About Us

Hi!  As you probably know if you're here, we are the Fertitta family (pronounced "fur-tee-tuh."  You're welcome.)  Sam and I met at Bluefield College, where he was an All-American baseball player majoring in Criminal Justice, and I was a volleyball playing RA majoring in Business Management.  We met courtesy of my business project partner, and after two and a half years of dating, we got married in October of 2006.  Now, we are the lucky parents of our strong-willed preschooler Harper (5), and our sweet-as-pie toddler Willa Kate (2).  Sam works for Appalachian Power Hydro, and I work full time as a sales representative for Pfizer.  Our life certainly isn't perfect, but it's busy, funny, and filled with memories.  Thanks for joining us as I attempt to chronicle the chaos and the ordinary.

Why did I start a blog?  Good question.  I can tell you it's not because my house or crafts or life looks like Pinterest.  They don't.  And despite my efforts, they probably never will.   I sometimes wonder why I'm bothering to post about these seemingly mundane things (swim lessons, Cheerio eating, crying in the car...).  But, here's the answer.
