I’ve been a stay-at-home mom since my oldest was born. That's been almost nine years. Sure, I’ve done some freelance writing and consulting, but I consider myself a full-time mom and wife. I breastfed for about 3 years between the two of my boys. I took them to play groups, preschool and after school activities. I will admit that when someone tells me I’m a good mom, my self-esteem goes up a little bit. Ok, a lot. I want to be a good great mom. I want my time spent with them to be well spent.  Read more >

Weekends around our house are two days of no planned activities. During the morning, we head to a park or the huz takes the boys out to throw the boomerangs while I pick up the evidence that people live in our house.  But, the boys’ most favorite thing to do on weekends is visit the local video game store, find a new game to conquer and they come home and play it together.I’m not so good at that. Benji told me he was sad Dad was gone because I don’t know anything about video games.  He added that I really stink at video games and that made him sad.   Read more >

http://twitter.com/CBSMom

I am Gwen, mother to two boys, Colby and Benji. I have been married to the US Army…I mean my husband, who is in the Army, for  11+ years.  I take my kids to school, try to make time for my exercising/coffee/laying on the couch trying not to chew my nails off, enjoy the escapades of other “normal” mothers , and have found that I am worth taking care of! I enjoy antiquing, old cookbooks, good wine and hiking. I hope to have a little of every part of my personality in this blog. I ramble and rant about anything and everything. I am not easily offended and love to have “those” kinds of conversations with anyone and everyone! Thanks for checking me out!
