Talluluh who?

Hey ya'll.  Thanks for stopping by to read.  I've officially joined the blogger bandwagon.  Because my plate wasn't full enough (hahahaha!), I thought I'd start another project.  Somewhere where I can post the funny things my kids do and say, the trials and triumphs I face as I start a "clean" and fit lifestyle (more on this later), show love for my favorite products, share recipes and photos, and a little of everything in between.  I know most of you probably know me.  I highly doubt that I'm already famous and drawing the attention of readers around the world, so I'll spare you the "About Me" post.  However, you may be wondering, who is Talluluh?   Well, if you've known me my whole life, you know the answer.  So you can stop reading.  But for the rest of you, here it is.  Talluluh Laverne is my alias.  My mother thinks everyone needs an alias.  And you just don't argue with your mother.  Sometime in my teenage years, my mom disclosed that she wished she would have named me Talluluh instead of Lauren.  This name came from a story from this book:

The girl in the story was named Talluluh, and she spent her days hiding in a chinaberry tree reading books and spying on people passing by.  My mom always loved that story, and read it to me many times.  So, I adopted the name Talluluh as my alias.  It's been my nickname for years.  I had it printed on the back of my warm-up jersey in basketball, on my class ring, and it is my name on Twitter, Instagram, and anywhere else I can plaster it.  Talluluh is who I am at my core, my best self.  I know you will sleep better tonight knowing this.  Stay tuned for more riveting posts.  

Signed,

Talluluh
