Hello blogosphere......

I'm not quite sure why I have been possessed by the urge to start writing a blog. I really have no high level of expertise in anything that I do. I do a lot of things, but none of them as well as I would like.

First and foremost, I am a mom. Specifically a mom of two year old twins. I am also the wife of a great husband and on Monday we celebrate our seven year anniversary (no itch yet). I also work full time in the public relations field. I am also working on my masters degree. I am also involved in a rather demanding volunteer organization. On top of all of these things, my husband also works full time and is working on his master's degree as well. Our plates and cups runneth over.

I guess the main point of starting this blog is to "call out" the concept of work/life balance for the sham it is. Sure, women can have it all. But you are going to show up to most of life with peanut butter smeared all over your shirt. And when you are work, your mind will be on your life. And when you are spending time with your "life" you will be constantly be thinking about work.

If there is a balance, mine is broken, and I have a feeling there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way. So follow me as I share my experience with you.
