I'm giving the blog thing a go...

Not sure if I'll like it but thought I would give it a try. Don't get me wrong, I love to read other people's blogs, I'm just terrible at journaling or keeping up with my son's baby book and this is quite similar. I do like the idea of having a place to write about whatever I want and keep up with old friends or possibly making new ones. This will probably be a very boring place just to warn anyone who decides to read it. I plan to mainly just write about my experiences with Mommyhood (which I'm am new to) and crafting. My two favorite things to talk about!

I had the joy of becoming a mommy three months ago today at 4:04pm to a beautiful boy Connor. He has been a wonderful baby and growing so fast! He loves to smile, giggle, and recently examine his hands so intently he will fall asleep. Oh and I do have a lovely hubby who I adore, too. We will be celebrating our first year of married bliss on St. Paddy's day.

Before I became a full time mommy I worked as a social worker. A job I both loved and hated! I got my Bachelor's of Social work in the summer of 2005 from good ole BSU. Moved to Southern Indiana in the summer of 2007 and for the most part like it here. Not sure if we will stay here forever but like it enough to stay for now.

In case anyone is wondering about the blog name...its kind of a long story but in short my husband lovingly nicknamed me hippie when we were dating (how I got that nickname is a long story). One day, a friend of ours wrote "Stay tuned for another exciting episode of Hippie and the Bean" on my myspace page (back when I kept one) referring to us ('the bean' I'm guessing refers to my husband's hairless head or as I call it bean) and I thought it was really funny.

Oh and in case you can't tell I have a tendency to ramble and switch subject matter whenever. I'm a bit scatterbrained at times but hubby convinces me that its an endearing quality.
