The Bit

#blogtunes What Do You Think About That- Montgomery Gentry Sideways- Dierks Bently Frontline- Pillar If You could Only See- Tonic Hero- Skillet The Way You Make Me Feel- Michael Jackson   So, before we get too far along into this topic, let me just say a little something about my #blogtunes.  I love music.  Of every kind.  And music sometimes help me write, so whatever it is I am listening to while writing for you or editing, I'd like to share.  Maybe you'll find something you like, something new to listen to; maybe it will give you some insight to who is writing this blog.  Either way, love it, hate it; the #blogtunes are here to stay.   Alright, so you want to be a stay-at-home parent or you already are, how funny, me too.  Let me start by saying, I was not always a stay-at-home Mom.  (Gasp!)  I know.  And trust me when I say, if someone would have told me I would be at home when I got pregnant, I would have promptly told them where to shove it.   I had absolut
