I am Mama Dragonfly from St. Louis, Missouri. I am married and have two wonderful children; a nine year old boy and an eleven year old girl. I also work full time as a researcher in the biotechnology field. To be a wife, a mom, a housekeeper, a cook, and a full time worker is a huge juggling act for me. This is a task I struggle with every day even after all these years. Blogging about my ever constant quest to do it all helps me put things in perspective, and maybe keep my sanity intact. Parenting is nothing like I expected-- with its challenges, setbacks, and most of all, unmeasurable rewards. I guess the trick to obtain balance is to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride no matter how trying life can be sometimes.
