About Me

  at 11/20/2010
Hello! My name is Samantha.



I live in Alaska with my husband who is an elementary school teacher, and my two boys who are just about 20 months apart. (19 months and 3 weeks, actually. Not like I was 5 days overdue with Joshua and counting down the days or anything....) For more information on how we needed up living in Alaska, visit my Alaska page.  I am mostly a "stay at home mom" but I also work 15-25 hours outside the home at a gym/fitness center.

This blog follows my life through parenting and living a healthy and active lifestyle. You'll find me blogging about the daily life of being a mama of two kids, the lifestyle of living in Alaska, (cold winters!) learning how to cook and bake more, making time for my own exercise and health, and everything else!

Thank you so much for being here!

You can find me on Facebook here.
