My name is Audra Cross and I am a working mommy of two littles, a wife, and a GREAT list maker. My husband jokes that I make lists of my lists (and I do). I am from deep in the Bootheel of Missouri in a small town of 510 people (no I am not joking). I work in agriculture, but more importantly, I am a mommy to two amazing little babes and a wife to a great guy!

Cory and I met through mutual friends when I moved home from college to attend a more local university (Southeast Missouri State University GO REDHAWKS)! Our first date included about 20 other people and was on Friday the 13th. I can't say I figured it would work out so well, but everyone has their someone and I quickly knew that he was mine. In the last 10 years we have made it through grad school together (Arkansas State University HOWL YES!) a year trying to conceive our precious Reagan; who was quickly followed by our sweet guy Kai! Cory works in agriculture research (MIZ-ZOU) by day and helps me chase around the little's at night.

Reagan Grace Elizabeth joined our family on July 08, 2014. This girl is ALL SASS, and its ALL my fault. This little is tough as nails and has been since she was still in my belly baking. Reagan is my twinless twin we lost her twinkie at 10 weeks, but our princess stuck it out for us! She loves being outside, telling stories, anything PINK, Ice Cream, and her momma! 

Kai Heath Denham is the best surprise that I could have ever received. I had a 9-month-old crawling around the house when the test said YES! I laughed, I cried, and now I couldn't imagine our lives without this happy baby boy! Kai completed our family January 28, 2016, and couldn't be a better addition to our tribe! He loves Muppet Babies, climbing on everything, his sister (when she is sharing her toys), and he cries every time the door opens and he doesn't get to go out and play! Also, Kai has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Currently, this little guy does speech therapy and ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis). I am so proud of him every single day because, I know he has to work twice as hard for all of his interactions, and socialization. Kai does it and amazes me with his intelligence and willingness to try new things all the time. 

That's all about us! I hope you enjoy reading about this and that and all else that comes along in our fun days! I want to use this space as a lifestyle blog of a middle-class hardworking family, and a place to be real about life with work, mommin', and running a household. I am hoping this blog will be a way for me to expand my community of parents with children on the spectrum. I feel like I learn so much from other parents, and get new information. I want to say that I have a lot of opinions on world issues, religion, and so many other highly controversial subjects, and I will not be discussing them on this blog. I want this to be a positive outlet for me and a place where I can catalog our family life for my kids as they get older. No my life is not all roses all the time, and I am sure I will talk about the everyday stresses, but I want this to be an uplifting space online where people can be real but positive.
