And so it begins...

So I'm finally going to do it: a blog. Isn't that de riguer for a stay at home mom?

Hopefully, this will be much more than that. My goal is for this to become a resource...recipes, humor, shopping (that's grocery shopping, who has time or money for the other kind!) tips, and much more.

I want to celebrate being a stay at home mom...yes, celebrate. Even though the invites from friends don't come anymore, "dressed up" is any outfit that matches, and your sense of accomplishment comes from getting a load of laundry in AND emptying the dishwasher on the same day.

So to you, the stay at home mom (SAHM) may be a creature to be pitied...but we know the truth. That this stepping stone in life, this path we have chosen, is truly just training for our higher calling: ninja. We deftly soothe the cranky baby and start dinner. Silently make appointments and (usually) get there on time. Swiftly save tiny fingers from plunging into hot (okay, lukewarm) coffee and baby food jars. Coordinate healthy dinners that transform into lunches the next day. Stealthily throw away that embarassing t-shirt the husband tries to wear almost daily.

It's true. You can't deny it. We are ninjas. Stay at Home Ninjas.
