Another mommy blogger?

Well I suppose I should start with an introduction. I'm Nina. I'm 21 years old. I raise my 2 babies in a small town. A really small town. I'm a stay at home mom who has always enjoyed writing and Journaling my life. Fortunately, when you have 2 kids you NEVER run out of things to talk about. Since I had my son (Rowan), I'd put posts on instagram with long endless thoughts of how I view motherhood. Now I also have a daughter (Lydia "Liddy") and my views of motherhood continue to change and adjust with each day. Many of my friends have consistently encouraged me to start blogs or write books or submit articles. So I figure the blog is a good place to start.
    My days consist of chasing Rowan (2 and half years) while Liddy (3 months) is attached to my boob (all day, every day). I never have quiet shower time. I cook and clean one handed. I recently just chopped my hair off so that I can just wake up and hit the floor running (after Rowan usually). My husband works a typical Monday thru Friday 8 to 6 job playing in the dirt (landscaping). Needless to say Saturday and Sunday are my favorite days because there are 2 extra arms to restrain my kids with.
     I'm very strongly opinionated about some things. I realize this may irritate alot of people. But that's why this is my blog. So please, spare me the comments off your disapproval if you disagree with something.
     I am by no means one of those mom's who spends $7 on gluten free bread or $10 for 6 Hebrews national franks. My kids will probably live to ripe old age of 110 because of all the preservatives they will eat. Yes I make Rowan eat his fruits and veggies. But I also let him eat Oscar Meyer weiners and Oreos too. Have I put root beer in his sippy cup before? I sure have. Do I let him sit in the buggy and eat a bag of chips so I can get thru the store without trying to leave him on a shelf? You betcha. Here's the deal, I'm a tired young mom. I may not do everything perfectly, but I do try to train my kids to be decent humans. Isn't that all any mom is trying to do? I Hope this new attempt of mine proves to be what I think it will be. And I hope it provides you readers with plenty of laughs, tears, and peace of mind knowing you aren't the only ones out there losing your battles to tiny 2 year old dictators. Here's to raising isoms, or whatever your kid's last name is!

-Nina.

    I love this already :D just your wording on things makes me chuckle. Of course, I am not a mom. But if I was, I would imagine it would be a lot like this.

I should probably write Bi-lo an apology for today

     I'm not sure if I'm brave or crazy. It's a fine line I often find myself on. But nevertheless I decided I was going to take my two kids to the grocery store alone. Since my daughter was born I've always had my husband go with me to do major shopping. I can handle a quick run thru for a few things with the two of them. But I have never shopped like this without my husband. The cabinets were bare and I really couldn't wait until 7 o'clock tonight.      I loaded the kiddos up at 8:30am and headed first for an oil change. While we waited at walmart, Rowan terrorized the toy department. I'm so sorry to the walmart employees who had to clean up the mess. I tried to put things back as best I could. When the oil change was finished we went out to the car and Rowan proceeded to release himself from my grasp and run thru the parking lot. This kid has a death wish. I think I'm going to need to get a lasso. Next stop was goodwill to find Will (husband) some w...

Moments

The thing about being a mother is it sometimes you're too busy to hold the camera in your hand to capture the Beautiful Moments. But that's what makes them what they are, that's what makes them moments. There one minute, gone the next. Like last night when my son crawled into bed with us and I laid there and my husband put his arm over me and my arm was over my son, and I thought this would be the perfect picture. But that's what makes it so special, so priceless. Some moments you can't capture. Some moments you have to live in, and you have to take in every second before it's gone. Because trust me it's gone faster than you would like. And then this morning as I was cooking breakfast and I look over the bar of my kitchen, I see my children talking to each other. Well my son talking, my three month old babbling back at him. But that connection was so special, and that's the kind of thing that a camera just can't hold. It can't hold that emotion a...
