Getting Started!

     So, I have decided to start a blog. Everyone else seems to be doing it these days, so why not? I always enjoy reading them, so I figured I would give it a go. I am doing this mainly for myself, to keep up with what is going on in my crazy, busy life. And also for my kids when they are bigger. I want to keep up with the funny, amazing things they do, because it flies by so fast. One of these days the simple memories I write here will be the only way I remember something sweet that I try so hard to take a mental picture of in my brain.
    First, I will tell you a little about myself, and why I entitled my blog what I did. I am a 25-year-old (26 tomorrow, yikes!) mother of three. Emma is eight, Jackson is five, and Livia is about to be 18 months. I am a Licensed Vocational Nurse, but for the last 18 months, I have been blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. (I do not take this lightly as I know some women would give anything to be in my shoes!) I am currently trying to finish my pre-requirements up to go back to RN school. I also have a bows and accessories business on facebook, and I sell AdvoCare products (but more about those later!). I am married to an amazingly, awesome man, Jared, and have been for the last almost eight years in August! I know everyone says they are married to the best guy, but I truly am! He is funny, smart, adorable, and a great daddy. He just gets me, and we are always thinking the same thing without having to speak a word.
     Okay, so about the blog title. My life really is built upon happy "accidents". I was an unplanned baby, so an "accident". Thankfully my parents got married, and had me. Of course, or I wouldn't be here. Luckily, they are pretty great parents, and have always been supportive of me. Especially my mother, who has always been there, and sacrificed so much so we could have a good life. She is one of those mothers that ate the burnt toast every time, or went without new clothes so we could have them. She is my hero. Then, when I was 17 years old, I looked down and saw two pink lines. Those lines scared me to death, but my Emma has been the greatest thing that ever happened to me (of course my other two are great too, but she was my first, and changed my life forever). Another happy "accident" that worked out for the best! More on her later as well.
     Anyways, so that is kind of an intro about me, and how I came up with the name for my blog. I will write more later, and do a few back stories, but for now, the baby is awake from her nap, and calling my name! I will leave you with some pictures, so you can put faces with the names! =)

*Also, please ignore any grammatical errors, sorry about those! =)
