Raising Arizona…Cute movie, somewhat humorous, not amazing. But when my husband and I watched it only a few weeks after getting married, one little piece of it was branded into our young, impressionable minds. The Family Unit. We immediately claimed it! This is a blog about Our Family Unit and whatever adventures (or mundane tasks) we may embark on.

My husband, Kyle, of 9 years, is a producer in the video gaming industry, currently making Tomb Raider.  I could write paragraphs explaining what he does but I’m pretty sure the in-laws still don’t understand it. He’s tall, hilarious, supportive and lets me go off on tangents. Life is good when you marry your best friend. I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom hoping to have a “Mary Spririt”, a June Cleaver home, and as much common sense and creativity as my mom has. I was an accountant for seven years and still work a little out of my home as a CPA but have MUCH more fun being a wife and mother. We have a 3 1/2 year old boy, Kade, and a 1 year old girl, Berlin.  They are both such joyful miracles, and I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than be their mom.  At heart, I am still a farm girl and one of my goals is to give our kids a taste of the country life while living in the city.

I love cooking, flea markets, the 1950′s, crafting, Excel, coffee, bargains, aprons and hot baths. I’m learning to love sewing, gardening, refinishing furniture, and homeschooling. I will never love coconut or waking up before 8 AM. I hope you find something here that inspires you and makes you smile. I’d love to hear from you – ourfamilyunit@gmail.com.
