How old are you now and how old are your munchkins?

I am 22, Jordan is 5 and Miley is 5months 🙂

If you could describe your child in 3 words what would they be?

Jordan is Smart, Funny, Loving
Miley is Beautiful, cuddly, Loving

What’s an average day like for you these days?

Depends on the weather, Miley can’t use sunscrean yet so we can’t go outside if its too hot which it has been so during the day we usually just chill out watching cartoons,crafts,go shopping,play games, then after Ryan goes to work at 4 we make dinner, eat, and by 6 – 6:30 when it starts to cool down Miley and I sit on the step while Jordy plays at the park in front of the house with a couple little girls who live down the street or if its shady enough I bring Miley to the park too and put her on the swing. Then we come inside, kids get a bath and we watch a movie or something on t.v. and go to sleep until Ryan gets off work and then I wake up again and watch t.v. with him for a bit, then go back to bed.

If you had a day all to yourself (kid free & lottery financed) how would you spend it?

Hmmm…well its been so long since I’ve been totally kid free that I dont even know what I’d do..lol..Definetly Shopping, probably go to a spa, depending on how much money I got from the lottery I would look at houses and if I did have enough to buy one I’d do that and use my shopping trip to also pick out new furniture and decorative things for the house…lol…If not I’d still probably use the shopping trip to redecorate this place..after getting new clothes for all of us and some awsome toys for the kids..lol…

What would you say your parenting style is like?

I’m not sure I really have a style. I kinda just go with the flow. I wouldn’t say I’m “strict” but definetly do not allow Jordan to do half the things the parents around here let their children do. Whatever my style is it must be working because Jordan is polite,well mannered and when it comes to the important rules he listens. He does know how to test my patience and sometimes likes to see how far he can push me but over all he’s a great kid 🙂 & I’m sure Miley will turn out just as great <3 One thing I do not believe in is beating your kids, I do spank Jordan’s bum sometimes if he’s getting really out of hand but most of the time a simple time out and explanation of what he did wrong and why he can’t do it works good for us.

What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of?

I feel just by having my two amazing children that I have everything anyone could ask for. I would love for Ryan to spend less time sleeping and more time with the family. I’d also love to have our own house or at least a place in a different neighborhood but as long as I have my children,Ryan, & my family I’m happy 🙂

How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad of your kids? Who has whose last name?

I am not with Jordan’s bio-dad. Since he wasnt around for my pregnancy or the first year and a half of Jordan’s life (besides the birth and maybe 10minutes when he was 2 days old) Jordan has MY last name. I am with Ryan (Miley’s dad) and Miley has his last name. Sometimes I feel bad for Jordan because if Ryan and I get married in the future Jordan will be the only one withought his last name..BUT Jordan thinks its cool that he has the same last name as my brother so I dont think he would care..lol..

What are some of your pet peeves?

hmmm… being interupted while I’m talking, parents who don’t put their children first, when parents let their children run around unsupervised, people who are rude to the elderly & also the elderly who think they can be rude to younger people just because they are old, when adults can’t clean up after themselves and leave nasty messes all over the place right after I’ve cleaned (*cough* Ryan *cough* lol), when people walk all over my house with their shoes on (unless its for a good reason like moving something into the house or out of the house), people who dont have common curtesy, people who stand in the middle of the aisle talking while I’m trying to shop..lol..& I could probably go on but I’ll stop here..lol

What are the most unique things about yourself?

I can do a bendy thing with my fingers that freaks most people out..lol…I’m so complicated sometimes I confuse myself…I’m left handed but can only use scissors with my right hand & I can also write with my right hand (if I go slow almost as good as with my left)…and I can pick things up with my feet..lol…

And finally, what’s your writing/blogging style?

This is my first blog so I’m not sure yet..lol…
