Hi There! I'm Diana, Welcome to my blog The Whimsical Momma! This is my first blog, I tried making others but never knew quite what to type so i never used them, so please bear with me as I start out. So a little about me and my life. I am married to my best friend, we have been married 6 going on 7 years. We have a lovely and funny little girl named Scarlett Rose and a crazy overly vocal kitty named Clover. I am a stay at home mommy and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I am looking to make this a blog about my day to day mommy life, sharing anything from a recipe to what baby/ toddler items i am currently favoring. Please let me know if you wish to see any specific tips or information. I look forward to writing further posts and hope that you enjoy them. :) If you wish to know more about me, please check the About me section.
