The Beginning

I have lately been debating on whether to start a new blog, since I have not been able to keep up with my other ones, but it seems to me that I have a lot to say and I want to say it. 
So my new blog (this one obviously) is called Poppyseeds Raspberries and Other Euphemisms of My Life.  (or Poppyseeds & Raspberries for short) It will be a comprehensive blog about anything and everything I feel like talking about. 
I will introduce myself first.  My name is Erin. I am married to the love of my life S.  We have two amazing and perfect kids, one boy who we will call Poppyseed (or P) and a little girl we will call Raspberry (or R). P will be two at the end of this month and R is four months old.
We live in West Virginia.
I own a small at home bakery business and do some graphic design work on the side.  My husband is in the process of getting back into school for his PhD and works in a menial job (against his will) at a local college. 
I am in the middle of getting my MA in Children's Literature.
We are both unpublished writers.  I wrote my first novel last November for NaNoWriMo (more on that later) and am working on some picture books and a few other projects.  S has written a few short stories and tries to get in some writing every night, a very daunting task with two kids under two. 
Thanks for reading.
