An Introduction

Hi, everyone!

I just wanted to take a few moments (paragraphs?) to introduce myself.   I can be, umm, wordy...so I'll try to keep this short.

My name's Carrie.

I'm a stay-at-home-mom of two kids - Jack (3) and Claire (8 months).  I'm in my mid-thirties (and, I admit it was kind of shocking to type that out - my mid-thirties...what!?!?).

I blog because I like to write, and also because I think it's important - it's amazing to go back and read through posts from a few years (or months!) ago and see how much things have (or have not!) changed.

Most of my random blog traffic comes from people who are looking for tutorials on how to make a burp cloth or a saddle pad - neither of which I am currently capable of making.  Not even *kind of* capable, actually.  So - if you are one of those people looking for such a tutorial - sorry!  This blog is named after what I felt like my entire life revolved around when it was created (basically, projectile bodily fluids from a little being) and my favorite hobby, ever (riding horses!).

I met my husband in Las Vegas when I was 21 (way back in 1999 - practically before technology, it seems), and a few years later we moved to Texas.

And by Texas, I mean out in the country - which was often awesome , except that we lived in a house that was (no joke!) infested with scorpions and brown recluse spiders (scorpions are very hostile and unpleasant...brown recluse spiders, luckily, are not).  I have pictures.  But I don't want to scare anyone away, soooo....click at your own risk!  And know that there's more where that came from.

I am a horse-lover through and through, and own a Connemara pony named Seamus.  Who I haven't ridden in four years.  But, I did recently get back in the saddle again.

Also?  I love cloth diapers, iced tea, books (real ones, with pages) and yoga.

I am very happy that you are here and I really hope that you'll stay!

Please introduce yourself, I would love to know more about you!  :)
