New Addition

After years of going back and forth with Corbin about the pet issue, I've given him (both to him and way-too-logical self) and we will be adding a new member to the family. I will save the name announcement in case it changes, but our little girl fur-baby was born today.




















She and her three brothers are healthy, and mama is being watched in case she has one or two more. We can't wait until she joins us around the 4th of July. In the meantime, I am looking for cute dog bowls and other (nice, but inexpensive) items.

Welcome

Greetings!

Welcome to Life In the 314: Musings on Living in the Gateway to the West.

I am a thirty-something proud single mother to Corbin, a sweet and loving, yet strong-willed 9 year old. Much of my time is spent cheering him on at various sporting events, nagging him (Do your homework! Brush your teeth! Now really brush them this time!), worrying about him, etc. I am also a public relations and marketing professional, working to help
national and local clients navigate through all of the challenges facing companies (economic, consumer, media). In my spare time (whenever that is), I enjoy reading and discovering new spots in St. Louis. I am constantly trying to organize my home, but haven’t found the ongoing solution yet (although more space would help).

My life can be crazy and hectic, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
