A brief introduction though is probably needed. I am an adoring wife to my honey Rolf and I am the world's greatest mom (or so my squishies tell me so) to Jason (14) and Emma (8). And we have a wee little malti-pooh named Princess (I bet you didn't see that one coming).
Together, we 5 live a great life, the best life because it is our life. A life we have built on faith, love, honesty and so much more...A life we have build with our own two hands, hard work and dedication.
We are traveling down the road of life together, side by side and I wouldn't have it any other way...so now that we are through the brief introduction let's move into the day to day. Both my husband and I raise our amazing children jointly. (This is 2012 so yes we do this jointly. And actually let me state I find it hard to believe that anyone has a home where joint roles are not present and the wife/husband solely raises the children unless of course they are without partner). We do this while managing to be successful in our careers as well...it is true you can have it all and pull off both if you are spontaneous yet methodical, have fun but plan well and make sure that you have time for your squishies and still time for yourself, your talents and your goals. :) I guess the blogs namesake makes a lot more sense now. I carry a Management degree and Rolf, well he's still deciding what he wants to complete in school...no rush he is brilliant so it will come in time...
With that all said let's share a bit about my intent. I plan to share my day to day ramblings...my thoughts things as well as feelings and my opinions...mushy love stuff, food (I'm a foodie) and anything else that I have not already mentioned. :) Let's start with just a random thought on today...
Today was ridiculously hot here in Omaha. I was at work in an air conditioned building and when I went out to my car to leave the temp read 104 degrees. Are you kidding me? I guess summer had to hit some time but really I would like it to go away now. Oh what I would give for some overcast <70 degrees days with light rain. (My favorite kind of weather). I regularly dream of packing up my two squishies and the hubs and moving to London! Get us out of the states, away from all the family drama(s) and too much "noise" for peace, love, quiet and did I mention the weather?

Well it's time for bed so I will close with a good quote.
We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens we will have no regrets. - Dalai Lama
