I love to read blogs and for over a year now, have maintained this blog solely as a place to store my blog links. But, I can’t seem to find a blog that I can really relate to. So, I am starting my own.
I am part Carrie Bradshaw and part Laura Ingalls Wilder. I love fashion and the big city but I also love to sew and make things by hand. I lean more towards simplicity and a slower place, yet am always busy. I adore my children with every ounce of my being, yet am not defined by them. I outsource and I DIY. I am way too hard on myself and am a professional worrier. It is completely normal for me to shop at Goodwill and the Neiman Marcus outlet in the same afternoon. I am sort of ADD.
Here are the top 10 reasons my blog will be different than a lot of what I am finding out there:
I don’t live in Manhattan.
I don’t live in L.A.
I have small (human) children and don’t consider dogs to be children.
I have a full-time job.
I don’t home school.
I don’t think waiting until $1200 shoes are on sale for $700 makes a person cost-conscious.
I am not a size 0 or 2. I am not even an 8. I am WELL into the double digits, people.
I can’t commit to posting my outfits daily – see #3 and #4 above.
I am (way) over the age of 30.
I do not love (or really even like) to cook.
Wow. Do I really have time for this blog thing?
