I've noticed (and by noticed, I mean I jumped for joy each time) that we've got a few new readers round these parts. And if there's something I love, it's new readers. So the first thing on my agenda today is to say hey. And welcome. And I love you. Wait, too soon? Ok, scratch that. I kinda like you. Consider this me rolling out my welcome mat and hanging my pineapple above my door, the international (or national, I dunno, I just made that up) sign for hospitality. Ok now we're acquainted.
That's Gabe. He's the star of this show. He's 14 months old. For the first year of his life, I dressed him up in costume every month. I told myself I would stop, even though it was hilarious and addicting, but it was also a pain in the keister. So I stopped. We're reduced to taking regular pictures.
I quit my 9 to 5 when he was born to stay home. I got bored so I recently launched an event planning business. It's pretty awesome.
I'm married to John, who wins best blog husband...voted by me. In fact, the moment you hit follow, he probably sent me a text to make sure I knew. Nerds. Anyway, I am a big fan of running an awesome home. Cooking, cleaning, keeping shizz organized, all that. I keep my hot glue gun plugged in and a supply of bakers twine on hand at all times. I love boozing it up with hilarious people and laughing until no sound comes out.
So now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
And there comes a time in every blogger's life where she opens it up to the crowd. Do you guys have any questions you're dying to ask? Like how well can I parallel park? Like what kind of flat iron I use? Like how bad do I have it for Mark Wahlberg? No? You don't care about any of those? Ask me something...anything, so I don't look like a moron here. Thanks dudes.
awesomely, Chi, real bad

Congrats on the new business adventure! I wish I could figure out something to do from home... some of my ideas out of boredom have been pretty cRaZy.
PS mmm Mark Wahlberg.
Dude, I'm preeeetty sure that the pineapple means "wealth". The minimum wage paid worker in the gift shop said so. Also, FA does not stand for Farmer's Almanac (though it should), it stands for fireman's association. I learned that at a mass murderer's home, which incidentally, she only rented.
I love you Shannon! Even tho I have been following you for quite some time, I think I learned some new awesome things about you...first up Mark Wahlberg (yummm) secondly, (just so that you know and kinda on a serious note...) This whole stay at home with a toddler thing gets to me some times and the fact that you run a awesome home inspires me each day to enjoy my time with my daughter, do what I love in the home and to laugh often. Thank you mama!
I had to Google bakers twine. Housekeeping fail.
That is such a adorable photo of Gabe!
I didnt know I had competition for Mark Walhberg.
Yay new followers! Can I take some of the credit since I've been telling my mommy group about your blog forever, and insisting they check out your monthly pics of Gabe? ;) I don't have a question yet, but a request...please, please answer your questions via a vlog!
I'm terrible about finding the time to come out of my reader and say something, but I think you are hilarious, Gabe is adorable and make the cutest party stuff! I hope your new company is going well! :)
+1 for John
It's good to meet you Shannon. That John sounds like a keeper. ;)
I was totally over Marky Mark until I saw The Fighter - then I found liking him all over again.
Mmm Mark Wahlberg. Also, Donnie Wahlberg. He is equally delicious, if you ask me.
awww... we love you too!
and yes, i''m speaking for everyone when i say that!
love your blog and your ability to run an awesome home as I am lacking in this area. HAve you ever considered becoming a Sisterwife? ;)
Gabe looks so grown up in that picture!
I'm relatively new, having been reading for maybe two months. And all I know is, if you're a red-blooded woman, then you must have it BAAAAAAAD for Mark Wahlburg. Because, don't we all?
