Brand New Day

I had intended for my first post to be yesterday, but as usual I am behind the curve.  If you (and I) stick with this blog you'll get to know that about me.  I am also easily distra - SQUIRREL! Okay, so I'm not that bad... Wait, what was I saying?

On the side, I make and sell jewelry with my best friend and mother (shameless plug - http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThreeCheepChicks).  I am a self admitted geek and television addict with an undying love for Joss Whedon. No, seriously - you want to wax philosophical about the imagery in Dollhouse or discuss just how tight Mal's pants were, I'm your girl.

Why did I decide to start a blog? Mostly to record my thoughts on motherhood and track the progression of our lives as my son, Baby C, grows and changes.  I am also blogging as an outlet for creativity, frustration, and a whole host of other emotions.  I intend to be frank as I share my personal experiences and while I would never go out of my way to offend anyone, I do have kind of a twisted sense of humor (just ask me about my grandpa). Some people will not like what they read here, but hopefully you will find that we have more in common than not.  I welcome discussion, but please be respectful, you never know who will read or hear your words.

In the upcoming weeks I plan to tackle the following topics: Baby C's birth, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, forgetfulness, depression, and hair dye.  Here goes nothin...
