Hello there...

I have decided to start a blog.  While I am definitely not a professional writer, I would like to think I have some good ideas and opinions even if they do come out in a jumbled mess of run-on sentences.
I think the biggest reason for this is so that my kids can look back one day and see where they came from.  Or, let's be honest they will probably never read this, for me to look back one day and see what senility, and sleep deprivation, has stolen from me.

I will start with a little about me.

I am 26 years old, for a few more months.  A mommy to two wonderful kiddos, Brody(3) and Caitlyn(8months).  I married my high school sweetheart, Greg, and we live a very great, while meager, life together.
I was born and raised in Kentucky, the best state in the union, I mean uh... Just kidding.  At the end of 2010 our lives were changed forever when we lost a baby and moved to the Oklahoma panhandle all in a week.  Caitlyn is our rainbow, but more on that later.  We moved from the panhandle back to civilization right before Christmas in 2011.  Moved in December 23, cut it a little close for me, but it worked.

I am for now a stay at home mom, but not by choice.  I love my kids to pieces, but I need some adult interaction.  I was working in the medical field and will be starting back to school in July pending an interview to be accepted TOMORROW.  I enjoy working in the medical field, but it has definitely made me crazy, but a good crazy.

I also love DIY crafts.  Any and all.  If I can't pin it I don't bother looking at it on the internet.  One of my favorites has been painting.  And I use to enjoy quilting, and am trying my best to find time for sewing these days.

I am a breast feeding nut.  Some would say lactivist, but I hate the word.  I do intend on finishing school with my BSN and continuing to get my IBLCE certification.  That means I want to be a lactation consultant.  I think one class is devoted to remembering the initials that will forever follow your name if you should be lucky enough to pass the test.  I unsuccessfully nursed my son to 4 1/2 months, with some supplementing.  And have managed to feed 2 babies this go around.  My 8 month old daughter, and a little girl, now 5 months, through donating my breast milk.  I know that that may sound gross to some, but I wish I knew about it when I was having problems with my big boy.  Even with all the "controversy" surrounding this personal choice, I am so proud to be a nursing mother.  I am so proud of me, the way my big boy is of himself when he uses the potty.

I will tell more of myself throughout the posts, or I may have forgotten plenty already.  I will start the next several posts by going back in time.  I want to share what I can about my past, which means I should have done this a long time ago.  I will also try to post about some current topics, maybe some I could go back and use someday when I have my very own office with mommies needing advice on supply issues and what not.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
