what's a mama bloggie, you ask?

Hi there, I'm new to the world of blogging and am writing from the desert of Southern Arizona. Please feel free to call me mama bloggie.  Since becoming a mom about a year ago I have an increased urge to share my thoughts and experiences with a larger audience than those poor souls in my cell phone address book.  Plus, I have to admit, I can't keep track of who I've told what these days so it will be easy for me to post to my blog and know that my stories are right here on the web for anyone to find.

If you've just stumbled upon my blog, this is my 'mom blog' and I like to refer to myself as mama bloggie.  It's not only for moms, or moms-to-be, but for anyone who might be interested in all the various things I'm doing, experimenting with, sharing, thinking (and sometimes ranting) about.

In my little world I have an ever growing baby, a teen to whom I am a pseudo-mom, a wonderful husband, and two parents of my own who have 'temporarily' relocated to the Sonoran Desert to be with their first grandchild.  I am a busy mama who tries to be home as much as I can while maintaining my part time job for which I am grateful 'cause I don't know if I have what it takes to be a stay-at-home mom.



Given that set of circumstances, you will likely read many posts about these people and the events of my day to day life.  Generally speaking, I am always on the lookout for a great bargain, handy household tips, and easy/healthy/tasty (did I mention easy?) recipes for our food and homemade baby food too.  Oh yeah, and I also have recently become Certified as a Lactation Counselor and will likely eagerly share breast feeding information here.  That and an occasional rant about this or that.

Please feel free to contact me via my blog, and leave comments cause I don't just love to hear myself talk (!) I'm also very interested in what you have to say.
