About Me

Hi there! Welcome to my mommy blog. Wait. There's gotta be a better name for this type of blog. Mommy blog is so....mawkishly sentimental. How about my blog of randomness? I like that better. We'll go with that.

I am a former graphic designer, turned 5th grade science teacher. I am from Louisville, Kentucky, am a die-hard Louisville Cardinals fan, but am an Alabama girl just the same. {Roll Tide!} My husband and I moved to Birmingham in 2007 and we've called it home ever since. I graduated from the University of Louisville in 2005 with a BA in Graphic Design and more recently, I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a MA in Elementary Education. I love my job and thank God every day for giving me the chance to change careers in the middle of my life. I have a teaching blog, The Science Life, where I share my ideas, successes, and failures as a teacher. I love it.

I've been married to hands-down the BEST husband on planet Earth for 5 years. We've been through a whole lotta stuff together since we met in 2001. He's hilarious, smart, hard-working, and a hottie to boot. Love me some Glenn. We're expecting our first baby girl, Olivia, in April.We have a fur-daughter, Layla, who we adore. She's very excited to become a big sister. Or so we keep telling her. She has no idea what's coming to her. Poor thing. {Alas, most of you moms out there are probably muttering those same words...only about ME!} We love our family and have lots of fun together doing just about everything that normal couples love to do.

I love the idea of having a "blog of randomness" for several reasons. The first reason is that I really love blogging! It's fun to have a place to keep everything. Second, I want to be able to embarrass Olivia at some point in her life. {As if those opportunities won't present themselves enough...I want to just make sure I have extra leverage.} Finally, did you know you could have your blog PRINTED?! Amazing idea. Genius. And I'm totally doing it someday.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the cyber world. If you've stuck with me and read this far, please leave me a comment! And especially if you have your own "blog of randomness" - leave a comment with your blog link so I can come stalk you!
