Two Pretzels: about me

Updated 1/2012

My llamo Kylee. I live in Mexico, but I'm originally from Northwest Ohio.
I am mildly terrified of the ocean (ironic) and strongly prefer sleeping in my bed to almost anything.

I love to eat cake, cheese and mandarin oranges. I have never seen a single episode of the Jersey Shore and for that I'm proud.

I always wear sunscreen and have a passion for coke. (The drink, not the illegal substance.)

I own a pill organizer specifically for my vitamins and I think that breastfeeding is one of the coolest thing I've ever done.

I make it a point to rarely discuss politics -- but if Sarah Palin is elected president you can bet your [fill in the blank] that I won't be moving back to the States anytime soon.

I've been blogging since 2006 and I love it. It's my therapy. The only thing I'd rather do is sleep.

I have five siblings and I like to plant seeds but hate actually tending to them after they grow.

I also like to crochet (when I have time) and have the finest dog in all of Baja California Sur.

This is Ferg. She's a Havanese. She was born in 2007. She's awesome. She's getting top billing before the family because as a dog in our house with two children -- she usually gets the shaft.

She also likes to sometimes sit on the kitchen table. (???) Like a cat.

I've been with my best friend as a "we" since 1997. (Go ahead, do the math.) And, we've been married since 2003. He's cute. I refer to him as "C." throughout the blog because his name is Craig. (Secret's blown.) I wrote about him on our 8-year-anniversary (10.25.11) here.

There he is with our daughter Vivienne who is clearly much more interested in computing than photo-taking. (That's mama's girl.)

I'm a Mommy to two super-awesome little ladies. The eldest is Lila Ross. And the baby is Vivienne Kate. They're also, very, very cool.

Here's Lila. (Overjoyed with the "bubbies" at her second birthday party - June 2011).

Here's Vivienne when she was 11 months old. (Dec. 2011.) She was born in January of 2011.

I write about what interests me -- the content varies and sometimes (like during my pregnancies) revolves around one thing. It's my call. It's my blog.

When you read Two Pretzels expect to see posts about:

fashion (I write awards show recaps like nobody's business.)
food (I am always hungry and hate to cook. I know, rock and a hard place, right?)
easy recipes (See above.)
parenting (This includes, but is not limited to, baby product reviews, potty training woes, sleeping issues, sickness and overall stuff I never thought I'd write about.)
pop culture (There's a lot of crazy to cover. I'm happy to help.)
online shopping (I see no reason why everyone isn't an amazon prime member)

My goal has always been to make this a happy place... a place that's not too controversial but instead makes each and every reader sit back for a few minutes a day and perhaps smile.

Light and easy does it.

The world is our oyster, dear friends. I intend to be as happy as possible.

DISCLAIMER:

When I write about products, I'm never paid. I write about them because I either love 'em or hate 'em.
