Intro

Yep, I'm going to do it. I'm starting a blog. Everyone else is doing it, so can I. Why not, right? What in the world do I have to offer, you might ask (and I know some of you are asking that very question right now)? I don't know. I am hoping that this blog will be a way for me to communicate with friends and family and be an outlet for me to practice my love for writing. Those who know me well are snickering at their computer screens right about now. Yes, I hear you. You are mentally taking bets on how long this will last before I lose interest or more realistically, I realize I don't have time for it. We shall see.

Who am I? I am 36, married, working full-time and raising two beautiful girls (hence the sugar and spice). Kiera is 6 and in the first grade. Caitlin is 2 and very much a handful. Which is sugar and which is spice? They are each a bit of both. Kiera is strong-willed and stubborn. Caitlin is a mischevous little imp. She is fully embracing "I'M TWO!" with gusto. But both can be kind and sweet and have little hearts of gold. I have no experience raising boys, but I can tell you raising girls is full of challenges, headaches, heartaches.... love, pride and oh so many rewards.

So come with me through my adventures of life and love and parenting and work and weaving it all together. I will try not to use this blog as a soapbox to vent (I hear the snickering again, friends... you know me well).
