Well, folks, here it is.  I have made my own blog.  My own little corner of the internet to share my world and my stories.  Squish and Squeaker dot com is born.

A little information for you, just in case you haven’t been following along in my adventures. My name is Koren.  I am a wife to a wonderful man, and mother to two wildly beautiful boys.  I am your average girl.  I like to stay home and watch movies and eat pizza.  I love photography and being outside.  I love to write and tell stories.  I like to make people smile and help whenever and wherever I can.  And I hope that in following along with me here, you can get to know me a little yourself.

This is my first post (obviously haha) and I am still learning how this all works.  Like everything in life, I’m winging it and making it up as I go. So bear with me, as this is a work in progress.  Which anyone who knows me, knows that this is absolutely killing me.  I am a perfectionist, a smidgeon OCD, and if I can’t do something perfectly, well I just plain don’t want to do it!  But I told myself, you have to start moving.  Just start typing.  It will all fall into place.  You are doing this for YOU!  If you happen to entertain, inspire, and make people happy along the way… that’s just a bonus.  A pretty awesome bonus.

What I mostly want to do here is share my life and my stories.  Whether its just my family and friends reading, or other moms out there, or anyone… I hope that I can reach you in some way.  I hope my stories make you laugh.  I hope they touch you in some way.  I hope that I can connect with you all, one way or another.  You may see a tutorial here and there if the boys and I do or make something fun or yummy that I think that someone will like or if I get a request.

Something I also hope to do periodically is something I am tentatively calling, “Meet the Mom”.  I know so many moms that have helped me along and inspired me to be a better mom.  And I would like to share some of their stories should they be willing.  Their strength and spirit are something that I feel like we could all benefit from.  And I am not limiting myself to moms.  Meet the Dad, Meet the Parents… aunt, grandma, brother… I just want to share stories that have inspired me to be a better parent, a better person.  These will more than likely be themed and could be in the form of a Q&A style interview, personal narrative, or I will just whip something up.  So stay tuned!

That is all for now folks!  I cannot wait to get going with this.  Wish me luck!
