Where to Begin...




I've been thinking long and hard about starting a blog for some time now.  I guess I thought only know-it-alls and pedantic types write blogs. I am also a veteran "worrywort" so, of course, my mind immediately goes to my blog exploding into a pop culture phenomenon and my child being kidnapped and all my dirty laundry being exposed on the next episode of Inside Edition (is that show still even on?). What the heck! I say let's throw caution to the wind and let whatever will be, well, be.

  In case you're wondering who I am, I'll try to give you a sense of what I'm all about. First and foremost, I'm a Christian. I know that means a lot of different things to most people so hopefully I can glorify God and not let him down as you read this blog. I recently moved from eastern KY to the heart of Buckeye country. I hold degrees in Art and Journalism.
  After college I had a few PR jobs and worked as a radio DJ for several years. I even had a professional photography studio for three years.  Before starting a family, my life revolved around Theatre, dance, crafts and art. But I always felt like my real talents were domestic. I can cook, clean, sew, organize, decorate, plan, shop...in other words, I always thought I was meant to be a heck of a housewife.
  About two years ago I reconnected with "The One Who Got Away". We didn't waste any time this time around and we have been happily married for a little over a year now. There's a ten year age gap between us and a lot of life experiences behind us. I have a young son who lives with us and my husband has a grown son in the military. My husband makes a good living in law enforcement so when my last PR job fizzled out I got to live out my fantasy of being a kick-ass housewife.
  People always ask me where I get ideas for my home and how I do the everyday things I take for granted so I thought maybe a blog would be a good way to go to share my ideas and projects. I'm in no way an expert at anything and oftentimes I finish a project and wish I'd done it differently. So if you have a better way or better idea, I'd love to hear it.
