Who Is Mamarazzi?

I started this blog as a place to Journal about my family and the many adventures we go on. It grew into something bigger and more fun than I ever could have imagined. I love the 'blog sphere' and feel like I am a part of a truly fabulous community of blogging moms and women. So. Much. Fun.

I am blessed to have a beautiful daughter who made my dream of becoming a mom come true. Jordan (J) is amazing and is always making her daddy and I laugh. She brings so much joy to our lives and happiness to our home. She has a very special heart and an incredibly unique view of life and the world around her. She and her friends are the ones who came up with my pseudo name Mamarazzi. I EARNED that name by chasing them around with my camera trying to document every little bit of childhood goodness I can. So far she loves it. I am sure there will be a time in her life when she will prefer the camera not to be in her face so I am snapping away for as long as I can. I have a wonderful husband who is beyond my wildest dreams. Big Daddy loves me in a way that I have never been loved before and has brought new colors into my world. I love him for that. He is my best friend and I feel blessed to have such a great partner in life. I think we make a fabulous parenting team and one of our favorite things to do is bask in the awesomeness that is our child.

Through blogging I have made many wonderful friends. They are real people in my life and I am constantly reminded of what a wonderful blessing they are to me. I love my bloggy friends and have learned so much from reading your blogs and learning from your lives. Thanks for that.

So Who Is Mamarazzi? I am a mom, a wife, a sister, an Auntie, a daughter, a niece, a grand daughter, a friend...I am more than I ever imagined I could be. I am a crusader for all things right and good, a seeker of good company and an enjoyer (I make words up) of a good laugh, good times with people I love and opportunities to grow as a person. I love things that smell good, clean laundry especially, I LOVE pineapple cilantro candles from Yankee, diet Pepsi (prefer it from a fountain, over ice balls, in a cup, with a lid, and a straw, delivered with love), fruit from a farmers market, fresh cut flowers, yummy smelling lotions and long hot showers. I love to decorate and create beautiful things and comfortable environments. I love to host a dinner party or game night with friends and like to think of my home as the place people love to gather. We love to have a BBQ around the pool or just hear a house full of giggling little girls when my daughter has one of her many slumber parties. My ALL TIME favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. We play games after dinner together every night and those conversations we have at the dinner table are precious to me.

I develop curriculum for a living. I am also a faculty member for Fishful Thinking; a parenting website created by Pepperidge Farm, the makers of Goldfish.

We are currently wishing to add to our family and are hopeful that will happen through Foster Adopt soon. Jordan has always dreamed of siblings and we feel like our family is not quite complete. We strive to find the JOY in our Foster Adoption JOurneY and we have faith that God will bring children into our lives who need a Forever Family most.

Life is good...I am glad you are here to share it with us!
