Birthing A Blog...

So, living 600 miles apart (she in KY, I in KS), Marissa & I constantly joke that we should have walkie talkies, rather than cell phones. (Thank heaven for unlimited texts & minutes.) In addition to being sisters, Marissa & I have discovered a dear, priceless friendship...and that friendship has only grown deeper, since we have each taken on the title of "Mom." This new, high-ranking position carries with it tremendous responsibility, occasional stress & frequent laughter, among many other things. And no Mom can or should travel this journey alone. Marissa & I have blessed each other with countless phone calls, texts, e-mails and care packages and finally decided it was time to write it all down. Mostly, we have funny stories or witty ideas which have stemmed from our persistent, sleep-deprived states. But occasionally, we have a little wisdom to share, too.

And where did the name come from, Girls? Glad you asked. Marissa & I are both nursing moms (there's a story or two there, but you'll have to keep reading...). While preparing for a week-long Disney trip & cruise, in celebration of my in-laws' 50th Anniversary, my husband & I decided it would be best if we left our then 11 week-old daughter at home with my parents. However, being a breastfed baby, I realized having enough milk on hand would require a LOT more milk than I had stored in the freezer, up to that point. So, in honor of the nature of our trip and the Disney characters we would undoubtedly encounter, I dubbed myself Eliza's "Dairy Godmother." And out of that nickname springs (pardon the pun) the blog that Marissa & I have talked about for at least two years.

We don't have it all figured out & yes, perhaps we are a little bit crazy, but we hope that, in the very least, we will bring a smile to the faces of other moms. Moms who, like us, just need a little affirmation & encouragement to make it 'till naptime...or graduation. ;)

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned...

Blessings to you & your bunch,

Jayna, A Dairy Godmother

Your "Dairy Godmothers" have arrived

This is the first post for me. I'M A BLOGGER, well atleast trying this on for size. This technology thing is so new to me. I would say this is a dawn of a new day but I've seen too many dawns in the past two years. Between my sisters, mother and I, we have experienced too many funny moments not to share them with the world.

We joke about being "Dairy Godmothers" ... the lactating version of a fairy Godmother, only in yoga pants, no make up and hair less desirable.

Well WELCOME to our blog. May be bring a smile to your face, take all your time you should be using to shower, get dinner or clean and may be assure you that there are others like you out there. We're called your Dairy Godmothers!
