Who Am I?

Well, I am Karmen, of course!

Welcome to my blog! Chickie over at I Love You To Pieces is opening everyone up to introducing themselves so everyone can get to know us even better. Hop on over to her blog and check out the others participating....

Ok, so here goes my "more about me"...

I have brownish red hair and I so badly want to do something to it...but I am afraid since I have never done anything to it.

I have a new found love for Hummus.

I am a twin. Her name is Chickie (Kristen).

I like to decorate...and redecorate...and redecorate!

I enjoy blogging and reading blogs.

I don't like to be hot. I would love to move somewhere that never really exceeds 70 degrees.

I love a tomato sandwich. Yummy! I may have to go have one...maybe for lunch.

I have recently discovered the Reuben sandwich. Very good...very good!


Well, that's about all my excessively tired brain can think of. Go on over to Chickie's blog and participate.

Life as I know it...For the Moment at Least!

I'm K Mommy. I live in the south and will probably use "y'all" more than I should. (Sorry in advance.) I am a Stay-At-Home Mommy with a very active daughter to keep me entertained. When I do manage to find a few minutes I have a bazillion hobbies to keep me occupied (that's a whole other post). On occasion I find time to read and enjoy every second of it. (Notice I said "second"...I don't have too much time to read.) I am a Christian and love our church so much. I love knowing that He is always there and will love me no matter what! How awesome is that?

I am married to Hubby. We have been married for going on 5 years now...5 years in May as a matter of fact. I love him with all of my heart. He is my best friend and I am so grateful for him. He is such a wonderful husband and father. He is such a hard worker and provides solely for our family so that I can be able to stay at home with our daughter, Peanut.

Speaking of Peanut. She is our fabulously wonderful daughter. She is the light of our lives and we love her with every breath we have. She is cause for many a laugh around our house and more than our fair share of frustrations. She is stubborn and strong willed and yet she is loving, kind and is the sweetest child you will ever meet. She is witty and wise beyond her years at the ripe old age of 2! She is our blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty (and a monkey to boot)! She truly is a blessing from God.

I am really excited about this blog. I have big hopes and dreams for it. I want it to be a way for family and friends to keep up with our lives...a way to share the blessings God has given us...a place for me to write about what's important to me (even if only for that moment). Feel free to leave me comments. Introduce yourself, share your opinions and life experiences, or just stop in to say Hi!
