Hi! I’m Natalie, wife to The Mister, and super mom extraordinaire to E (and dog).
The Mister and I were both born and raised in southern NJ. We go down
the shore and not to the beach. That’s a very important piece of
information!
Oddly
enough we have lived about 10 miles apart our entire lives and never
met until our last year of college {The Mister’s last undergrad class to
be exact}. Actually that isn’t true, we have pin pointed a handful of
times that we were both in the same place at the same time, but never
realized until much later on in life. We both have undergraduate
degrees in physics, and The Mister has a super awesome Master’s degree
as well. I like to tell him he’s adorkable.
I
am a former analytical chemist; current corporate America pencil
pusher, and certified domestic failure. The Mister would make a
fabulous house wife; I on the other hand would not. So it’s probably
best that I remain tucked away in corporate America for now. Cleaning
and organize are not my fortes, but I’m a wiz with a mixer and some
frosting.
I am a lover of shoes, wine, bacon, and shiny objects. In my free time which is rare and fleeting these days I LOVE to take pictures of
everything. If you look around a little you will see an intense amount
of photographs of my daughter. I take so many pictures of her that she
now looks when she hears my lens focusing. It’s a small addiction, but
in the end I’m OK with that. All in all I enjoy blogging, pinning,
cheese, wine, and shoes. I can be found blogging most about everyday
life, and very little is off limits {you have been warned}.
The
Mister and I met in a class called Statistical Mechanics way back in
January of 2005. I decided that he was pretty to look at and that he
would be mine. Obviously I was successful. We became engaged in April
2007 and were married on June 6th, 2008. In August 2010 we found out that we would start on another new adventure together when we found out I was pregnant with E. She was born into our lives in April 1st, 2011. We will never be the same. This is also about the time that I lost all of my dignity.
I am a cloth diapering, baby food making,
please stop eating the table sort of mom. I have no parenting style
except to just wing it on the best and worst of days. Both The Mister
and I are doing our best to be the greatest parents to E. We’ve had
our ups and downs, but all in all I think everyone will be OK.
We also have the most amazing and beloved little dog EVER; Oscar.
He is our first baby and terribly spoiled. Almost two months after his
fifth birthday we found out that he has a liver issue. We are hoping
that through a diet change and medication we can still expect to have 5+
more good years with him. He is more then a pet in our household and
is an important member of our family.
Sadly on February 18th,
2012 we said good-bye to Oscar. He took a turn for the worst and we
knew it was for the best. We will one day get another dog for E, but
for now we are just missing our little furry monster.
I hope you come and visit, check out some posts, and enjoy a glass of wine with us!
