I am on a rampage - a de-luttering one, that is! Everything seems packed with STUFF. Some I want. Some I don't. Some I care about. Some I really, really DON'T.
It started with the pantry, then the cupboards, back to the pantry, upstairs to check on my boys, back down, stare at dishes in the sink, then the ones still not put away from the dishwasher...
Oh, right I was trying to minimize the distractions, wasn't I?
Better get back.

DOAD and ME
Death Race Weekend 2009
My Mommy Is...
- Mommy Is
- My Mommy Is... was inspired by conversations with my then 3 year old (B1) about going back to work after a year maternity leave with my second babe (B2). When my son said to me "I don't want you to be a Professor, I just want you to be my Mommy" I knew I needed to seriously consider how I was going to negotiate my work/family life. Years later, this interest has led me to research women's experiences of mothering and the ways in which their lives and identities are multidimensional - within and beyond motherhood. I still wonder how do my children see me and understand who I am (i.e. my mommy is...). What ability do they have to see beyond my motherhood? To what extent do I help/hinder them? I hope to encourage other Mommies, especially those with small children, to reflect upon our multidimensional identities through this blog.
