{a boy momma.}

growing up with two sisters, and in a very girly family...

I don't think that I ever really thought that I'd one day find myself as the momma of two little boys.

and yet here we are. (photo taken last week while on an afternoon beach outting)

I'm a pro at playing legos.

I know the names of ALL the superheroes.  (seriously, just test me)

I watch dinosaur train on a regular basis, and toy story, and cars, and scooby doo for that matter (but can't tell you the last time that i saw a disney "princess" movie).

and i LOVE it.

:)

I made this layout about being a 'boy mom' last year for Creating Keepsakes (it was included in the June/July 2011 issue)...

...& was created almost entirely with the VERY perfect (for me!) Little Boy line from Echo Park.

Bright colors + fabulous fun "boy" prints (like this one!) = scrapbook heaven for me.  :)

& Looking at the photos on this page from last November, I can't believe how far we've come in less than a year since Eric snapped these pics.  Wow.

I hear you. Try my nascar or monster truck knowledge. I certainly never thought i'd have that! I bet you and I could recite Cars together. Here's to boy mamas! :)

I'm also a mom to two boys, though they are a bit younger; I look forward to playing with them both together and I find this post extremely encouraging!

This is so sweet :) Love the layout, and that airplane paper is super cute!

Hee, tell me about it! You, Me, Glue, Kelly N, Bridge...it's a calling, sister! ;) And one day (since you're Gator fans especially), you'll know all the names of football positions and the plays the boys make as well as how to get out just about any kind of stain from clothing imaginable ;) Yep. God knew what he was doing giving me all boys! lol

I too am a momma of all boys. I always look to you for layout inspiration because it seems like so much of the scraping products are girly. I love having boys and would not have it any other way!!!

As the mother of all boys myself, I can relate! It is a rare occasion that you would see any pink in my house. If I wear pink they all look at me like I'm an alien!?

I am a mommy to 2 little boys as well! I love your blog, everything is so pretty. I also LOVE the birthday cake y ou had for your 4 year old son (my oldest just turned 4 this July also :)

As a one of each momma :) I sometimes wish I had the experience of two boys or two girls and the connections that that has. I am from a one of each family and so is my husband so we don't know any other way! LOL

but my daughter...doesn't like princesses or tinkerbell, I was just informed of that the other day. and she loves red not pink. LOL

Love, Kristin
