Welcome to our Blog

Just what I need another blog. I’m having a hard enough time keeping up with my others, but how do you refuse a teenager that wants to spend time with you and commits to total parental control. So needless to say, DD and I will by creating this blog together. Truthfully, she has developed a great writing voice which I look forward to seeing her develop further.
Dd is just entering the teenage years. She is 13 years old and will be posting an introduction of her own.

I am as my profile says a 30 something mother of two children. My husband and I have chosen to homeschool our children. We are in a bit of transition. My husband changed jobs in February and I left mine in April. DH has been working at his previous job for 18 years and I was there since I was old enough to see over the counter. It was my family’s business. Unfortunately, things change and we have to move on. In this case, we are going to have to literally move too. When my husband and I bought the house we live in now, we thought it would be our forever house, but now we are packing it up. I enjoy scrapbooking, reading, and travel. You can read more about me in my profile.

So along with this craziness, I am blogging. DD thought that this was a very interesting idea and wanted to join in. So we have worked together to create “A Cup of Tea with Mom and Me” (to see how we came up with the name – see C’s entry, “Naming Our Blog”). We will both be posting on the many mother / daughter activities, trials, and triumphs in our life. So that you can tell who posted what, we will sign our posts: C is DD and D is Dawn, me. Only my email will show, but I will happily forward appropriate emails to her.

We hope that you will take a few minutes and join us for a cup of tea.
