About Me

PA, United States
For now, I work as a stay-at-home mom of three beautiful children (a boy who is 2, a girl who is 4, and a step-daughter who is 18 and currently attending American University, Go Alex!!) while trying desperately to finish my dissertation in sociology. My husband and I have been together for 10 wonderful years and he works as a software architect. While he helped me design this blog, he cannot be liable for its content. I decided to start blogging because: 1) Many of my mommy friends have blogs and I was tired feeling left out, 2) I needed a place to vent my frustrations about my graduate program and rave about my children and my husband, 3) a blog can keep our extended family (who live very far away) updated, and 4) as fellow mommy blogger once told me (thanks Patty), a blog is a historical record that can later be shared with your children.

Happy Halloween

Tonight we enjoyed walking through the neighborhood with our little witch and our little football player. Unfortunately, my little football star wouldn't stand still long enough for us to get a good picture of him and he wouldn't wear his football helmet! Ugh!


My little witch.
















She's a little tired of me taking pictures of her. Can't you tell.
















This was the only shot of Armani that we were able to get. And in order for us to get this shot we had to turn on the TV! Of course he had to be a Giants football player.

Oh ya, please disregard the lazy dog in the background. That's Linkin, our chocolate lab, who thinks he is human and gets away with sitting on our couch like this.
















This is Maya's rendition of a scary witch.


The kids had a great time trick or treating tonight. Poor Armani only made it to four houses and then wanted mommy to pick him up. So I held him for about 2 minutes and he fell asleep in my arms. For him, trick or treating ended at 6:30pm. Maya continued and kept informing me "just one more house mommy" until it was "time to go home and eat".
