ABOUT ME

I'm MaineMommy, a 30-year-old mom who desperately seeks sanity through coffee.  I am a BBQ Chicken Nachos addict and thus a big Spanx supporter (pardon the pun). As a small business owner, military wife, domestic engineer, blogger, busy mom, small town fashionista, chauffeur and "Real Housewife of Penobscot County" (although not necessarily in that order), my daily life is hectic to say the least.

My husband, MaineDad, is an active duty Crew Chief in the Air National Guard. We have two little girls: MaineGirl (5 years) and MaineBaby (18 months), two dogs, a cat, five salt water snails, a starfish and too much laundry. (Yes, I killed the starfish...oops).

It is strangely humorous how a “good day” in my life is now defined as one that does not contain blood, puke, major contusions, fire or the need to perform the Heimlich Maneuver.

This blog is my version of reality. In my version, I can’t be bound by the requirement of complete accuracy. Having a “Mommy Moment” happens frequently and justifies a good laugh and eye roll.

I have come to embrace and love the "meanest mom in the whole wide world" title MaineGirl occasionally bestows upon me.  Yes, I know I actually am NOT the meanest mom in the whole wide world.  One day, MaineGirl will realize this too.  Until then, tough nuggets kiddos.  I love you too much not to be.  And...your welcome!

Hold on, buckle up, throw on some lip gloss and enjoy the ride.
