Here goes...

I'm excited to be starting a blog as a way to record my inspirations, vent my exasperations, share snapshots, and maybe even connect with others who identify.

I chose "hot mama", because that's what my mischievous 2 yr. old son randomly calls me. Probably heard it from dad and it stuck. And I chose "hotmamainthehouse" because every blog name I wanted was picked years ago by flaky people who didn't blog more than a week. Too bad they don't expire. Hopefully that won't be me. :)
