When I read Lindsey's beautiful entry on her awesome blog, I couldn't wait to start mine. She has a way with words, so simple yet very descriptive. Read hers here:

I am from an oversized chair that rocks precious babies to sleep, from Heinz ketchup and reality TV shows.
I am from the the loud music from Dad's stereo that makes up our own special soundtrack. I am from Mom's many books that I've browsed through many times.
I am from my beautiful girls and my love filled marriage.
I am from the roses as red as my lipstick on our wedding day.
I am from year round BBQ's and inside jokes, from Hardy and Burns and now Dickie.
I am from the friendly, fair and good natured.
I am from the support I've had and the lessons I've learned.
I am from karma and believing everything happens for a reason.
I’m from Cape Breton, fish chowder and too-strong cups of tea.
I am from photos on the walls, in albums and keepsake boxes that help me remember who and what is important.

D. Dogs: We had a few dogs growing up but the most memorable would have to be a lovable little Terrier mix named Jinx. Or Binker. Or the Binks. She answered to many names. Also we had a sweet half pug half weiner dog who met got sick and passed away at only 7 months. Poor little boy. His name was Jaxon. Or Jax. Or Jaxtopher. Or Baxter.

3 months later.
I am hands down the WORST blogger in the history of the world. 3 Months? What's my problem? I know what your thinking...."Sheena, don't be so hard on yourself. Afterall, you do work 2 jobs (presently 3 up until 2 months ago), have an 11.5 month old monster who doesn't sleep, a teenager who is involved in every sport possible, have a major renovation happening in your home, preparing for a trip across the country,etc." Ahem. Ok, I feel much better! Thanks!! :)
In all seriousness, I had every intention to keep writing here and there. Well, we can all see how that worked out!
Maybe to ease back into it I will use this post as a plea for help:
Someone, anyone PLEASE tell me how to make my baby sleep longer than 3 hour stretches.....I BEG you! And, let me stop you right there, if you suggest "Let her cry it out" I won't. We tried that. And failed. Miserably. We barely let her whimper. I CAN'T HELP IT! So, if you have any other ideas........
