4 Girls and a Daddy

Well, here we are! Four girls and poor Daddy! (The dog is a boy, but he's also a poodle, so Nick says that doesn't count.) The girls are Victoria (Tori) who just turned 5, Haleigh who is 2 1/2 and a spit fire like her Mama, and miss Emily (I don't know why I always add "miss" to her name, but it seems to fit her). Emily was born November 14th and we are starting to adjust to our new addition! My role in this crazy zoo of a family? I'm Mom...teacher, chef, maid, milk machine, booboo kisser, disciplinarian, diaper changer, taxi driver, and so many other jobs I pick up along the way. I am 27 years old and a full time wife and Mommy. I sell Scentsy and Velata on the side as a way of making a little extra money and getting a little "me time". Nick works as a Logistics Operator for a plastics company and spends as much time with us as he can. He does work a lot, but it provides enough for us that I am able to stay home with the girls, and for that, I am truly thankful. It SUPER sucks not having my partner, my best friend, and for the girls Daddy around sometimes, but we make the best of the days we get to spend together! 

So, what can you expect to read about on my blog? Well, I'll post recipes when I make something yummy, I'll share products and companies I think no one should live without, and mostly I'll just write about us and our silly little life. I welcome comments and suggestions on things you want to read about and I hope you just enjoy sharing some time with us. 

Nick is at work tonight so the girls and I are watching Disney movies. I am DYING for bed time to come so I can watch some grown up TV and maybe have a glass of wine!! I love my children more than anything on the planet, but I gotta tell ya...they are TESTING me lately. Perhaps it is the fact that I pretty much haven't had a moment to myself since October (when I went on leave from work while pregnant with Em)...I'm pretty sure I have earned a spa day or 6!! (And like an entire box of wine...don't judge!)

Well...the baby was just awoken by one of her sisters screaming. So I'm off to fulfill my "milk machine" duties. Until next time my friends...goodnight!

XOXO ~ Dana
