Who is this Evolving Mommy Person?

I am a stay-at-home-mom in the lovely state of Colorado. My beautiful two-year-old daughter Madeline is my heart. I have been married to Luke since 2005 and life is great. Luke is a computer nerd by day and a very talented, creative photographer by night so most pictures on Evolving Mommy and Evolving Mommy Reviews (at least the good ones) well be thanks to him. If you would like to see more of Luke's photo's or if you would like more information feel free to contact me.


I spend most of my days stopping Maddy from pulling every piece of clothing from her dresser, washing cloth diapers, feeding people, cleaning up the kitchen after feeding people, trying to figure out ways to save money, and working to find a balance between being a mommy and being an individual. I guess you could say that life is pretty normal around here.

I am by no means a perfect mom, wife, friend, or person for that matter. I would say it is accurate to call me a little anal; it would also be safe to call me an over-analyzer too. So if you are looking to read the thoughts of a "perfect mom who has it all figured out" I may not be your woman, but if you like a little dose of feeling like your life is pretty normal and you are not alone, than you are in the right place. It is my hope with the aid of Evolving Mommy to continue to grow and evolve as a person, to always strive to be a better mom tomorrow than I am today and to one day find the time to take a nap.

Here are 10 quick facts to get to know me:
1. I could eat cereal for every meal of the day.
2. Purple is my very least favorite color EVER. I am sorry to those of you that love it but for some reason I don't.
3. My husband and I planned our wedding in 6 weeks. No, I was not pregnant or facing deportation.
4. I am totally addicted to "Lost."
5. Tulips are my favorite flower.
6. My friends used to call me Martha Stewart, because I am so crafty...and anal.
7. I love to cook and bake. For some reason chopping is relaxing to me.
8. My house usually only gets dusted if Luke does it.
9. I love to read, I have a hard time finding time to do it though.
10. I function best after getting 9 hours of sleep. (which might explain a lot if you know that I am lucky to get 7 hours night)
