Mommyfest 2008!

I decided to participate because I thought it would be cool to get out and new people. So Welcome ladies! Get comfortable and make yourself at home!

For those checking out my blog for the first time here is a little about me - I am a 25 year old stay at home mom to my 18 month old daughter Hailie. I just recently went back to school this past semester to finish my degrees in political science and history - although I am on a break again at the moment. My husband and I are trying for #2.

I'm a homebody. I love reading, photography, music, and watching movies. I'm pretty simple. I decided to really get back into reading.. and I started the Life According to Frances Reading Challenge. My goal is to read 100 books I have never read before the end of the year. I started another blog to document it here. I just started so there isn't much there. I am about halfway through my first book now.

You can find me on cr8buzz - if you haven't been there before make sure you check out the site. It is fantastic - and full of some awesome people.

I am also on twitter.


I blog about my life in general - especially when it comes to my daughter. I was on livejournal up until January (there since 2003) when I decided to go blogger. There's no method to my madness - I just post about whatever is going through my head at the moment.

I look forward to "meeting" everyone!
