I recently cracked open this lucky little fortune:
I couldn’t imagine what great surprise was in store until the very next day when I learned Mommyfriend had been chosen as Theta Mom Community’s (TMC) Featured Blogger! Pleasant surprise indeed! Breathe Mommy Friend, breathe!
The Theta Mom Community has introduced me to so many talented and inspiring bloggers and I am simply thrilled to be among those featured!
To all my new visitors reading this message in support of TMC, thank you!
Everything you ever wanted to know about me (and more) is in this blog, but the highlights can be found here:
I met my husband at a coffee shop and he ignored me
I have a big butt
I am afraid of infants
I’ve learned some lessons along the way
I have a spirited toddler named Little BooBoo
I fight Stage Mom tendencies
I am a badass mom
A great big thank you to Theta Mom and TMC for their support, my children for their endless inspiration and the 3 fortune cookies I ate until I found one with a fortune worth saving.
I am so excited to have my fellow TMC members here and proud to call each of you a Mommy Friend; welcome to our family! Kick off your shoes and stay awhile, I promise to be your hostess with the mostest *wink*.
