Hi.
::waving::
I'm Steph.
And I write on this here blog.
I started blogging in January 2009 when my oldest daughter (Little Chica) was 6 months old. Becoming a mother was a huge (get punched in the face oh that tickles but not really type of) experience for me. I was suddenly responsible for this little life, while simultaneously saying good-bye to my life as a young working woman. One morning I woke up and realized that I, as well as many other Moms today, was among the ranks of the new and improved Donna Reed:
Mommy.
Edgy.
Domestic.
Domestic.
Sexy.
Technologically plugged in.
I think it's important to be real and to have community. When I became a Mom, I needed a platform to generate both of those things. So I decided to start this blog as a place to share my fumbling experiences at parenthood, laughable attempts at domestic goddessy, random thoughts and to catalog my recipes.
Like I said. Domestic.
It's kind of all been downhill from there.
I'm now the mother to not one, but two, beautiful chicklets: Little Chica (almost 4 years old) and Bitty Bug (15 months old). I am married to the most gorgeous blued-eyed English-teaching frisbee-throwing meat-grilling park-hiking beer-connoiseur of a man you've ever (or never) laid eyes on. He is referred to on this blog as Hubby.

What can I say? I'm blessed.
Some fun facts about me:
2. I was a huge dork growing up, some of which can be evidenced in this post. More posts on the subject to come.
3. I was a social worker in my pre-kids life. I worked with teenagers on probation. I loved it and hated it and sometimes I miss it.
4. I dislike talking on the phone. It makes me uncomfortable, sweaty and nervous.
5. Kevin Spacey is one of my favorite actors. The man is brilliant.
7. I not-so-secretly think my husband is one of the greatest people to ever grace this earth.
8. For as much as they put me through the ringer, I love my daughters more than life itself.
9. I have some awesome friends, who are mentioned from time to time on this blog.
10. My family is dysfunctional and fabulous.
I'm still currently a SAHM (that's Stay-at-Home Mom lingo for "stay at home mom") in Chester County, PA (about 40 minutes outside of Philly). I'm still fumbling through these Adventures in Parenthood. I'm on a mission to be healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle, but ice cream will always be my kryptonite. Most days I am a glorious disaster, but I'm a work in progress.
I'd love for you to join me on this journey we call life. Because being a screw-up around other people is much more funny than screwing up alone.
Cheers,
PS - I write here too:
