All About Me

There is probably an article out there with guidelines and suggestions on choosing a title for your blog.  Except I didn’t read them.  I just thought what do I do?  Well I raise two children and a whole lot of everything else (right moms??).  In addition to being moms we’re wives, employees, friends, daughters, daughter-in-laws, sisters, and sister-in-laws. We have hobbies that may include everything from playing sports to writing (maybe a blog!).  We love spending time with our families but also enjoy those few moments of quiet we can sometimes steal away.   Hence the name, Raising Two and Everything Else I Do. 

I’ve been married for 6 years to Dean.  We have two children, a daughter, 3 years old (going on 16).  And a 9 month old son.  I work in public relations and promotion for a local waste management facility. I absolutely mean it when I say I love my job.  I try to incorporate the 4R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Re-purpose) in my everyday life.   I'm far from perfect when it comes to this but as a family we try pretty hard (someday I'll write a post on the huge party we threw one summer and only had one small bag of garbage, I was pretty proud of that feat!).  Right now I’m on maternity leave. 

We live on a hobby beef farm in the Ottawa Valley.  I have a new found love for crafting because of my addiction to Pinterest.  If you’re a Pinterest lover than you’ll probably enjoy my posts.  

I also enjoy reading and you’ll see posts about the book club I belong too.  I love our Canadian Maritime Provinces as I was born and raised in Nova Scotia.  My decorating style would be described as primitive/rustic-I love anything re-purposed.  I love my family and friends dearly. 

With all that being said, hopefully I’ll be able to use what I just described above to create a few interesting posts that you'll enjoy reading.

Thanks for following along and have a safe and fun-filled weekend.
