About Me

My name is Dawn Schnee and this is my blog. I have a toddler boy Alex, a hottie husband Scout, and two cats.

In my life before the titles of “wife” and “mommy” were added to my resume, I completed a Bachelors degree in Elementary/Early Childhood Education and a Masters degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. I worked for three years in the special education department of a ginormous suburban high school. In the course of seven weeks we had a baby, finished a school year, cleaned out my desk, packed up our house, moved cross country, bought a house and moved in. The first weekend in our house we crashed out on our bed in our new bedroom and read copies of the final Harry Potter book. Alex napped and played between us while we devoured the last of the book. We eventually started unpacking. I am not yet finished.

I started this blog as Alex Year One on March 29th, 2007. I was pregnant with Alex and wanted a way to keep track of his first year. Which was a good idea, since the sleep deprivation was so severe that I don’t remember much of it.

I stuck with the Alex Year Two / Kaiser Alex bit through till March 29th, 2009. I decided it was time to pull the reigns back from my little dictator and the process of rebranding this bad boy begins.

Ten things you might want to know about me to help you decide if you want to stick around

1. I’m gonna cuss. When I was in Kindergarten, I thought I invented the word, “fuck”. Realistically, it was probably my dad. I still remember sitting by my play kitchen feeling it roll off my tongue. Little has changed.

2. I love me some Jesus, but you won’t catch me waving my arms in the air. I believe we all have our paths to take and I will support yours if you will support mine. That’s how I roll.

3. I’m short and kinda round with the Biggest Bewbs in Blogdom. No really. Check the “my people” page, I won an award and everything.

4. My dad died on my first blogversary. Talk about a buzz kill. I talk about that. I talk about death. He was a funeral director, come feel the irony with me.

5. I forget to post. Probably because I get caught up in trying to keep up with the genius of my two bitchez over at the best new blog of 2009 – Room 704.

6. I absolutely suck at replying to comments. I used to be so great at it. See #4.

7. I absolutely suck at visiting/reading/commenting on other blogs. I used to be so great at it. See #5.

8. I absolutely understand if you don’t want to invest your time in learning to love the stuffin’ out of my blog. See #6 and #7.

9. In my mind I am Laura Ingalls Wilder with a Kate Spade bag and high heels. In my reality I am so not.

10. This is more my mommy/housekeeping/screwing my head on domestic blog. Room 704 is all about everything else. Which yes, may be more fun.
