About SuburbanInk

I’m Stephanie.

I’m a woman, a Christian, a wife, a mother, and a pistol, in that order.

This blog is here as a place for me to talk. To you, to myself, to whoever it is that feels like reading. There’s lots of stuff swirling around in my head and if I don’t get it out here it might bump something important else out of my brain, like my address.

I should probably introduce a few people you’ll see featured regularly here.

Scott

He’s my knight in shining armor.

He’s the man of my dreams. He might not look like much to you but underneath that silly exterior is a superhero. He doesn’t always know what to say, he rarely knows exactly what to do but to me he’s as close to perfect as any man could ever be.

The Boy

He’s my joy.

Every day with him is this amazing gift. He’s the kindest, sweetest, smartest boy ever to walk this earth. He’s funny and playful and from the time he was a baby he’s been everything a Mama could hope from her boy.

The Baby

She’s a princess, with a pistol.

She’s strong and determined and yet delightful at the same time. Her favorite person in the entire world is her brother. She’ll laugh at all his jokes. She’s tough and tenacious. I know that when she grows up she’s going to be a lady who knows who she is, knows what she wants and knows how to love every minute of life.

The Dog

 

 

 

She won’t fetch

She won’t come when she’s called. She eats toilet paper and then poops icky white turds in my yard. She can’t ride in a car without throwing up and she chases squirrels. In other words she’s hardly a dog at all. She’s more like a mutant cat. But, she’s amazing with kids. She’s patient and affectionate no matter how many times they poke her in the eye. She also sits with me when I’m in the kitchen cooking. I know it’s just for the food, but she can catch anything I throw at her from a room away. Every time. For that, she gets to stay.

Me

 

 

 

I’m Steph. I used to be a videographer before my fiancee and I got pregnant. Oops. That oops became our boy and I became a stay at home Mom. Talk about a change. Suddenly my role as a person was redefined. I’ve been trying to figure it all out ever since. There are things I care about, feel passionate about, and some of them end up on this blog. I’ve got layers, and facets and while my job has changed my pursuit of discovering who I am in Christ and learning to embrace that and celebrate it is constant.

So, for now I live in Suburbia and while I’m here I’m going to try to repaint every mauve part of it a startling shade of red.
