I absolutely love this photograph. I decided to share it with you.

Hello, and welcome to my ‘special’ place that I like to call "My Mom Is Totally Nuts!" I have been itching to start a "mom" blog for years, but never did...that is until today! I am utterly excited to share this adventure with you.

I bet you are wondering “how in the world did this strange lady come up with the name of her blog?” The answer is in the pudding… my kids! One night, I was sitting at my desk (we will get to that later…), and my youngest daughter walked into the room. She blurted out “Wow, my mom is totally nuts!” Once I heard the words, I knew the name of my blog had been born!

It was a sweet birth, much like ‘actual’ childbirth! I struggled for years… but simply could not come up with a name (much like the pains pregnant women have to endure during 9 months of a child growing inside their bodies!) And, then finally, my baby was born (again….no need really to elaborate here, is there?)

You see, I think (ok, I don’t think I know, ha ha) that my daughter is right! I am totally nuts and I love every single bit of being a complete nut! I love to laugh, I love to tell jokes, I love to sing and make a fool of myself; I love to let loose and forget about the daily stress that every single mother (and father) endures every single day!

So, who exactly am I? Well, I am a wife, a mother to many, a grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter, a sister, a writer, an editor, a full-time student, an adventurer, an entrepreneur, and a woman! Oh wait, let’ s not forget a workaholic!

But, don’t let that fool you…no no! I enjoy kickin’ back with a glass wine and listening to great music. I enjoy bbq’s and going to the lake. I enjoy hot bubble baths (don’t we all!) There are many things that I enjoy.

I plan on posting about a variety of topics on my blog… and daily! Here you will find posts that are food-related (did I forget to mention I am also an avid foodie!) humor related, family related, parenting related, arts and crafts related, and working from home related, and whatever the heck else pops into my mind on a specific day.

I look forward to meeting all of you. Thank you for reading my blog.

(Disclaimer...that is NOT me in the photograph above, but I love her funky attitude!)
