Attempting to be a Super Mom

Good morning!  I love doing tags like this because I feel that the best way to get to know someone is by asking questions and hearing their answers.  Hopefully this lets you know more about me, especially since some of these questions are a little different than the usual. 1// Are you named after anyone?   I know that Elizabeth is a family name, but I don't know that I was named after anyone specifically.  My middle name Jane though is after my grandma (my mom's mom), Mary Jane.  Since my maiden name was Kerr, it was a running joke that if I had been a boy my name would have been Joseph... making me Joe Kerr. Going through my baby book, I found cards from my baby shower addressed to baby Faye... yup, Faye Kerr.  So witty, my family. Thank goodness they didn't do that, and I didn't marry someone with a last name that made my name seem so unfortunate, like my dad's mom, who married into the Kerr family and became Patty Mae Kerr. 2// When was the las...

Today, I start the last year of my 20s.  In honor of today I'm going to post a couple of fun pictures of me growing up. Here's to the big 29!

I've done a couple of these posts in the past, but haven't done a post about me in 2 years.  I'm constantly changing so I figured it was time to do an update. Here's my old posts:  Maybe You Think I Am Who I'm Not  and  The ABCs Of Liz . I have a husband and three kids.  They are my world. I'm newly a Catholic. I'm very easy to get along with.  I have a little social awkwardness and am a little shy at first, but after people get to know me, they usually like me.  I try to always give others the benefit of the doubt, or see both sides of a fight. Don't make assumptions about me because of my religion.  I'm very eclectic and quite liberal. I don't usually talk politics with people although I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions, because many people cannot stay civil.  You're not going to change my mind, just as I'm not going to change yours. I'm a larger woman, and while I'm not thrilled with my size, I...

Rylie Jane Tiemann Rylie was born on February 14, 2012 and is 3 1/2 months old. She's a super cuddly and laid back baby. She's always happy and smiling. Her favorite toys are her stuffed lamb and her rattle baby doll. She loves her ninny. Her favorite food is "booby milk" like the kids call it. She loves to sit outside and enjoy the sun and sometimes even to get into the pool. She can roll over from her tummy to her back and is now starting to be able to roll from back to tummy.  She scoots around on the floor.  Not army crawling yet, but she will be soon, probably. She's quite the little talker also. I just love my little snuggle buggle.

Sydney Ann Tiemann Sydney was born on March 9, 2010 and she's 2 years old. She is so sweet and funny.  If you cry, it will send a happy girl in to a hysterically crying mess.  She's notorious for her favorite knock knock joke. Knock Knock Who's there? Cat poop!  Hahahaha! She has her own sense of style.  She tells you what she wants to wear, how she wants her hair done, and that she has to have make up on.  Yes, somehow I created a monster. Her favorite books are Pinkalicious, Little Bird Biddle Bird and anything Princess. She doesn't like a lot of TV, but she does watch a little: My Little Pony Doc McStuffins As for movies she likes: Lady and the Tramp Tangled Anything Disney Princess LaLaLoopsy Rio She also likes my movies and TV shows as well. Her favorite songs right now are anything by Justin Bieber, Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson, and Stronger by Kelly Clarkson.  I laugh ...
