You are Marge from The Simpsons. You may not share Marge's blue bouffant, but you do share her animated style of mothering. Sometimes the pressures of maintaining a happy home may push you toward the edge, but at the end of the day, you believe in your children wholeheartedly, even when they're being rather, um, spirited.
You encourage your kids' creativity and individuality, whether that means watching them perform the saxophone or helping them raise exotic lizards. You may sometimes say things that sound like old-fashioned parenting clichés, but when it comes down to dealing with domestic disasters, you can be a pretty together, modern mama.
You were Marge, too, huh? HA HA! I think it was pretty accurate for us, don't you? Of course we did get the same parenting skills from the same mom! Love ya, Niki
I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, a mom to two wonderful teens, and a daughter of the King. My
current focus is on becoming a better homemaker and caretaker of my home and family. You'll usually find my nose
in a book and I am currently making my first quilt. I love making new friends and comments are always welcome!
I blog when I want to, have the time to do so or the inclination to share something! You'll have to check back often to see
when I update my blog because there is no set schedule for me to do so!
