All About Me

I have started writing this post at least 10 times.  And every time I find it going into another direction, I start talking about my I blog, the thoughts behind the blog title, I even go onto a tangent about our dog.

But what I want to write is a post about me. Why do I find it so hard to write about myself.  I can tell you everything about my kids, but turn the spotlight on me (and I actually do like the spotlight on me), and I find it hard to find the words.

Here is a little bit about me (in point form so I can’t get distracted and go off about my kids)

-          I am in my early thirties

-          I am married to a wonderful man.

-          We have 2 kids together – Little Girl is 4 ½ and Little Boy just turned 3.

-          We have a 6 year old Long Haired Miniature Dachshund – names Brutis!

-          We live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

-          I work full time out of the house.

-          I love to cook and bake.

-          I make most meals from scratch in our house, but I do have Kraft Dinner and Hamburger Helper in the pantry too.

-          I grew up in a small town but moved to Calgary just  2 weeks out of high school.

-          I always said I would never again live in a small town, but now with kids I can see the benefits of it.

-          I really doubt we will ever move to a small town.  I have told hubby – it would have to have a Starbucks at a minimum!

-          I love coffee, red wine and Coca-Cola – all bad for me but I don’t care.

-          I don’t really like chocolate; it all goes to Hubby and the kids.

-          I love to read; I read about a book a week.

-          I am in 2 book clubs.

-          I planted a vegetable garden for the first time last year – and loved it!

-          I have 1 sister and 2 bothers – all are married, all live in Calgary and no one has kids but me.

-          I drive a minivan – big surprise!
