Here we go!

I feel like there was a lot of pressure on this first post, and I was struggling with what I wanted to say. I wanted to be funny, and likable and intriguing. Basically, I wanted to make a good first impression, and introduce myself, without repeating what was in the 'About Me' section. I also wanted you to want to read the blog! I thought long and hard and decided that instead of trying to tell you all kinds of things about myself and sounding scripted, that I would share some of my favorite quotes and little tidbits about myself.





Some of my most favorite quotes:



The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. -Unknown



One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. -Lucille Ball



It's a helluva start being able to recognize what makes you happy. -Lucille Ball



A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all things that stand in it's path. -Unknown



Step with care and tact, and remember that life is a great balancing act. -Dr Seuss



In case you haven't been able to tell, I am head over heels for my sweet girls, and being a mother is the greatest opportunity I've ever been given. I am also a huge Lucille Ball fan and if I could go back in time I would make sure I visit the 50's. I like crafting, I like saving money and finding deals, and I like cooking and baking .



I will have more posts to come soon (I'm already planning them, they seem much less intimidating than this first post) I'm excited to share my blog with you and hope you enjoy!
