i want to get paid to write books for kids of all ages.

i was born near hershey, pa which explains a lot (mostly my affinity for chocolate and cows) but raised in the great state of new jersey.

i was straightedge and all about punk rock in high school but i learned to loosen up in college. i love music (all kinds! even country, take that 16 year old self!), photography, writing and laughing.

i graduated college in 2006 and blinked. it is now 2012 and i am married to my best friend, which turned me into a navy wife up until a few months ago. Now he is out and we are starting our next exciting stage in life. Oh oh and i am a mommy! I adore being at home with my completely exhausting toddler daughter and newborn (Jan 2012) son.


these are my not-so-daily musings.

I was going to eat lunch

and then the dog puked. That’s two species of throw up in one day. Throw up, spit up, pee, breastmilk poop, this is my day. Thanks a lot Wednesday.

Today in my initiation to parenting 2 children

Cece is throwing up. “Mommy I need to spit in the toilet”

In the words of UmiZoomi “yoinks a doinks!”… Wish me luck y’all.

EmilyPosts: BBQ Turkey Meatloaf →

emilyposts:

I just made this really fun, easy, tasty recipe. It’s a hybrid of two recipes I’ve been wanting to make.

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • a few dashes minced onion (real onion would be better, but Cris hates onion)
  • a few dashes garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1/4 c. breadcrumbs…

Wow this has Kyle written all over it. Def with Sweet Baby Ray’s honey BBQ sauce. Must make!!!

SAHM facts of my day

Life seems so much more doable when I get out of my pjs!

Kids napping at the same time is heaven.

Sunny days are one hundred percent happier than rainy days.

Really wish I had time and energy to shower and dry and straighten my hair daily! No makeup but it still felt great to look like an adult today :)

ps: I can’t make normal faces

It’s our marriage anniversary.

Cece is at her Nana’s house. Kyle is picking up sushi for our dinner. Now if I could get Bug to sleep anywhere other than my chest and stop eating hourly THEN maybe Kyle and I could celebrate. I’m not cleared by the doc for any hanky panky (wow I just said hanky panky) but a nice long kiss would make my night.

Happy 5 years baby, I love you!

This pic is us kissing on the beach in Florida after getting married in a small ceremony. We had our big wedding 9 months later in NJ but this is the day we became husband and wife. Barefoot with my toes on the sand.
