Warning! Warning! Warning!

This blog is about to change! As much as I love keeping everyone up to date on my lovely family, I'm pretty sure if you're my facebook friend you know what's up. I am going to use this as my way to vent, share, discuss, etc... There is so much you learn every day as a wife & mother, some good & some bad, and I want to share my experiences with you. You lucky ducks!!!

The daily life as a stay at home Mom to others seems easy, routine, and all about eating bon bons and watching soap operas. Let me put those assumptions to rest. Don't knock it until you try it! Even my husband thought I had the easy life until he stepped in my shoes a couple times back in 2006 (when we only had 2 kids). He had both kids for a weekend to himself on two seperate occasions. Let's just say he doesn't question me nor does he want my job after that. Let me also note this is in no way to diss or judge the mothers that work outside the home. I have oodles and oodles of respect for all good MOMS!!!

Now that we have that clear, let me introduce you to me. My name is Abby. I am a 29year old wife and mother of three beautiful, smart, & energetic children. I have been a stay at home Mom since I had my first child back in 2001. I also have attending college while being a Mom. I am hoping to eventually finish my nursing degree but right now I'm focusing on my family. I'm a christian,conservative woman and believe in a traditional family and way of life. My husband is a hard working man. He's worked hard his whole life, working his way up the ladder, and doing whatever necessary to provide for our family. He is one of the most caring men I've ever met. To know him is to love him! My oldest son, Riley, is 9. He is Mr. Popular, an athlete, and a very smart cookie!!! He has a huge heart. Stella, my princess, is 6. She is all girl and in charge. She has so much imagination, loves to dance & sing, and she's not afraid to tell you what is on her mind. Drake is turning 2 next month. He is all boy. He loves to get dirty and he is so in tune with everything around him. He loves the outdoors and if he doesn't have a ball in his hand, he must be sick.

Being a mother of 3 means there is never a dull moment. I think sometimes us women choose to judge each other instead of helping each other. Letting another mother know you've been through what they are dealing with at that moment can sometimes be all she needs to help her through. Instead of staring down the Mom with the screaming toddler in the restaraunt, super market, or the airplane...How about a kind word of encouragement. You have no idea what that person's day has been like or what they are going through. So these are my confessions...
