Hey ya’ll (southern girl and all ya know), I am so glad to “meet” you. One Moms World is so happy to get to mingle with each and every one of you. What better way to bring in the first day of Spring!

Let’s me tell you a little about myself. I am a work at home mom (since early 2003) of two beautiful girls. They are playing it up at the park now so let’s take a sneek peak at them:

This has been one more long winter, so we are enjoying this warm weather that has been brought our way by the good ole Mr. Sunshine.

I have been blogging since August 2005 and just have loved it from the first minute I started blogging. It helps connecting with other parents and sharing the journey of the curvy road of parenthood. They say life comes at you fast…. I believe that 100%. There is never a dull moment and I could not imagine life any other way. I enjoy being home with them and seeing them grow.

Also, I am a weight watchers fanatic. As of yesterday, I am down 34.6 pounds. I enjoy sharing videos of easy weight watcher meals here, along with easy weight watcher desserts. I believe in sharing recipes that will help you lose weight, but that also has a really good tasting and are EASY to make. (Moms have limited time ya know!) Hey, if I can get my husband (the pickest eater of all) to enjoy these recipes, you know they have to be good. So keep checking back with new recipes each week. Right now, I would like you to pick up a bowl of our Weight Watchers banana pudding. It is so delicious and you can’t even tell it is missing the fat.

Recipe:

  • 1 Big Box of Vanilla Pudding Mix
    (Follow the recipe on the box for the 5 minute pudding)
  • Add in sliced bananas to the mix
  • A Box of Reduced Fat Vanilla Wafers
    (Layer your 13 x 9 dish on the bottom with Vanilla Wafers)
  • Pour the prepared pudding mix on top of the wafers
  • Sit the dish in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let it set
  • Once set, layer the top with one regular container of Fat Free Cool Whip.

You are all set to enjoy a wonderful guilt free dessert.

I Am Going Back To School

I was tagged the other day by Sheryl over at Peanut Butter and Jelly Boats to share 6 random things about my life right now. Here we go 🙂

1) I’m going back to college to finally finish my degree. It’s always been my Grandmother’s wish to see me finish college and I want to make this happen for me and her. I’m so excited but a little bit scared too. I go tomorrow to finalize everything for Fall semester!

2) My hair is my youngest daughter’s lovey that she goes to sleep with!

3) I’m doing the TweightLoss Challenge headed up by Audrey over at Mom Generations. I’m off to a great start this week. YAY!

4) I love designing stuff in photoshop hence my Internet Marketing Chic website.

5) My little girl starts kindergarden in a little over a week and I am not dealing with it good. Why do they have to grow up?

6) I’m addicted to pretzels and homemade ranch dip I make with fat free sour cream of course ;).

Ok… what do you think? Am I interesting enough LOL!

I’m going to tag some other moms as well as I love learning about the mom bloggers.

What Was I Doing 10 Years Ago?

I was living my summer up as I was fixing to embark on my last year of highschool. So it was filled with working as Office Assistant at Food Lion grocery store and hanging out at the lake on my boyfriend’s jet ski!

5 Things On My To-Do List Today:

Prepare breakfast for the girls and I
Get Madisyn’s soccer things ready for her first day of Soccer Camp
Run to the grocery store
Help the girl’s do their homemade Father’s Day Cards
Take Madisyn to soccer camp

Snacks I Enjoy:

Fresh Cherries on a Stem
Cantaloupe
Broccoli and Cauiflower with Homemade Ranch Dip

Things I Would Do If I Were A Billionaire:

Make sure my family was taken care of and didn’t worry about money anymore. Start a private montessori school that had a major focus on co-op and revolved around hands on learning.

Places I Have Lived:

Blue Ridge Mountains, NC
Tampa, Florida

I tag the following, if they want to play along…

Casual Friday Everyday
Mom of 3 Girls
A Island Life

This is the life :). Sitting here blogging and rocking my daughter to sleep. She is sleeping peacefully in my arms and I just love looking down at her and seeing her beautiful face.

Jen Is Joining the Ultimate Blog Party

Ultimate Blog Party 2008

Hey There Mamas…. Thanks for coming by!! I wanted to say just a bit about myself. I am a proud mom of my two girls ages 5 and 3 and also a proud step-mommy to a 15 year old. Every since my first child was born, I have had the most wonderful opportunity of staying at home with her and performing my work at home job as well to help make the budget go just a bit smoother in the household ;).

I hope you all will stop in and leave me a comment as I would LOVE to get to know you all better and form mommy blogging relationships.

Cheers to everyone!!!

7 Weird Things About Muah

The lovely and very talented Val tagged me for this fun meme. So lets see if I can figure out 7 weird things about me.

1) Well not sure if this is really weird… but I had my two beautiful girls before actually tyeing the knot ;).

2) I do not eat butter on my baked potato… I either like Steak A1 Sauce or Ketchup.

3) I had never heard of calamari until Kelly Pickler got made fun of on American Idol for how she pronounced it. So like the next week, my husband took me out and had me try it. Needless to say I DID NOT know I was eating squid until after I took the first bites.

4) I have a great relationship with my step-daughter and love her to pieces and so glad she is a part of my life.

5) I'm such a worry wart about my girls that something is going to happen to them, that I have only left them with my mom and dad 1 whole time during their life for about a hour and half while Scott and I went out to eat.

6) After reading number 5, Hubbs and I have only been out on 1 date without the girls since back in 2002 when our first daughter was born. We make it family dates and I wouldn't have it any other way.

7) I love eating fresh sliced turkey, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots on wheat breat with ranch dressing. YUMMY GOOD!

Ok there you have it… weird or not? Let me know hehe.
