My name is Jennifer, but I usually go by "RockerMom". I have been married to my wonderful husband, RockerDad, for nearly 6 years. We live in the ridiculously hot and wiltingly humid Southeastern U.S.
I'm a second-generation "Boy Mom". My mother had 5 sons in 7.5 years (I came later). She loved being a boy mom, and I'm loving it, too!!
I have an amazing 10 year old stepson, Tyler, who lives with his Mother most of the time. He loves anything involving action, sports, trying new foods (the more bizarre or disgusting, the better) and is one of the best big brothers I've ever seen.
Tyler has been enjoying the Percy Jackson books. I'd guess these are for about 9-12 year olds (but I liked them, too...lol).
Robbie, my 4 year old, is the main focus of this blog. He loves all things Mario Bros. and has an amazing imagination. He can make me smile faster than anyone I've ever met before.
Robbie loves his NIrV Bible Storybook as well as his Beginner's Bible. He usually loves anything we read, but I'd say his favorite book has always been "Are You My Mother" by P.D. Eastman. It's a lovely book for early and pre-readers.
It can be difficult to be outnumbered by all of these guys, but it is so rewarding. I can't imagine our life any other way.
Heck, sometimes I even feel like I'm a mom to the big boys as well. (RockerDad being silly with my nephews.)
If you're a Boy Mom, hop on over to The M.O.B. Society and "meet" some other Boy Moms!
RockerMom - LOVE it! I've only got one Little Lion Cub right now (4 months) - and am so enjoying this new part of my Journey! We're a rockin' family over here, too - literally. Hubby's a drummer and I'm a guitarist/singer! We can't wait to see if our little guy's got it, too! Thanks for sharing - lovin' this Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you...and hear someone else say that sometimes they feel as though they are mom to their husband as well, too! I can relate to that one!! LOL Please stop by my blog too: http://christis-blahblahblog.blogspot.com

hi! just hopping by from the MOB society! I have one son, Aaron, who's soon-to-be four. I'm from a family of all girls so this boy stuff is new to me! I'm learning dad and son wrestling is how they bond... I'm just not used to it yet :-) I always want to say "be careful!!" HA!
ReplyDeleteJust hopped over from MOB. My boys are older than yours, but they still wrassle like yours in the picture! (Guess it's a guy thing.) I have four, and they're great!
