It is all Relevant

I REALLY  want to go to this:

But, alas, I am finding out about it a little too late.  This year's conference is in PA which means airline fare + conference ticket = big bucks.  Plus, I am still getting to know other moms in the blogging community and don't *quite* have confidence to go it alone without knowing at least a few who are attending (darn me for being an introvert!).  Perhaps next year..!

On another note, I am meeting a lot of cool mom bloggers out there, thanks to Blog Hop 2010.  There are so many fascinating people with so many fascinating hobbies and talents.  Aside from it sometimes making me feel like a complete underachiever (kidding...sort of), I am inspired on a daily basis to make being a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) the best adventure ever.  Yes, sometimes I would gladly trade my kids in for more intellectual conversations and people who actually pick up after themselves, but overall I know the blessing it is to be there for every boo-boo, every achievement, and every hug.  I truly wouldn't trade that for anything in the world...and here's a special shout-out to all SAHM's (even the ones out there who make me feel guilty if I take a 5-minute breather on the couch to eat a bon-bon):  You rock! :)
 

Blog Hop 2010

Thanks to Robin at Pensieve, we bloggers have a chance to network from the comfort of our home and make new blogging friends.  Fun!

So, about me and my blog...my name is Tami and I am a stay-at-home mom to 2 awesome kids:  Csaba (6), and Emersen (2).  My husband, Tom, owns his own home inspection business and we will celebrate our 5th anniversary this November.

Let me bullet-point the stuff I like to talk about on my blog: 


:: Adoption - we adopted our son from Hungary in Nov. '07 (which clarifies the fact that I have a 6yo son and have been married for 5 years, ahem).  I am passionate about orphans world-wide getting forever families! 

:: Photography - I love taking pictures even though I am a complete amateur!  I also fiddle and play around in photoshop to give face-lifts to my blog and photos. 

:: Cake Decorating - This is also a newly acquired skill that I am honing.  You can see my first fondant-covered creation here...but don't look too closely! :) 

:: My Kids - self-explanatory, but we do have interesting days around here! 

:: Christianity - I am a Christian who seeks to serve God with everything I have.  Sometimes I get on my soapbox about current events or just like to ruminate on goings-on, but it's usually tame and more for encouragement/insight.

That's it in a nutshell.  Thanks for reading and drop by anytime (and when you do so, please let me know by leaving a comment so I can visit your blog too)!
Happy blogging! :o)
