, i’m a rambling girl that could go on and on boring you to death!
