Welcome

I'm excited to start this new adventure of blogging! Please bear with me as I am still very new to this.

First of all I'd like to address the title of my blog, Not the Nanny. I had shared some past experiences I've had with some mommy friends of mine, and was given the title of my blog by Bre'onna of Bre Writes. In the past I have been asked several times if my children are mine, if I'm the nanny and/or where I adopted them from. As a mother of biracial children I never realized how narrow minded we are as a society that a white woman could have "mixed" children. I even find it more humorous that I'm asked these questions, when my children actually look a lot like me. The few occasions where I have been asked this, my husband has not been with me. I suppose had they seen the 6'4" black guy with me it may have been a little more obvious that they were our children. I also like the title of the blog for other reasons. I hate cooking and cleaning. My husband will be the first one to attest to that. While I'm not a slob by any means, I just don't love to do either thing. My family isn't starving, and I know how to call many local restaurants. Maybe I'd rather just support the local eateries than cook. It's a good excuse anyways. On occasion I do cook, and surprise myself that I can actually make something, although I prefer to bake over cooking any day!

I'm hoping through this blogging journey I will be able to document my adventures in mommy hood, Pinterest projects I attempt, recipes I "try" to make and anything else I may stumble upon along the way.
