ABOUT

Welcome to my blog!

I am a thirty "something" mother to two adventurous and active kids - Green Boy and Green Girl.  Besides being a Momma, I work as an accountant.  I grew up in a rural area with a large family - 5 siblings - so I had to learn to share and to work for the things that I want.  I am very thankful to my parents for both of those skills.  I love to dance. I love to laugh.  I am extremely stubborn and fairly opinionated.  This blog may contain adult language.  I do not apologize for that.

Green Boy (4 yrs old) and Green Girl (1 yr old) are the loves of my life!  Odd how little people come along and change everything.  Five years ago my childless self would never have believed half of the things I am doing now...or that those are the very things that make me the happiest.


My husband, Green Papa, travels for work.  A lot.  He is on the road 80% of the time.  This leaves me to run the household, as well as work, and strive to keep my sanity. Last week I left the house wearing mismatched shoes.  Shit happens.

A lot is going on in 2013 for this Green Momma:

• My only sister, Indigo Tante (Tante is German for "Aunt"), is getting married.
• Green Papa and I put our house on the market.  Living in a staged house with two kids is totally awesome and I highly recommend it. :-/  We currently live near the ghetto. Green Boy and Green Girl do not get to go to inner city schools. At the rate this is going maybe our house will sell by the time Green Boy is in fifth grade. One can only hope.
• Green Girl cannot digest cow's milk protein so she and I are on a dairy free diet.
• Green Boy outed my severe diet soda addiction.  It has reached epic proportions if he is noticing at all (he inherited Green Papa's attention span).  I hope to end this addiction in 2013 once and for all.
• I have made several New Year's Resolutions:
• Become a better photographer.
• Eat healthier. a.k.a. "quit eating meals delivered through my car window"...a.k.a. "Cook more DAMN IT!"
• Read books.
• Take better care of myself.  Take a few guilt-free minutes, once a week, to do something just for me.
• Start a blog.

Expect me to blog about the above, and whatever else this "Game of Life" throws my way.
