Jennifer

Have you always just been dying to know more about the gal behind this blog? Oh I just knew you had ;). Fun fun hehe.

Well your dying to know can come to an end now as I spill about my life over at MomsBlogging.com. Head over there now to read more about the ole Jen!

No you read that title right… don't take a double take! I have never had no desire to even step a foot into an airport until today! My step-daughter lived with us for the summer and we had to fly her back to NC today. I'm very sad about this :(. Contrary to the myth of step mommy and step daughter relationships.. we have a really good relationship. She even comes to me more than she does her dad. It wasn't always like this , but we have crossed that bridge and are on the very good side of the bridge .

So we head out today at lunch to the Orlando airport… as we are pulling in… I'm blown away by how big the airport is. Then when we get inside I am even more blown away. I assumed (what I get for assuming) is that you would just board a plane and that's it. Boy was I wrong. There was like a mini mall in there and even a hotel inside the airport LOL. I don't think we have had more fun as a family in a long time.. just goofing off in the airport. It was good for my heart as I wanted to keep my thoughts off of my step-daughter leaving. Once she went through those gates and they wouldn't let me go back with her I just went and sat down with tears welling up in my eyes. I love that girl just as she was my own and my beautiful daughters love their big sister as well. So yes I am here to prove a step mommy and a step daughter CAN get along hehe.

Have fun looking at our family having a grand time in the airport :

I connected with a really cool attachment parenting mom today! Just how did we meet? Through the wonderful world of mom bloggers. I love finding new people online to associate my parenting style with. My heart is very dear to breastfeeding and attachment parenting.

Ya know…No one had even talked to me about breastfeeding or attachment parenting before I had my girls. I just assumed I would try breastfeeding with my first born daughter even against my extended family's wishes. You see they thought I was the craziest person to be breastfeeding my child past 6 months old. I got told over and over how I would never get her weaned. Well I guess I showed them!! Anyways my point to all this is… I wish I would had more support back 5 years ago and not go through it all alone. I am seeing more and more talk about breastfeeding and attachment parenting online. It thrills me to know that other moms are not going through this alone anymore :).

And speaking of my new blogging friend, she has the cutest shirts she designs and she is giving one away too. Head over there now and enter before August 3rd when she draws the winner. If I don't win… and I really really hope I do, I will be placing my order for a shirt and that's a promise hehe!
