Mommy Bloggers

At every meal where a group of people are we always get asked why we are vegetarians.  I used to be a meat eater like most people.  I enjoyed a good ribeye, nice and juicy. I loved drenching my bread in the juices.  Loved a burger, you know the kind that required a handful of napkins cause the flavors were coming out with every bite.  I loved meat.  I made fun of my friends that were vegetarians. 

This morning, similar to many Sunday mornings, I had a strong desire to stay hidden under my covers until noon.  Not that this would EVERY actually happen, but a girl can dream, right?  At 7am, I begrudgingly threw off the covers and headed into the kitchen for a cup of coffee.

Well, as a first time Mommy Blogger on Mix 94.1 I'll do my diligence and introduce myself a little bit and what I'm doing here! This first entry is coming to you from a young, first time mom of a 10-month-old, amazing, beautiful baby girl, I am a foodie, cook, baker, blogger and nomad. I moved to the Amarillo area from Nashville in November with my husband and since then, trying to find my nook. W

As I snuggled up with my very sweet, very cuddly 4-year old son one evening, I wondered how children can have so many personalities throughout the day? He patted my hand and called me sweetie-pie, which as relationships between little boys and their moms often go, is just the way its supposed to be.

We are just shy of two months into the New Year and chances are that our best planned intentions to eat and live healthier are beginning to feel like impossible dreams. Luckily, February, the month of Love and Heart Awareness has come just in time to inspire us all over again! This is our chance to focus on our hearts, emotionally and physically, and repair any ‘cracks’ that have occurred due to p

Some days I wonder why they all still call me Mom.  Why haven’t they all run away yet?  Some days I think I have lost my mind, and those are the good days.  The bad days I know I have lost my mind.   I have six kids, a husband in a band, a family that calling dysfunctional is an understatement.  My life is really crazy, but yet people tell me I am a good mom.  Are you kidding me??

Multiple roles are sometimes difficult to juggle, but it is something that most moms today are very familiar with.  Mom, wife, girlfriend, daughter, sister, co-worker, employee, boss, student, friend, so much to do, so many people to please, and so little time!

You know how in the haste of of the hustle and bustle of life, you sometimes look for opportunities to just kind of skate by on a task? Well that one came back to bite me this week.

I am a part of a dinner club.  The kind where we barely come up with a theme and no one dresses up for the night.  The kind where the moms and non moms come together and relax and try their hardest to laugh at the lives we lead.  Which we have found out isn’t too hard to achieve.

For many of us, there is rarely a dull moment in motherhood. The currently popular “zombie craze” only adds to the madness for me. Like many children with autism, my son gets “stuck” on things that he likes.

My husband has been off work all week.  This is a rare treat, you see, because even though the man has plenty of vacation time to burn, he either needs a major holiday or the typhoid fever to convince him to take some time off. Fortunately, circumstances beyond his control required a week off.

Now that the year has been going for over a month, I wonder where the state of resolutions are now for the majority of people.  I usually don’t make them.  I guess I am too lazy, but I also don’t see the New Year as much different as the last year.  Again, I am lazy on this issue, but this year, or last year, I decided to do it.  I was going to make a resolution.
