My Sweet Bs Blog Meaning

Well, today is Day 2 of my 30 days of blogging and I thought that I would give you a little background information on me and my blog, and most importantly where the title for my blog came from.

So, I will admit that this isn't my first blog and I have never actually blogged consistently. However, I decided about a year ago that if I was going to get serious about putting myself out there that I wanted to make sure that I made a good choice for the name. I feel like at this point in my life that my family is my center and because of my kids ages, they tend to be the main focus of the family.

Now, each of my kids have nicknames, not necessarily similar to their names, but names that they have been given by myself or my husband (mostly my husband) that seem to have stuck. Somehow, not purposely, they all ended up starting with a "B".

So, without further ado, I will introduce you to the 3 "B's".

First, came our "buddy". He is 11 and the light of my life, the one that made me a mommy, the one that gets my first go at everything (and not always the best go), and the sweetest (and only) boy. He has struggled with so many things, but he keeps going, and loves things with a passion that I wish I had even an ounce of.

Second, is our "bean", she is 9 (going on 19). I will say that this rhymes with her first name and it would make a lot more sense when you say it together. I was so nervous when I found out that I was having a girl. Up until that point I had only had a boy and he liked trains and video games. I was never a "girlie girl", which made me even more nervous, but this girl has been a joy! She is smart, and self sufficient, and ambitious. She has definitely shown me what true love is, because let me tell you, she loves from the bottom of her toes to the tippy top of her head.

Last, is our "baby". Pretty self explanatory, right? Oh has she given us a run for our money. I knew she was going to be my last, and unlike my previous two, I was a full time stay at home mom. Boy did she get used to that. I even tried to put her in "daycare" one day a week at one point to try and "socialize" her, but that lasted about 3 weeks. She is a total homebody like her mama. Even now, at 5 she is so hard to get to go to anywhere, even when I have to pick the other two up or run to the store, it normally requires some kind of bribery.

My kids are my life and are a complete joy, so it was only fitting that my blog be named after them.

Current Photo & 5 Facts About Myself

So, I have decided to try 30 days of blogging, not including the weekends. I have felt a pull to tell my story lately and what a better way to do it, then to blog about it. 

So, for the first of my 30 days I chose to tell you a few things that you may not have know about me. 

1. I have a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology, but have never really used it in a professional capacity (several times in a non-professional manner though)
2. I never pictured myself having children before I met my husband, but now I couldn't imagine myself without all 3 of them
3. I'm pretty sure that I thrive on chaos
4. I have Alopecia Areota, which is a mild form of the Alopecia that you've probably heard about, but  mine fortunately usually will grow back and is only in small spots
5. I am a severe introvert...even on the internet

Lastly, I bet you would love to see a picture behind the 5 facts and the My Sweet Bs blog. Well, here it is...

No, but seriously here is what I look like in real life 

(as real as the YouCam Mobile app can make me look, without any real makeup on)

Just a lesson to not believe everything that you read...or see, on the internet. The 5 things about me are real, the first picture is real, the second picture is half real.
