Here We Go

Hey there!  I'm Christina, and I suppose I've finally decided to start a blog (again).  Welcome!  In this little space I plan to share all the stuffs I've become passionate about over the years.  This especially includes baking, cooking, and all things crafty.  But on occasion I may throw in some info about healthy living, how to save money on groceries, and gardening - things I'm no expert in, but I'm slowly developing a passion for.

So a little about me...

My husband and I have been married for 8 years this February, and we've been together since we were 13 years old.  I know, basically FOREVER.  He is my very best friend, my other half, my partner in crime - we complete each other.  God sure blessed me with a wonderful man!

  
I'm also a mommy to two adorable little munchkins.  They are, in a word, crazy.  But they come by it easily - it's an inherited gene.  Addyson is 5 years old, and Liam is 2.  I love them so much my heart could pop!  They're my everything, and I can't even remember what life was like without them.
 
 
Mama Made Waffles is something totally inspired by my family.  I recently left my stressful desk job to be home with my little babes, but before that I tried my hardest to squeeze in little somethings special in what time I had with them.  One weekend morning I had made waffles for my little family, and my daughter was still snoozing away in bed.  My hubby went to wake her, but the girl was stubbornly clinging to her covers and refusing to get up.  From my place in the kitchen I heard him whispering to her, "Wake up sweetie.  Mama made waffles!"  That was enough to get that girl out of bed and bouncing in to the kitchen, and it's moments like that that I live for!  A little extra effort to wake up the sunshine in my sweet girl is totally worth it!
 
That's really what I've become passionate about - taking the every day, and adding a little something special.  This blog is my attempt to share with you ways to bring a little something special in to your everyday life.  I hope you enjoy what I have to share, and I hope you'll stick around!
 
 
 
And here are a couple of fun links for you!  One is for my old blog, that I started many moons ago and didn't keep active <smirk>, and the other is a link to my Etsy shop.
