Hello Blog-a-riffic World!

After much hemming and hawing (hawing? is that right?), I've decided to jump in and do it, so hey blogging world, here I am! 

I guess I'll start with a quick about me?  I'm a (current) stay-at-home mom of an adorable little peanut, my 9 month old named Chloe.  In my pre-mommy life, I was a special education teacher, and I will be again, I'm just not sure when. I have a wonderful husband who is working so I can stay home to raise our daughter. 

So for now, (during the weekdays of course) it's me and Chloe against the world. I have always been a pretty busy person...I enjoy being outdoors, cooking, reading, dancing, traveling, and being social, and these are all activities I hope to pass on to Chloe! I'm determined to continue not being a boring homebody just because we've started a family, and I want to raise Chloe to be a brave little explorer of the world around her, because it has so much to offer.  I haven't seen it all yet either, so here it starts (well, continues in blog form).....THE ADVENTURES WITH PEANUT!  I'm hoping to chronicle here our happenings during the week as a mommy/daughter duo, and our experiences as a family of three as well.  As well as keeping our loved ones up-to-date on our lives, I'd love to give other stay-at-home moms ideas of things to do, and maybe get some ideas in return!
