More Than Mommy

More than Mommy is the exploration of the many sides of being a woman and mother. In my case, this includes family, business, home, humor, hobbies, and occasionally politics. If you're looking for a reminder that you still have a name of your own, you've found the right place! Please post a comment, make yourself comfortable, and maybe learn something new. Parenting is fun, but quite a bumpy ride!

Home!

I’m home and had a great time at convention. I’ll be posting more about that, but not tonight. =} Little Guy and Big Guy survived just fine without me and I didn’t cry the WHOLE time I was gone. Seriously, I just got misty-eyed a few times, and had a rough first night. Thanks for all of the support!
