Aren't you so excited??

My Dad came up with my nickname, Schnook, when I was a little girl. There are only a few people, my Dad included, that still call me by my nickname. I love that he calls me "Schnook" - I find it endearing and sweet.

That being said, I really *am* a sweet girl. Though most of the time, my sarcastic humor and blunt outlook on life are what people have come to love about me. At least, I hope...

I keep another blog (shannonjoyhealy.blogspot.com).

I started this blog when I was 20 weeks pregnant with the love of my life, Harper James Jakobson Healy. The blog has continued, documenting Harper's growth and 10 months of life.

I love this blog.

I love having a record of pictures, videos and stories about this sweet boy. I love that people can get updates of our "Doodle" and feel connected from near and afar.

Well, I decided to start another blog.

(Aren't you excited?)

An online journal of sorts. A place for me to divulge all my deepest secrets.

(Kidding. Sorry.)

A place for me to get all these crazy thoughts into writing. For the whole world wide web to read. Is this crazy? Probably. But then again, if the shoe fits....

Basically, what I'm trying to say is -

Although I truly feel like I was put on this Earth to be a Mother...a mama bear is not all that I am.

I am a comedian.
A partner.
A sister.
A daughter.
A lover.
A liberal.
A crafter.
A baker and chef.
A realist.
A member of A.A.
A friend.
A homemaker.
A tomboy.
A photographer.
A fighter.
A pacifist.
A believer.

So, here it goes. My outlook on life, and my experiences during this journey on Earth...
