About Me!

My name is Pinkie.  Well, no, that's really not my name but that's my "bloggin' handle".  I decided to start a blog because everyone was doing it.  No...that's not true either.

I knew I would be horrible at keeping up my daughter's baby book.  I am always sitting in front of a computer, (and I have the derriere to prove it), so I thought the best baby book I could do for her would be a blog.  So there you have it.

Where did "Pinkie and the Bean" come from?  I've been asked if it was a take off on Pinky and the Brain.  To be honest, I had never heard of Pinky and the Brain until people started asking me that question.  So I can safety tell you all that those cartooneys had no influence here.  First, I didn't want to just throw our real names out there.  I have a lot of fears and one of them is internet stalking.  So I knew I had to come up with nicknames for us all.  Everyone in my personal life that gets mentioned here on my blog gets a nickname or bloggin' handle as I like to call them.  I picked Pinkie for me because well, it's not that hard...I like everything pink.  Pink is my "signature color".  (That is stolen from Steel Magnolias.  Please don't sue me, Julia!)  And when I first found out I was pregnant, I got tired of calling the baby "it", and the technical terms are all just too cold.  No one wants to say "fetus" all day long.  So I started calling her "Bean".  In fact, we didn't officially decide on a name for Bean until she was about 12 hours old.

If you need a rundown on the characters found here on this blog, here ya go:

Pinkie - your beautiful, talented, witty author  :)

Bean - the star of the show

Hubz - the co-producer

Giggles - Hubz' mother, my mother-in-law, and one of Bean's nannies

The Accomplice - Hubz' aunt, Giggles' sister, and the second of Bean's two nannies

The Grump - my dear, sweet, sunshiney father-in-law

BIL 1 - Hubz' oldest brother

BIL 2 - Hubz' next oldest brother

There are a couple more but I will have to add them later.

I have opened our own Amazon.com store. It is called Pinkie and the Bean Toddler Store.  Not that original but maybe we can tweak it as we go along.  I have added Montessori books and teaching aides to the store.  Feel free to take a look.
