The Chatter

Who am I?  How much time do you have, LOL!  I am thirty years old and have two kids, a boy and a girl.  We have not yet gotten married, however, plan to do it in Disney after the New Year, life just keeps getting in the way.  I will keep you posted on the details.  We are currently rebuilding our house.  We had a rancher and turned it into a three story colonial, we are the contractor and got a bit out of hand!  In the meantime we are living with my mother and her husband, oh joy! 

I have sisters, no brothers, so having a boy is an adventure!  We have two dogs, one that we rescued from the pound and it turns out he has the mange, five years later, he still smells and hardly has hair, just my luck.  We are the people that if something crazy is going to happen, it will happen to us!  It started in fourth grade, my parents went away on vacation and the nanny died in the middle of the night, it has been downhill from that point forward.  I don’t say that in a bad way, we have learned to laugh at what you are dealt in life.  To roll with the punches.   What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger, ok so that is what I keep telling myself.

Anyway, I have lots of great ideas, stories to tell and traditions that we have started with families and friends that grow each year.   My friends tell me I am the life of the party, probally because it is always at my house and that I am a wealth of useless knowledge.  Did you know that a little meat tenderizer and water made into a paste, rubbed on a mosquito bite will bring down the swelling and calm the itch? 

I hope you enjoy reading.  I hope you learn some great ideas.  I hope that you give feedback and let me know what you think!
