Stay At Home Mama

I wanted to Introduce our Stay At Home Mommy who happens to be on the east coast. She has a whole different perspective on family and everyday life. Lets welcome her with open arms. Welcome pretty mama.

Oregon Zoo

The Oregon Zoo made a lasting impression on me when I was 8 years old. It was our family vacation to Oregon visiting our Aunt. It was so big and green. Trees everywhere. It rained the whole time but I didn't care.

Growing up my brother, sister and I all loved animals. We grew up raising all sorts of animals. The Zoo was always a great place to go. When we moved to Oregon 2 years after that visit I remember asking to go to the Zoo all the time. It was one of the only field trips in school I truly enjoyed.

My favorite exhibit I would have to say was and still it the penguins. They look so cute and they always interacted with me.

Now that I am a mother I can't wait to take my little girl. She loves animals mostly the reptilian type. If your in the area or plan on visiting the area there is some info below. Please visits http://www.oregonzoo.org/ for all the info.

Welcome!!! This is my first blog so bare with me. My name is Kelly and I am a full time Mommy, Wife and Employee. People like to say being a stay at home mom is a full time job which it is I know I have done it. But when you have two kids 2 years and 4 months and work full time out side of the home you tend to wounder how your going to survive. My days start early and end super late. I have little time with my babies in the week but I take full advantage of the time I do have on the weekend. My Husband and I have been together since we were 15 years old and still love each other very much. He is my best friend and wouldn't know what to do with out him. That being said I wanted to tell about our journey of becoming a family and how were surviving in the world like it is today. Gas being so dang expensive. Daily struggles and not to mention the precious moments of watching out babies grow. I invite you to add and to share your life as well. Feel free to email me with questions or blog posts you would like to see. What kind of things your interested in and so on. Now if you cant tell already I am horrible at grammar and punctuation. Ill start with this post and start from the beginning and work my way to the now.  Thank you for visiting and taking the time to read my Blog.
