About Me
I’m Darcie. There are some things you should know about me.
I am:
married to my best friend. He’s a man who puts my needs ahead of his own (that is, assuming I’ve made my needs crystal clear), makes me laugh (daily), and can still get me all hot and bothered (sorry kids, TMI). On the flip side, he piddles. Drives. Me. Crazy.
a mother of four children, each one distinctly, inexplicably and beautifully different than the next.
a teen mom, sixteen years removed.
blessed with a daughter who has three number 21 chromosomes. Or, Down syndrome, in layman’s terms.
a writer. My family centered articles have been published in national magazines. I have two {as of yet unpublished} novels under my belt. And I’m featured in Wedding Cake for Breakfast 
I love:
God. I’ve let Him down countless times in countless ways, but I aim for todays that are better than my yesterdays.
Disney. I’m an inaugural member of the Disney World Moms Panel and fancy myself as a virtual fairy godmother. I see the world through pixie dusted glasses and sheepishly admit that nary a day goes by when Disney magic does not tint my life one way or another.
wine. Red, white, blush. Sparkling. Chilled. Fruity. Dry. You name it, I love it.
cupcakes. And mexican food. In quantities that leave my derriere begging for mercy.
honesty. I serve it up in brutal doses. Fair warning.
my family. But you probably figured as much, right?
I believe:
in censorship. For instance, reality shows containing the name of any American city, state or providence (um, hello Jersey Shores and/or The Real Housewives of fill-in-the-blank) should be outlawed.
in healthy living. That food is meant to be enjoyed, not pumped with fillers, chemicals and preservatives until it is not-so-magically transformed from food into a food byproduct.
in dinner. that families–of all shapes and sizes–should enjoy at least one home cooked meal together each and every day.
in miracles. That if you look closely enough you will see God–and His wonderous works–in the most mundane places when you least expect Him.
Okay, so there you have it. Knowing what you know about me now, do you think we can be friends? I hope so. Stop by often, m’kay? I’ll make cookies or something. We’ll have tea. Psst…if you still haven’t had enough, you can click HERE to read 100 things about me.
Oh yeah. Here’s the fine print stuff: I try to write here three or four times each week, barring travel, natural disasters and/or invading desert creatures. From time to time I do write reviews of products, services or places that make my heart go pitter patter. I’m lousy at returning email. But that doesn’t mean I don’t read and appreciate every single comment or message you send me.
