About Me
I’m Candace, a 27 year old SAHM to a gorgeous two year old boy who’s attitude sometimes walks a fine line between being a toddler and a teenager, and a brand new baby boy, born June 2008. I started this blog when I was pregnant with my first to chronicle the day-to-day-life of a soon to be mom, and then my life as a new mom. Images would dance in my head of what it would be like after I had my baby - we’d play and gaze longingly into each other’s eyes, while my coifed hair and manicured nails would be the envy of my other mom friends. That reality came crashing down when I realized my life was no longer my own and dealing with all the emotions that came with it. When my son was eight months old I was diagnosed with Post-Partum Depression and finally began a healing process that has gotten me to where I am today.
I like to write about my comings and goings with my family, and can find humor in almost any situation, laughing at inappropriate things at times. Because sometimes all you can do is laugh. This blog is about our life, including my amazing, faithful and talented husband, Tim, and the smaller loves of my life, my sons Conner and Max. I always thought I believed in the mantra, “Live life to it’s fullest,” but have really begun to grasp this concept since becoming a mom. This is the absolute best job in the world, and there is nothing anyone could say that would make me think otherwise.
When I’m not playing with blocks or convincing a two year old that peas do in fact taste like m&m’s, you’ll find me at my sewing table, doing what I enjoy so much - creating. And when I’m not at my sewing machine, I’m just a few feet away in the kitchen with my head buried in a cookbook. I have a love of many things, but to sum it up, I love life. And most importantly my life. Thanks for taking an interest in it - I hope you find it as entertaining as I surely do.
~ Candace
