About me

I am a wife. I am a mother. I am passionate about many things and they usually vary from month to month. The passions that have held fast throughout my wife and mother years are cooking, crafting and gardening, above each however would be being creative with each one.

I have never met a recipe that scared me. I could watch “cooking TV” 24 hours a day and often pretend I have my own show. Maybe I will include some video blogs so you can join in on the laughs that creates.

I have dabbled in many crafts, I especially love quick crafts (and with a toddler there are no other kind these days!) I love to use my crafting ability to avoid buying things like home décor and toys. Not that I don't like buying these, but I love having unique items fill my home.

I came from a family of “green-thumbs”. I have always appreciated a beautifully landscaped yard or a flourishing garden but thought, for many years, that this ability skipped a generation (or more namely me!) Since my son was born I have found that gardening is much like mothering and now my garden is something to be proud of!

I take great pride in homemaking. I am not a “homemaker” per-say. I work outside of the home, however I love making our house a home. Something leaps inside of me when my husband walks in and says “What's for dinner, it smells delicious!” A huge smile appears when I walk into the kitchen in the morning to see a shiny sink and clean counters. When I get home from work, I de-stress by puttering around the house, picking things up or starting laundry. I love finding new ways to organize a closet. Nana has always said I was born in the wrong era, I would be content in 1950 something wearing adorable dresses and an apron.

With that said you would think my home is spic-n-span and completely organized. This is not the case (remember previously mentioned toddler?) actually I have always been “the messy one”. Nobody would ever label me as a “Type-A” personality. Not sure how that contradiction works together, but once you get it figured out you will understand me!
