The Reason



Well...there are a few reasons behind why I wanted to start this blog. First and foremost...I LOVE to write and ever since I've become a mother I haven't had the time to write (or do much of anything other than being a Mommy). Don't get me wrong...I LOVE being a Mommy, but writing is my outlet and without an outlet...well...let's just say I feel very lucky that my husband hasn't gone running for the hills.

My second reason for blogging is because of my ever-present attribute of being sentimental. I hold onto people, things, moments, etc with large amounts of passion and I am constantly feeling like I will someday forget certain things if I don't write them down. The most pressing thing is my childrens' youth. Though my sons are only 2 and 4 months, I feel like I've already forgotten so much due to the whirlwind of life. Having this blog will allow for me to document their lives in a way that I will cherish forever. I've always found mommies with reality shows to be so lucky - not because of the fame or fortune, but because they get to rewind their lives at any point and watch their kids and the amazing things they've said and done. I highly doubt that anyone would want to follow me with a camera. I would totally get mad at the cameramen for being in my way (I can't handle the DOG being in my way). So anyway, this will really help me to document some really cool moments.

Another reason I want to blog is because I think other mothers will find comfort, humor, and definitely some common ground in my words. I also think that other mothers might be able to help ME in times of need when it comes to motherhood.

Phew....well, with that out of the way I should probably introduce myself. My name is Annette. I am 30 years old and I live in New York State. My husband's name is Brian and he is the most wonderful man. He has always taken such good care of me as his wife and I don't think I give him enough credit - I am NOT easy to deal with! I am sometimes a perfectionist, sometimes not. I am sometimes Type A and sometimes Type B. I have LOTS of opinions and LOTS of moods. Sometimes I care about people's thoughts WAY too much. My biggest flaw is how critical I am of myself. Over the years I have tried to be self-reflective and I now do that to a fault. I am complicated but Brian loves me. He definitely deserves some recognition for that (even on a puny little blog forum like this). The most amazing part about Brian, though, is how good of a dad he is. I married him knowing that he would be a great father to our children, but I had no idea how great he would be. He sings to them, cuddles them, plays with them, stands up for them. Seriously...I couldn't have asked for better for them. On that note....we have two beautiful sons. Colin is 2 years and 1.5 months old. Joey is just shy of being 5 months old. This blog will mostly be about them and the hilarious, cringe-worthy, cute, mortifying, wonderful things that they do. PLEASE read, comment and ENJOY.... <3
