Introduction

Life is constantly changing and time goes by way to fast. I have heard this well.....all my life. As I grow older I am beginning to understand the truth behind both of these statements.

I am a new mom. I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl just a few short weeks ago. Since I have become a mother I understand that time truly does pass by very quickly. Time is going by so quickly, I want to slow down and treasure all of the moments. Right now I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mom, so I am determined to take advantage of all the special time I have with my daughter.

I am a wife. I have a husband who I love very much. He works very hard so that I can stay home with our daughter while she is young. He is extremely busy with work, and I am busy with our daughter. Somehow we still try to make time for one another. Whether it is shooting bows together or just sitting down to dinner and an episode of House, we are trying to make the most of limited time.

I am (hopefully) a graduate student. I am currently waiting to hear back from my applications to graduate school. I took a year off after receiving my undergraduate degree in English and am excited about getting back into the academic realm.

In addition to being a mom, wife and student I am also many other things: a Christian, a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law, and a friend.

I want to share some of the things that work for me as a mom and some of the things my daughter enjoys. I will be moving into our "forever" home soon, and I want to share the ups and downs of moving, decorating, and organizing a home. Additionally, I hope to share some of my experiments in the kitchen. I enjoy cooking and trying new things. Like most people my family is on a budget, so I try to make money go as far as possible.
