Welcome to Mommyland

Since we’re starting a new year I thought it would be a good opportunity to reintroduce myself and welcome any new readers who happen to stop by. Hi, I’m Mychal. I’m mother to two hilarious, crazy, naughty, funny, infuriating, cute, sweet, adorable, not so little boys. I am also the wife to one of the most dedicated, hardworking men you’ll meet. We all live in our (almost) dream home on The Hill with our 17 pound cat Princess Nittany. Our home is 100% Apple-centric where all of our devices work together to make our life a little easier and a LOT more organized.

In my days before Mommyland I graduated from Penn State with a degree in Business (which is hanging over my desk). I spent over ten years working in retail, starting as a part time sales girl and leaving the wild world of retail as a Store Manager. I was very outgoing and enjoyed shopping, partying and singing karaoke.

Since entering the world of Mommyland I have become very shy in real life and because of that I have found that I thrive in the Social Media world. In addition to this blog I am also the founder of an online community called Wives of Turf. To break it down to it’s simplest form, we’re a support group for women whose husbands, boyfriends, fiancees or significant others work in the Turfgrass industry.

My boys are the reason I get out of bed in the morning…And sometimes the reason I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning.

Cameron will be eight this year and is so much like me that it’s scary. He’s lippy. He likes things his way. He gets frustrated easily. He cries when he’s mad. Basically he picked up all of my worst traits. Cameron is also very intelligent. He reads above grade level and is a math wiz. For a second grader he is very insightful and sometimes I look at him and wonder where he came from.

Logan is my little lover boy. He looks like me but I think that’s where the similarities end. Logan looks up to his big brother and wants to be just like him…bad behavior included. He is my cuddler who loves our cat and wakes up singing. I guess he is like me in the fact that he’s got a little naughty streak in him. Logan just turned five in November and is very excited to start Kindergarden in September.

That’s a little about me and my family. So what will you see here in Mommyland?

I write about whatever is going on in my life. You’ll see stories about my adventures raising two little boys, recipes, health & fitness, the occasional product review and just about everything in between.

I hope you’ll join me on this adventure as I stumble my way through life as a wife and mother.
