Zen-Mother

This is a my first official blog post. It feels so monumental that I am even a bit scared writing it. Wish I could start with the second post. I will start out by introducing myself and my family so here goes….This all about the Zen-Mother, Fumble Rocko, the Hunky Trucker, and the Little Princess.

My name is Tiffany, aka mom. I am in my late twenties and I have two online businesses that keep me busy - that and my two kids of course. I worked in corporate marketing and public relations for several years before I decided to quit and pursue cloth diapers. Hmmm…. that even sounds crazy writing it out. No I didn’t have a mental breakdown, I decided to carve out a more zen-like niche in the world, for me and my own, and I think I have started down the right path. I am less stressed, more peaceful, and spending more time with my children.

I have been married for almost 8 years to my hubby Jarod. He is a truck driver/trainer for Werner Enterprises. He trains students to drive 18-Wheelers and his job takes him to 48 states and Canada on a regular basis. Thank goodness for cell phones and family and friends plans through Verizon because we burn up the newtork.

We have a 4 year old son named Payton. Just this week though he has informed me that he changed his name to Fumble Rocko. How can I argue with this individuality? Fumble Rocko it is, until he tells me otherwise Anyway, Mr. Rocko is quite a handful. Terms like hyperactive just don’t cover it. He also knows how to push my buttons like no ther man on this planet. This morning he exercised every fiber of “calmness” I had by pouring my VERY expensive mail order skin care products down the sink….to clean it. Last week it was coffee on the laptop. This boy keeps me hopping.

On the flip side of the coin is my daughter Paige. She is a cool, calm little girl of 1 year. Paige is a little princess that loves dresses, Barbie dolls, and shoes (yes already). She has a favorite pair of pink strappy sandals that she can’t go anywhere without. They even have a tiny little heel! She reminds me of Carrie from Sex in the City and her love of all things Manolo. She does NOT take after me in this regard. I can barely be concerned with making sure my shoes match. I have 4-5 pairs of flip-flops and that is the exent of my shoe collection. But wait…some have stripes, and some have beads, and some light up when you step! So I am not as dreadfully boring as I may sound…really I am not.

We all live in Phoenix, Arizona but I hope to move somewhere (anywhere) else very soon. Mother nature kicks my butt here with her 115 degree summer temperatures. And summer lasts 9 months a year in Phoenix despite the fact that other states actually have things called seasons. I love traveling because it gives me opportunity to leave Arizona and search for the place that will feel like home. I am planning a cross country driving trip now.

Well, that’s my intro and my first post. I am glad that is over…wiping sweat off brow.

Take Care,

Zen Mother
