Let me say - to begin with - I am a little nervous about starting a blog because when I do something I tend to pour myself into it whole heartedly only to burn myself out. So, for this project, I plan on taking it nice and slow! The reason why I decided to start a blog is because of all the creative things in life that I'm doing right now - and how I use other women's blogs who are like me to stay inspired. I want to share my life too! I spent last year deployed to Afghanistan and one thing it really made me do was appreciate all the things we can do in a home environment. I discovered pinterest while I was there and longed hours and hours everyday to cook, craft, and beautify myself.
A quick summary of me! I am NOT the typical soldier. I am 23, 6 months pregnant, nearing my second wedding anniversary to my best friend in the whole world - and I consider myself a complete housewife - even though I work full time. I am also a part time student.. I am getting my degree so that I can teach High School English. I love cooking, baking, crafting, gardening, reading, and my DOGS!
If you have any of the same interests then maybe you might like this blog. I think it will be mostly to share recipes, crafts, and other ideas (cleaning etc?)
Thanks for visiting!
Dear Susie,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogosphere! :) I've come across many blogs from many women, but never one who loves to cook who is also a soldier on top of it all. I must tell you that you already have my respect and admiration (Afghanistan!--holy moly). And, you're expecting a baby! That's wonderful, too. I love the recipes you've been creating. (That pizza looks dang fantastic, let me tell you.) It's great that you're enjoying what free time you have now. As a mom of two teenage boys, I know how precious free time can be, and that's especially true when your kids are babies! I look forward to many more visits to your blog. Thanks for visiting mine!
Warmly,
Jane

Jane,
ReplyDeleteWow! My first comment! =) Thank you so much for the encouragement. I have already been to your blog several times and I am so excited to try out your strawberry muffins. I have everything I need except the fresh strawberries. I think I was going to try to make it "clean" as much as I can without ruining the recipe! I'll have to let you know how it goes!
