Freelance Writer, Musician, and Mommy
I moved to Fayetteville January 1st, 2009. I have a loving husband and two boys (Cavan, 7 months, and Camden, 2 years). When I am not busy with my boys, I enjoy writing, taking photographs, and singing. I served as resident artist with Opera Carolina in Charlotte and was most recently employed with USC-Lancaster as an instructor of music. Since moving to Fayetteville, I have been staying home with my boys; I am constantly looking for ways to entertain my toddler. If you need a singer, look me up! I can also send you a demo.

For most of my life I have dreamed of living on the coast. I have enjoyed family vacations to Myrtle Beach for as long as I can remember and longed for the day when I could permanently plant my feet in some sunny, Southern sand. Each move for Ryan's job has taken us further East, and for the past 5 months, my young boys and I have had the pleasure of calling the coastal city of Wilmington, North Carolina (the Port City) our home. Being locals, we have experienced all the eccentricities of coasta…

The boys are back and on the road again! After some time away from blogging (the boys keep me on the go), I have decided to commit to this blogging thing (notice the new title, still subject to my whim). Blogging might be my only friend for a while because the latest news is that we are moving AGAIN!
This will make our 3rd move in 16 months. From Charlotte, to Fayetteville, to Wilmington, oh my! The lucky new city is Savannah, Georgia, and I am thrilled we will still be able to enjoy…

Some of us mothers have already met the little signs of aging such as laugh lines and crows feet, but probably one of the most dreaded enemies of women over 30 is decreased metabolism.
Aside from excercise and healthy eating, there are a few other things (food things!) you can add to your regimen to help you lose weight and keep it off! Check out the following article that appeared on MSN.com today:

My mornings are usually a little bit chaos with a dash of crazy, but things really seem to get off to the wrong start when the boys wake me up first. I really need to force myself to get out of bed when I hear Ryan leave for work, but up until recently, my youngest was still waking at least once every night wanting a bottle or a diaper. Camden (3 years) and Cavan (18 months) wake up between 6:30 and 7:30 every morning. I can hear Cavan in his crib "whoo, whooing" and laughing to himself. He is a…

If we have any interesting volunteer jobs come up, I will let you know. No obligation.
In the meantime, have you checked out our Resource Lending Library? You mention that you are looking for things to do with your son, they have all kinds of toys, and story and art time twice a month. The toys are the educational kind that children don't realize are educational. I know my children always got bored with their toys - with the library, you can get new ones every two weeks. They have everything from small puzzles to ride on toys.
I enjoyed reading your blog. It contains a lot of great information for parents. I am the Communications Manager at the Partnership for Children and we are always looking to meet more people who are passionate about making sure all children get the highest quality early childhood education. Are you interested in working with us on advocacy efforts or doing any volunteer work?
Or, just coming by to learn more about us and the services we provide? I know you have young children, and they are welcome to come with you - we are very family friendly.
