Unlike most of my blogger friends, I am not a stay at home mom. I work for a recycling company and travel a lot speaking about sustainability and recycling. And from my small experience with maternity leave, sick days and extended holidays, I know God had given SAHMs a special gift so I totally admire & respect all of those mothers (including my own) who work every day with no pay check or lunch break! I also spend my extra(?!)time volunteering for the local cultural arts and other community organizations. After my fair share of time in the big city, I really have fallen in love with small town living and have fun working hard so that our families can play hard.
I'm sure there will be many stories of my volunteer action escapades to come!
My husband, Matt, is an attorney by day and by night is our family chef and sports expert. We are approaching our 5th anniversary and have been blessed with a happy, healthy, beautiful baby girl, Campbell
Daddy & Daughter at a Christmas party in Birmingham.
She gets her pretty blue eyes from her daddy!

She's 18 m
onths now and has such the little personality! I'm sure you'll see lots of Campbell blogs from me! She truly has brought a sparkle and warmth into our home and has made us all fall head over heels. But I'm sure that is what every parent says too! It's been so fun to see her grow and learn so much. It goes by so fast!! It seems every day she is doing something new and I continue to have a fear that I might forget one day from the next with her-all her little cute things that make our days and nights go by. So, yes, much of this blog experience will be dedicated to my baby girl!
And of course I can't forget our first child, Chloe. Chloe is a Samoyed and kept me company when I was recovering from a tonsillectomy almost 3 years ago. While I could say that she adds something to our home too...well, its more like white fluff and chaos, but she loves & protects Campbell and they have a very special bond!So, here I go into the blog world. I am not just doing this to show off my family or keep everyone updated on the most recent pictures but I am really doing this because I regret not journaling (especially about my daughter) more. So this will be a record of our lives, as mundane as they may seem at times. I am looking forward to looking back and remembering all the little things that truly make our lives ours.
