Allow me to introduce myself...

First of all, let me welcome you to my new blog! You must have stumbled across me somehow, or perhaps you're a dear friend that's been coerced into checking out the digs here because I threatened you with a front porch full of zucchini! Either way, I'm glad you stopped by!

I should explain to you now why I chose the name "Mrs. Mommy Sunshine". Now, the first two words are kinda obvious. :) I've been married for ten years, and I'm a Mom - but the Sunshine part is how I see myself. I've never been one of those moms who whip out their kids' pictures at every passerby in the grocery store (although, I've been guilty of doing it in the gas station), and I like to think that I've kept my individuality, while at the same time being the bestest Mommy I could possibly be. "Sunshine" is what I call my happiness and spirited nature. I try to take as many opportunities as I can to let my inner sunshine reach out to the lives of others, and hopefully touch them with the warmth from a sun's rays. Yeah, I actually just said that. Yeah, I know it sounds corny. Yeah.... well, I'm not ashamed of it, either. And ya know what else? I have taken great care in the hopes that my son shoots out those same rays of happiness. (mwahahahaha - now there's two of us)

Wanna see a pic? (okay, make that gas stations and blogs)



Mommy Sunshine and Boogie. :) Yeah, I call him "Boogie" and I assure you he not only answers to the name, but actually likes it. One day he'll realize that it's short for "Booger", and may not like it as well. Please don't tell him - I don't have any other nicknames on reserve! This picture was taken on Mother's Day this past spring, in his classroom. Notice the beautiful tissue paper flower that I'm holding? I shall share the creative process for that big ole bunch o' cuteness in the future!

Anywho, I've noticed in my web-travels that there are a whole lotta sites out there that you can find during sporadic googling, that have oodles of ideas for fun parent/child activities, or ideas for Room Mothering, and I thought I'd share some of my personal experiences with these creations and ideas. I'd absolutely love if you felt the need to share your opinions, experiences, and questions with everyone by posting a comment... so feel free to do so at any time!
