Not Me! Monday

 

So my fellow “mommy bloggers” out there in the land of the internet often share a fun “Not Me Monday” post started by MckMama and I always think they are a riot and, let’s be honest, I have a whole lot of material around here to use!

Where do I start…there are oh so many things that I did not do this week.

For instance, I most certantly did not throw a temper tantrum with full fledged kicking and screaming on the floor to show my 4 year old how silly it looked when he did it. I am a civilized woman who knows how to handle her child and I would never do that.

I also did not play guitar hero for so long that I dreamed about it and woke up pressing my fingers into my husband’s side. That would be sad and I am just way too busy cooking stuff from scratch and cleaning my house to spend that much time playing on the wii.

My boys did not wear the same pjs for about three days straight all day and night without taking a bath or changing their underwear over Christmas vacation. I am way too clean of a person to allow such filthy grooming habits!

And lastly, I did not ring in the New Year by watching Seinfeld reruns in bed with my husband even though we were kid free for the night. I am so much cooler than that.  I swear.

Is This Thing On?

Hi everyone!

Welcome!

I am always getting emails from friends for recipes, endless phone calls with tearful fellow Mommies about parenting struggles and posting ideas and thoughts on Facebook to share with all my friends and family. So I thought starting a blog would be a fun and practical way to share it all in one spot! I have plans to write a cookbook or maybe even a book on general Mom stuff, but this is much easier for now!

Whether you are a stay at home Mom like myself or a working Mom, I hope you will find something here to help you, inspire you and encourage you in all your “Mommy Duties”. You don’t have to make everything from scratch to glean from this blog. I will be posting ideas, thoughts and recipes for every kind of Mom in every kind of situation!

So please feel free to follow me on my journey to make my family’s happiness from scratch!

You can follow me on Twitter @MyHomemadeHappy and check out Bellazizas Favorite Things where I also write reviews and other fun stuff!

I’ll start the recipe sharing with a link to my favorite quick chocolate fix! I already wrote a whole post on it at Bellaziza’s Favorites last winter so I’ll just send you over there!  The Most Dangerous Chocolate Cake Recipe Ever!

Enjoy!
