Hey, I'm Kerri and I am the webmistress of this blog! I am a young mother of two children and one on the way! I'm working towards becoming a wedding and event planner in the near future, but I also build a lot of websites for no reason and I like to drink coffee. :)

Hey Jude
Yesterday my life changed once again. I had a scheduled c-section for the 23rd of January to deliver my second son and third child. Since I’ve had two c-sections in the past, everyone said I should be a pro at it. Well, every pregnancy is different (and I will blog about all three of mine later).
First off, Dustin and I were late to the hospital. I’m very punctual and Dustin, well, he’s definitely not. We were just about at the hospital and it was five minutes past our appointment time. I guess I was just overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions since I was about to have major surgery again, become a mother again, and we were late as always. I bawled my eyes out.
This delivery was very different from my last two. There was a different doctor doing the surgery. I had the spinal done THREE times because they didn’t get it right. I bawled my eyes out again because I read about the risks of having multiple c-sections and I’ve been convinced that I was going to die. But I never felt a thing. The procedure took a total of 20 minutes and even the pressure of them pushing on my belly didn’t hurt. Everything went smoothly and before I knew it, the baby was out and my tubes were tied and I was all sewn up ready to go to the recovery room.
The rest of the story isn’t as exciting as my last two deliveries. It was scheduled, I wasn’t dying or high risk, and the baby was perfect.
Jude Isaiah Mullis was born on January 23rd, 2012 at 1:03pm EST. He was 6lbs and 12oz and 19 3/4 inches long.
He is my last child ever and he’s absolutely perfect. 
Disney Movie Rewards
Recently I have joined Disney Movie Rewards and I absolutely love it!
I have been obsessed with gaining points, so I went through all of my Disney movies to get the codes from them. Some of the codes have been thrown out or lost which was super disappointing. But even still, I now have 1230 points! You can earn points by DVDs, music, and movie ticket stubs from seeing a Disney movie in theaters!
Also, since I have the Beauty and the Beast Diamond Edition, I received a FREE movie ticket to Beauty and the Beast 3D! I can now take Lyra to see the movie because I only have to pay for one of us.
I think everyone should join! Especially if they have kids, love Disney, or just love free stuff!
And the beat goes on…
I’ve been doing a little bit of reading and I’ve been completely re-addicted to Goodreads (add me!) lately. There might be a ton of book clutter on my blog, but I’m not turning this into a book blog. 
This blog is an everything blog. I can’t see myself blogging about one specific subject on a constant basis. I can’t even blog about weddings every day and that’s where my career is!
So… The Queen Mom will have parenting advice, stories, DIY projects, reviews (books, movies, music, products, etc), and anything else that sparks my fancy. The wedding related posts will also be posted on my business website.
What the heck was this blog post about again?

2012 Harry Potter Reading Challenge!

I’ve decided to join the 2012 Harry Potter Reading Challenge today!
Although I have read all of the books, I have only read each book once. And since the series has ended, I think that it’s time to read them all over again.
These books will NOT be added to my “20 Books in 2012 Challenge” because I have already read them and I want my challenge to be books that I haven’t read before. I guess that means I’ll really be reading 27 books!
Wish me luck! I hardly ever read and with three kids, two jobs, and a business, I’m scared I won’t have time! xD
Challenge: Read all seven books in the Harry Potter series during 2012.
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Back again!
So obviously I don’t take blogging as serious as I did when I was 14-years-old, but that’s okay. I have the good excuse of being a working mother. 
I was revamping this entire website and had it in maintenance mode, but I found out that two of my real life friends started blogging also! I’ll still be fixing up this website and purging things that are no longer needed. Maybe even a new layout if I can ever find time to make one, haha!
Hopefully this is the start of a long-time, regular blog. I’m going to retrieve as many old blog posts as I possibly can. I know almost all of my posts from 2003-2009 will not be able to be retrieved. Which makes me sad, but I guess that I will have to live.
Take care!
