I spend most of my days all day every day at "home" with my one-year-old. I say at "home" because we get out... we go to the library, the park, the zoo, the mall... I just have the one little one, so we get around pretty easily. Life is good. No, not just good. Life is AWESOME. We are so blessed that I am able to be home with her and blessed that we have this precious, hilarious, ornery, adorable little person in our lives.
You're waiting for the but. Here goes...
We are so blessed BUT like many other women, and I know many other women feel this way because I read it all over the internet, I struggle with the fact that I am not working. Not using my degree (which we are still paying for by the way) to earn money/experience/social standing/personal achievement, whatever. Some days I get a little down because I realize my vocabulary has been reduced to simple sentences about blocks, pottying, and animals all day long.
I decided to do something about it. I love love LOVE all these fabulous inter web folks who share their talent, tutorials, and ideas! Intimidating? Yes, a little, but I have learned sooooo much from many remarkable women on the web. I decided to try to write my own blog. At minimum it will grant me the opportunity to practice writing on a higher level than the grocery list. At best I may be able to help someone else the way these women have taught and inspired me. In my experience, if you imagine you can create something beautiful... you can. It may take a couple tries and a million tutorials, but you can do it. The feeling of accomplishment is well worth the effort as are all the little unexpected things you learn along the way. So here it goes... let's see what we can create!
