MIA

Wow, I cannot believe how neglectful I have been of my blog this month.  First, I offer my apologies for being missing in action!  Next I will offer my excuses!

This month has been C-R-A-Z-Y!  My son turned 3 almost 2 weeks ago an dwe are still recovering from the eight day extravaganza that was his birthday week.  It started with a trip to Build-A-Bear on the 10th and ended with his Toy Story themed party on the 17th!  In the week between, he had Mickey cupcakes at daycare and a mini Cars party at home for just me and my parents.  Then it was my dad's birthday.  Unfortunately it would seem 49 is not as prestigious as 3, so not as much fanfare for him, though we did do a home dinner and an out dinner.  And of course tomorrow is Easter.  Then Thursday I leave for my friend's wedding weekend.  Then April will be over and whole new month of hecticness ensues!

I'm always down for a good party!

Ultimate Blog Party 2011


This is my first year participating in the Ultimate Blog Party.  As a matter of fact I am just beginning my 4th month of blogging, so forgive me (and my little baby blog) for not being more organized!  This party is just too good to miss!

I am Stephanie, otherwise known as "Jack's mommy".  My son Jack will be 3 this month, and I started this blog to share with others the  adventures we have together.  As a single mom, I find that my experiences are sometimes radically different, and yet at others absolutely identical to those two parent families I see around me, and it's interesting to compare.  I wouldn't trade my life with my son for anything though, even if it sometimes seems a bit harder.

So far this blog has been relatively random, but that's the way my mind (and my life) works, so I doubt that will change much over time.  The thing I like the most about blogging is that it gives me the chance to write (aka vent) about whatever is on my mind at the moment.  I am also enjoying getting to know this giant mommy blogging community, and finding my place in it!  I'm looking forward to partying with all of you!
