Where to start...

Well I will start off by saying I am slightly disappointed that they dont have comic sans as an option for font...thats my favorite. Oh well! First off I will say if you are looking for a blog with great tips on how to cook all organic meals, hair and make up tips, how to fit yoga into your busy schedule then you have come to the wrong blog!
I think i am pretty normal really. I am a stay at home mom of 3. Jimmy is 6 and in first grade, Abby is 5 and will be starting kindergarten in the fall and my youngest Lacey is 15 months. They keep me busy and entertained!
Let me start with some short background info. I am 27 (and hating the fact that in 3 years I will be 30) and I living in Pawleys Island, SC (about 20 mins south of myrtle beach). My oldest 2 kids are from a previous marriage. I was 20 when I had my son and at the time I was in love, so we got married and moved to NC. By the time I was 5 months pregnant with my daughter he decided he was no longer in love and I moved back to VA. Well with no financial help and working full time and paying for day care, this became difficult by the time Abby was born. SO I moved to SC with my mom to save money. And here I am!
Life had its many ups and downs. I was a heart broken single mother that didnt know how to deal with life and I was a MESS! But after many changes I am who I am today. And I really do love life today. Well life is normal to me. Many look at my life abnormal. I am not engadged to my best friend and the love of my life, who is the father of Lacey. And he is 23 years older than I am...yes, you read that right...23 years! I am sure people say what they say. But I have never been with a man that is more understanding, patient, kind, and has NEVER once put me down to make himself feel better about himself. He has never said one word out of anger towards me. He works hard so I can stay home with the kids, because he knows thats what I want and thats what makes me happy. And he dosent bitch if I decided to take a lazy day and something wasnt done. Which is much different than I have ever experienced.
My reason for starting this blog is because there are so many "mom" blogs out there. But I feel they lack honesty.  They write about what organic food they made, what farmers market is the best, what 80 dollar jeans make thier ass look the best, what wine tasting they are excited for *side note I dont drink*, just different little things like that. Which is nice...but I rarely see the days the blog about how thier kids woke up and plotted against them to see how crazy they could drive mommy that day! Or how many times you have picked up the same toy in the same exact spot in the room, or how your idea of a makeover is when your 5 year old paints your nails and brushes your hair (which by the way is way better than an 80 dollar haircut!!). And no...I dont think my kids plot  against me in the morning to see how crazy they can drive me...i am not that crazy!! LOL! But when I have time thats what this blog will be about.
The latest argument today. Was getting Abby to eat meat. I am not sure how she was born into this family...she isnt a meat eater...its very weird...but she will shovel down the carbs...which I realize isnt good. So to get another biscuit during dinner she had to eat 2 pieces of meat. You would have though I asked her to eat the whole frickin cow!! But at least this time her brother went along with the cheers and celebration after she ate it. Because, no lie, she is so stubborn...she will cry for an hour over one piece of bread before she eats the meat! And before people get all weird, I am not forcing her to eat meat...if she would eat veggies I would be ok, but she dosent. all she wants is carbs...and thats not cool.
Anyway...stay tuned for more good stuff in the days to come...the good, the bad and the ugly...but there are plenty of good stuff in my family and I love it!!
