So I thought I would start a blog about my daily life and being a Mama and all of the lovely and not so lovely things that go along with that. More of just a place to share thoughts and ideas and talk about myself. Sounds good? Fantastic. Hop on the Train...toot toot.
My name is Lizzie and I am a Mama to a beautiful 19 month old girl we named Alice. She is a joy and brings a lot of laughter to our life. I like to share all of her shenanigans every chance I get. I am married to a wonderful man, He is my real life country boy and he is the absolute best dude. We have an almost three year old Beagle named Gandalf, better known as Beegs. I REALLY love boots and apparently have passed that love on to my young daughter hence the title of my blog :)I was born and mostly raised in Texas. I grew up in Austin and reside there now. I've lived in a few different spots but this is home to me.
My husband is a diesel mechanic and works in the oil industry so he is gone about 3 weeks out of the month, which makes me a "part time single Mom". I find this very challenging at times because I am not alloted many "breaks" from my darling kiddo. So I find ways to keep us busy and entertained and learning new things. I have started making more time for myself but at times find that hard too.
I guess I am what has been described recently to me as a "crunchy" Mama, which I'm assuming is in reference to granola and tree hugging? I am a bit of an Earth Mama and like to find ways to save money, be semi-self sustaining and good to our Earth. So I'll take it. I'm into cloth diapers, making our own food, organic stuff, chickens, breastfeeding and all that kind of stuff so I suppose that makes me "crunchy" HA!
That's all for now because I am tired. I'm not really sure if this is the proper way to start my blogging but here it is...should be interesting..
