As I wrote that sentence I wondered if there was any meaning in the natural order that those roles spilled out onto the screen. Some roles are new, while others (teacher, student, Easter Bunny) have been dropped. I rememeber in my twenties trying to figure out who I was and now as I complete my 30's I realize that who I am is an ever changing dynamic held together by some core values that get sorted out as I write. So welcome to The Nest.

If I Get it All Down on Paper


Some friends of mine that I met through the mommy world have created a blog called Jersey Moms Blog (jerseymomsblog.com). They have graciously allowed me to write for them so I will have an article posted twice a month. The other girls who write for the blog are much more talented than me so it is worth a read :) Also, anything I post with them cannot be posted here. Therefore, this blog will be more scrapbook and the posts on Jersey Moms Blog will be a little more insightful. I am not really sure when and how I am going to fit all this writing in but I like the pressure of a deadline because it keeps me working on something other than emptying the diaper genie.


Back Here At Home There's Nothin To Do







Back from our 2nd family vacation. We spent a week in Sea Isle with Bry's side of the family. It was a really great vacation. That sentence sounds so trite but it really was a great actual vacation. We went to the beach just about everyday, I read a whole book (something I have not done in a space of three days in quite some time), Bryan and I went out for dinner, twice. We took the kids to the Ocean City Boardwalk, the Cape May Zoo, and on the Sea Isle Trolley. We had our first fudgie wudgie man moment. We even got to spend some time with my friend Sandy and her kids who happened to be up from Florida and vacationing nearby. I realize as I write this that it sounds as busy and full as a normal week, but that's the way I like to vacation. I have never been very good at sitting still and most of the time the kids roll with me in that kinetic state. In fact after I finished my book on Thursday I started to get a little antsy. Bry urged me to just chill out, but really, when have I ever done that willingly.
