My name is Mandee. I am 29, almost 6 months pregnant (will be 9 months pregnant on my 30th birthday...JOY JOY JOY hehehe) and I am a stay at home mom. I have a 7 year old daughter and 3 doggies :)
I do have a business I do on the side making dog blankets (I also make them as baby blankets) and other dog accessories. But I don't market that much so I really don't do much with it.

I'm Renee, a 26 year old mother of 3. My youngest is 11 months old and i'm due with #4 on September 7th. We're planning an at home waterbirth with a lay midwife. I'm super excited about it!
As for my job, i'm an ALACE trained birth / labor doula as well as a freelance web designer. I love what I do and couldn't imagine making a living any other way.
Hubby and I have 5 fur kids. 4 of them are yorkies, and one is a guinea pig. We love all of them to pieces.....even though it can be a lot to handle at times. Especially with all the kids we have lol.
Anywho, that's pretty much it. I'm an open book so if there's anything you wanna know, just ask,

LOL actually it's not to bad. Belive me there are days i wanna hide, or at the very least, sneak a shower. Not something i'm proud of but there have been NUMEROUS occasions where i don't get to shower for a whole week. Between laundry, cleaning, kids, girl scouts, baseball, pregnancy, work, etc.. and trying to maintain sanity, I find myself getting worn thing and passing out before I can shower. I cant do it in the morning cause the kids need me. During the day the baby needs me and I cant leave him alone. We'll bathe together but that makes it hard when trying to wash my hair. Then at night when everyone is in bed, I get my house clean and pass out on my clothes.
Ya know what though? I wouldn't change a thing. When I look back on my life I wont say "I wish I was able to shower more". Nope.. i'll say "we had some great times" :)

Aww, that's soo sweet. I must admit though, dispite how stressful it gets at times when I'm trying to do a million things at once, I still wouldn't change it.
I know what you mean about showers too... I tried to grap a quick one last week and accidently washed my hair in dog shampoo! I had a smooth shiney coat for a couple of days! :rolleyes2:
MY name is Danielle and I am 29, been with DH for a very long time and we have three children (9, 5 and 17 months). I live in Ottawa, Canada and cannot believe the weather here right now! LOL I do not think Mother Nature likes us very much!:p Oh and Renee is my peep! :)

I am Joede 34 will be 35 in a few months. I have 5 kiddos and just found out a week or so ago that we are expecting our 6th in December. We also got a new puppy this past weekend (joe joe) and we have a snake (snake).
I have been a SAHM for a little over a year now. I am loving it but somedays I do crave to be outside of this house and then I remembered the frustration of working with adults that acted like kids..so I much prefer to work around kids who act like kids LOL

I use a two-in-one shampoo/conditioner on them with black pearl extracts! My Yorkie wouldn't come near me for the day... I think she feared it was bath time!

Yeah that part kinda stinks. Makes it harder to say everything you wanna say. WIsh we could have pics in our siggies too. I'm sure we'll get used to it though. Most forums don't allow as much as idob does. We're just spoiled lol
Yes! LOL That we are I suppose! Hi Kristin! And Joede! :D

HI!!!!
I'm Katie a single mom to a very active 6month old. I say very active because he is always on the go, HE never slows down and fights sleep!!! LOL I wouldnt change anything about him though.
I fought colic for 4 months and WON!! Now I am trying cd's and if I could stop BUYING them I would probably have some spending money for me!
I am addicted to online shopping, just because I do nothing at work, I work in a cubical and stare out a window or shop all day.
Um thats me in small form :)

Hi my name is Beth. I am 32 turning 33 in August. I am a legal secretary at a large law firm and work full time there and full time at home. Been with hubby for 16 1/2 years and married for almost 9. We have three children Jade (turning 12), Amber (turning 9) and Ray (turning 4). We have Zoey (8 mo old yorkie), April (3 yo siamese kitty) and two gold fish.
I love to read, shop and hang out with my family and sisters. Taking life one day at a time and enjoying watching my children grow. They drive me bonkers but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am truly blessed.
