Getting started

A blog. I've always thought about doing one but I never pushed myself to pull the trigger. I didn't know what I'd blog about. I still don't! It's going to be a little mix of everything, which is who I am. A wife, full time working new mom, lover of travel, books, fashion, makeup and pop culture and trashy tv. And food. Did I cover it all? Probably not. Let's begin...

Vacation. I'm starting with vacation. I am normally a very ambitious traveler. D and I have gone on some great and spontaneous trips. This is not the year. But D doesn't get it. He wants one of our "usual" trips. Mr. G will be 14 months old at the time of the trip. D knows that we will have to scale back our activities and slow down the pace. But he wants Europe or something like that. You know what I want? A week in Puerto Vallarta at an all-inclusive with some members of my family. Private beach, frosty alcoholic beverages, unlimited chips and guacamole, ocean view rooms and 85 degree weather. I want. D thinks this is the first sign that we'll never travel again. I'm serious. In the first year of our son's life, after being on bed rest for 10 weeks, a c-section, difficult start nursing, going back to a demanding job with a two hour commute, I want to relax. To D it's the first sign of me caving to mom jeans, a minivan and Disney cruises. ARGHHHHHHHHH! So the debate continues...
