It’s A Blog Party!

This is my first time to participate in the Ultimate Blog Party from 5 Minutes for Mom, and I’m excited to meet lots of people and have some fun!

I’m Superchikk, a Stay-at-Home-Mom who doesn’t always stay at home as much as I’d like. My husband is a minister, and we’ve been married 11 1/2 years. We have one son, Caedmon, who is 2 1/2, and a Boston Terrier, Oz.

Most of what I talk about here is just life. Life with a 2 year-old. Life as a Mom. Life as someone who gets every last nerve stepped on once in a while. Life as someone who has some spectacular opinions and thinks everyone should get the opportunity to read them. For more about me, you can go here.

I believe in being real. None of that “life’s a barrel of monkeys” junk, unless of course, it actually is and then you’ll hear all about it, down to the very last detail.

Oh, and just to be clear, I don’t use real names on my blog, except for Caedmon’s. (You can see everyone’s “secret identities” here.) As Truvy would say, there’s a story there. (I also reference a lot of movies and TV shows. My family speaks in movie quotes, so it just sort of comes natural.)

*Editetd to add* Caedmon was born with a Port Wine Stain birthmark on his face. If you'd like to learn more about those or know someone with one, I'd love to talk with you about it. You can read more about our journey here or at the "Our Birthmark Story" button the sidebar.

This is the latest photo I have of the three of us together. It was taken Easter Sunday morning in the broadcast studio where Husband works on Sunday mornings. So if it looks like we’re in a dark cave, it’s because we are.

(Also, my self-portrait aiming skills were not so hot that day.)

I dabble in photography a bit – mostly to save money for myself and my family. I would really love to have a DSLR camera, and hope to one day own one. But for now, I make do with my Sony Cybershot and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.

Here are a few recent shots of Caedmon at my sister Trump’s “farm”.

I enjoy spreading comment love to other blogs, and enjoy hearing from my readers. You can subscribe in a reader or via email if you’d like, or find me on Twitter @Superchikk. Come again sometime and we’ll have some fun!

There are so many prizes to be won just for participating in the Blog Party. Some I would love to win are: US19, US23, US31, US32, US37, US39, and US49. They are all things I could use for myself or my son. There are so many to chose from, I couldn’t even go through the entire list. But anything that I could use to entertain my boy, contribute to my family, or help me relax would be welcomed.
