Hello, I’m Joanna. I’m a stay at home Mom after selling (legal) drugs for five years. Originally from Florida, went to the University of Florida and am a HUGE Florida Gator fan (hence the name of the blog). I moved to New England in 2005 for my dream job, met my husband {BC Man}, got married in 2007 and had our son {the Binkster, named for his Binky addict} in December 2009.

Life is great and I’m blessed with fantastic family & friends. Being a Mom is even better than I ever could have dreamed. I never imagined that I, a former sorority girl, would have turned crunchy by being a mother, but here I am almost two years into motherhood and breastfed for a full year & cloth diapered, all of which I swore up and down would never happen so I guess you could call me a “crunchy-preppy.” My son’s birth was pretty crazy and  you can read all about it here.

2011 has brought our family many exciting new adventures, the biggest one is that we had our second baby in October (a GIRL!) ! We also sold our townhouse and built a new home. Within two weeks we moved and had a new baby, making us a family of four with two under two. Last, but not least, is that I’m now a contributing writer to a new web site called A Mom Knows Best.

I’d be remiss to not mention our dog, Rex. He is a Yorkie, but is of the GIANT variety. As in, almost 17 lbs (he gained 2 pounds since Jackson has been eating solids).  Don’t buy dogs off the Internet. In all seriousness, he is a good dog and is already turning into a toddler’s best pal. I lost my best friend, Lambchop, a month after my son was born. You can read about her in this post.

I’m always trying to be a better mother, wife, friend and now, blogger. I love to play tennis, take too many pictures, tweet too much and drink an excessive amount of diet coke.  I like to write about  motherhood, life, photography & Rhode Island; but this seems to change often too. So basically, you never know what you’re going to get here!
