About Me

Hi! My name is Erin Burns and it's very nice to meet you.

I'm both honored and flattered that you've taken the time out of your busy day to get to know me and those I'm Bringing Up a little better.

I am living my dream.

I have a soft spot for Sapphire martinis.

I Google everything.

I have Ab Fab girlfriends.

I constantly have 5 projects in the works.

I bake.

I blog.

I garden.

I can't say no to fresh flowers.

(Or the beach.)

I have a love/hate relationship with Diet Coke.

I pound the pavement with my Nike+ Magic Shoes.

Running is my therapy.

I love being at home.

I'm hot for Teacher.

(He's also a football coach.)

A big piece of my heart is in Chicago. 

I don't like coffee, chocolate or peanut butter.

My mom says that's unAmerican.
I'm a bit of an insomniac.

I buy my blonde.

(But I didn't used to have to.)

I read. Like a fiend.

I sing Showtunes.

I spend way too much time on Pinterest.

I love Jesus Christ, Barack Obama, and Miley Cyrus.

(Yes, it's possible to love all 3. Yes, I am 36.)

I both found and lost myself the day my first born was laid in my arms.

My youngest, a boy called Munchie, has me double wrapped around his pinkie.

I'm wife to Mr. Burns (remember that teacher I was talking about?)

Together we are Co-CEOs of,

 Bringing Up Burns
a family owned business of raising happy kids!

I'm the maid,

laundress,
dolly dresser,

chef,

chauffeur,

accountant,

owie kisser,

personal shopper,

train track assembler and

occasionally the exotic dancer.

He's the bread winner,

anything electronic fixer/setter upper,

trash man,

dog walker,

lego engineer,

football coach,

and my secret weapon.

He's my best friend, my biggest cheerleader, and always puts us first.

He folds laundry and makes breakfast on the weekends! 

I think I'll keep him.

His Love is to me what spinach is to Popeye.

This blog is my forum to wax poetic about all of the above.

All with some pictures to make the ride fun.

I hope to display the joy my family and being a Wife and Mother bring to my life.

A life I fabulously love!

It's chaotic and often messy, but fun and SO fulfilling.

BUT Enough about me...Please leave a comment and tell me about you!
