About Me

Did you know that my last name is pronounced Men-see??
Think:

Yep, I’m a Boy Mom!!! No, we are NOT trying for a girl. And, yes, I DO have my hands full….the two infamous questions that I am asked on a daily basis….and I’m NOT exaggerating ONE. SINGLE. BIT.
Slide16I am seriously so blessed! Just look at these three (plus my husband, Chris of 12 years and our dog, Hank)!! I think God picks special people to be Boy Moms. You have to be O.K. with touching slimy things, not worry too much about dirt and have a silly sense of humor, NOT be a germaphobe, be able to block out noise and be O.K. with your kids getting hurt…because that’s how they learn!

I have the BEST friends a person could EVER ask for!!!! I seriously have so many amazing people in my life. I have been friends with these girls for basically my whole life (some since grade school and some since High school) They are my rock. We’ve been through EVERYTHING together. They are like my family. I cannot put into words how important they are to me.

They love me so much that when I turned 30, they traveled all the way to Jamaica with me!!! When I turned 35, they all came with me on my birthday to get a tattoo!!! Who knows what 40 will bring!!!!! I can’t wait!! They turn getting older from being sad into some of the best memories of my life <3

These are my blog buddies. They are some of the most amazing ladies that I know!!!! They are all so dedicated, hard working, creative and inspiring!!! AND, yes!!! They are all just as nice, genuine and adorable in real life as they are on their blogs!!!! Any questions I have, they answer them. Anything I need, they share it. Any time anyone needs an idea, we collaborate. How lucky am I to call them my friends?!?
If you follow my blog, you know that I LOVE baseball!!! Specifically Cardinals baseball!! 🙂 It is also my MOST favorite unit to teach my Kinders!!! I was lucky enough to see the Cards win the Series in 2006 AND in 2011!!!
(Pics below: Finny in his “I poop on Cubs” diaper, my Mom and I at the 2011 World Series, my brother and I at the 2006 World Series, and a picture of me on TV when a player jumped on top of me to catch a ball-I LOVE my Mom’s horrified expression! LOL!!)

I LOVE 80s music…and throw in some 70s classic rock too!!! Turn on a little Journey, 38 Special or Poison and I will dance and sing all night long!! Yes, Sing really loud…but, not very well! Ha!!! Although, I was voted most music minded in High School and played the drums. LOL! Bet ya didn’t know that!

I’m slightly obsessed with Steve Perry…that voice!!!!!!!!

I’ve had a crush on Rod Stewart since I was 8 years old in 1988 when his album “Out of Order” came out!! Then, of course, my Mom shared all of his albums that she had from the 70’s with me and I fell even more in love . Ha!!

AND, another one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE bands, THE EAGLES!!! I got to see them in real life a few years back when they were in St. Louis!!! Mark that one of the bucket list!!!!!!!!!! I was THIS CLOSE to Don Henley!!!

I’m a country girl!! I’ve lived in the country my whole life. I can bait a hook, shoot a gun, field dress a deer…my Daddy taught me how to do it all. I grew up doing it. It’s pretty hard to gross me out.

I just LOVE this shirt. It’s just so perfect!!! Journey is my all-time favorite band and I just LOVE my small town so much!! Sadly, it has been in the news lately for it’s controversial High School mascot. 🙁

There you have it!! That’s pretty much everything you could ever want to know about me 🙂
