Pleased to meet you....

Hello, my name is Sarah and welcome to my brand-new blog!

I am a twenty-something mommy to two fantastic children, a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl. I am expecting our third child in only three weeks! We decided not to find out the sex, but I bet it's another girl. My husband is in the Air Force and we have been married for five years. After spending several years near Sacramento, we moved to Colorado Springs about a year and a half ago.

My blog name was chosen after my children's nicknames. When I was pregnant with my son, we referred to him as "the bun in the oven" and after he was born, the nickname "Bun" just stuck! When I was pregnant with my daughter, we obviously couldn't use "bun in the oven" anymore, so she became "Muffin." And our third is already known as "Biscuit." If we have a fourth? I'm not sure...maybe "cupcake" or "crumpet." Yes, I know crumpets aren't technically made in an oven, but oh well!

I am a stay-at-home mommy for now, but when my husband gets back from his deployment (and when Biscuit is at least a few months old) I would like to go back to college and further my education. I love homemaking--well, except for mopping the floors and scooping the kitty litter. I like to read, to cook, and to watch movies in bed. I am unnaturally obsessed with fancy bath-and-body products, anything vanilla-scented, Yankee candles and Williams-Sonoma. I love snow, buttered popcorn and sugar cookies. I'm a chronic list-maker. I admire anyone who is "crafty" and I'm desperately trying to learn to sew, scrapbook, paint, and make cute things for the house.

Welcome to the "blogosphere"! I just started mine last Feb. and am having fun with it. I am a 49-yr-old SAHM, mother to 3 girls, grandmother to 1 boy (so far!) ;) We have lived near Sacramento for almost 25 yrs (in the same house). I look forward to reading your blog. How exciting to have your husband back soon.....I'll keep that in prayer. God bless!

What a lovely blog. I just found you via Mrs. U. I, too, read all the old posts and am now inspired to get my sheets smelling great and dig out my scented candles. Thank you!

I found you last night via Mrs. U also and have read all your posts. I love your sense of humor, especially in "things your husband wishes he could tell you" or whatever the correct title is. I actually laughed outloud, which is unusual for me. (I won't tell you how many of the "don'ts" I've been doing for 21 years!)
