Get to know my family!

I'm Aimee, but around my house I'm better known as "Mommy"! The ones who call me that are known as my "Fantastic Four." The four includes my oldest daughter, Boo, who came into my life on December 15, 2001. My only boy is Bubba. He graced my life on November 29, 2003, 23 months, 2 weeks, and 4 minutes after his older sister. The "little girls" are my daughters, Princess Pea, and Ladybug. Princess made her way into the world just 8 months after my husband and I were married, October 12, 2005. Ladybug greeted us 3 years and 5 months later on March 21, 2003.
My husband and I have been together for 7 years come January 29th and married for 6 of those 7 years on February 12th. That man in my best friend, my biggest fan and my best critic.
Our family also includes 2 dogs- a 4 year old lab named Titus and a 6 month old chihuahua named Hurley, 5 sugar gliders- Samson, Deliah, Niobi, Ruth and Amos, and 5 cats- 4 year old, Alice, 1 year old, Rosalie, 1 year old, Bella and a litter of 5 week old kittens- Gaia, Octavian, Brutus, Verenus, and Fiona.
I started cooking for my 5 younger sibs when I was in my early teens. I never really fixed anything too big or over the top, usually just the "normal" things like spaghetti, chicken and dumplings- the easy stuff. ;D Once my husband and I were married I began to cook all the time. With each passing month the dinners that I fixed got a little more "dramatic" and now I'm fixing the fancier stuff, like chicken cacciaotore. That one has become a family favorite! :) Once I stopped working in 2007, I decided that a menu was in order to help keep me sane and to keep the "What's for dinner?" question at bay. Now once a month my husband and I sit down, write out a menu and gather up recipes for the month ahead. In October of 2010 my husband got the bright idea that I should add a blog into my already crazy schedule. I couldn't resist! So here I am! I'm here to share recipes and our menu each month to all of you, in hopes that I can help a busy mom, much like myself!
This blog will include our month menus and tips to help you create one at home. There will also be "recipes" for some (maybe all of our dinners). I'm really excited and am hoping you are too! :D
