About Me

Hi there!

My name is Tessa.  I'm a twenty-something (seriously, who counts after 21?) wife/mom/student/employee.  Life is busy, chaotic, surprising, and flat out amazing.  I started this blog to capture some of the awesomeness and of course craziness.  My spousal unit, aka hubby, is named Adam.

This is us:

He spends his days trying to make me happy and being an amazing Daddy.  He's pretty freaking wonderful.

Our family started a couple of years ago when we got our giant Great Dane that we named Swarley (can you tell we are fans of the show How I Met Your Mother?).

Here he is at our wedding:

Then on June 30th of 2013, our beautiful daughter Lyla came into the world.

Enjoy the adorableness:

So, this is my family!  I started this blog to record my journey through life while I settle into my new wife and mom roles.  Here are my interests and some pretty much guaranteed topics that you are going to find me talking about on here:

• Pinterest crafts that may or may not fail (I'm not crafty yet but I'm trying!)
• Adventures in new parenting
• My cooking/baking experiments
• Anything animal related
• Losing baby weight 
• Books because reading is awesome
• Holiday decorating
• More pinterest stuff - I'm addicted!
• How to be a better wife
• Possibly gardening if I can figure out how not to kill everything green

I hope you enjoy this blog and can in some way relate to my crazy, wonderful, chaotic, perfect life!
