Mommy's Night Out

Once a month a fun diverse group of young women get together to chat and eat dinner...it's my Supper Club! I was invited by my dear friend Kara to join the "club" after I moved back to Greenville in May and have really enjoyed it. These wonderful women threw me a surprise baby shower at the June Supper Club and I only had met all of them once before! I went solo last night while Mimi and GrandPop watched little Maggie (they did a swell job). While it was nice to get out of the house for a bit, I was anxious to get back home and see my little darlin'. Melissa hosted the dinner last night and made a delicious Mexican feast! She's a phenomenal cook as she made fresh guacamole, salsa and cheese dip and fixed delicious chicken and vegetables on the grill. When I got home Maggie's birth announcements had come in the mail that day so keep an eye out as you should be receiving one via mail very soon!

I will be hosting the November Supper Club so any dinner ideas are welcome!!

It's the Little Things in Life...

Maggie has had quite the busy week. Early in the week she began responding to sounds and faces. We had quite the rousing game of Peek-a-Boo this afternoon! Also, this afternoon I set up Maggie's Rainforest inspired floor gym for a little "tummy time". Before I knew it she had rolled over on her back!! It's the little things in life that bring joy and I was quite proud of my little munchkin marking some developmental milestones this week. We then met GrandPop at Saturn of Greenville to make sure Maggie's car seat was in correct and a local Fox News cameraman and reporter showed up and filmed the Safety Team inspecting my car and also took some footage of Maggie. So keep your eye son the local Fox News because you might see us! More big news for Maggie...she will be making her first trip to Disney in December at the distinguished age of five months thanks to GrandPop and Mimi!

Meet Maggie

Well, here she is! This is my darling Maggie. (Feel free to ooh and aah :-) She was born on July 11, 2008 at 11:35pm. After a 10 day stay in the NICU I was thrilled to have her at home. We now fill our days with napping, playing with Charlie (the dog), singing, playing peek-a-boo, and meeting friends and family.

My First Blog..Yay!!

Hello All! Welcome to my blog...After seeing how much fun my sister-in-law was having blogging, I decided to jump on the bandwagon. I also want to use my blog as sort of an online baby book of my daily adventures with my daughter Maggie. Another inspiration for starting Adventures in Mommyhood was the blog of Storked!, a funny yet honest look into the life of a single mother. (The paper version of storked can be found in Glamour Magazine) As I journey into the world of single mommy-hood I look forward to adventures ahead and welcome you all to join me! Hope you enjoy the ride!
