A little about me:
I am no stranger to failure, but I have become super close with perseverance. We are like BFF <3 I live in NY and drink a lot of coffee, I play the piano, and I don't take myself too seriously. I easily laugh at myself and don't mind if you laugh as well. I am not the greatest writer but it sounds good in my head so bare with me. A little background: I am married to Mike for 3 years, he is the absolute love of my life and my best-friend. We have had a long, and interesting journey, but life is super exciting right now!! I have a ton of ideas I want to attempt and desires and dreams I want to fulfill so what can be better than starting NOW? I have all this new found freedom since passing the last CPA test and am starting my long desired journey on becoming a kick-ass homemaker/DIYourself-er. Goals and the big SO WHAT?!: I want to learn how to cook, attempt DIY projects, decorate and make our tiny beachfront apartment as beautiful as it can be. When I got married I felt discouraged because I wanted to make our apartment beautiful and chic and cook amazing meals, but I was new at it all and needed the time I lacked to develop the talent I lacked. I would purchase something to decorate with without an idea of what I actually wanted to do and then think "WTF! What were you thinking?!" I saw all these talented women (some around my age, some not) who were really good at cooking and/or decorating an be embarrassed about my lack of skill, wishing that I could do that someday. I browse a lot of fashion blogs, but I was recently looking through home and DIY blogs wondering how these women with like 18 children accomplish these things an make it look awesome on the first time?? How do they come up with these ideas, etc... So it got me thinking, I'm sure a lot of them had to develop their skills, they can't all be perfect, right?? I don't see anyone blogging about their epic failures, I'm sure they a good amount have stories but are def just putting their best foot forward... So instead of sitting and wishing, I am going to roll up my sleeves and start trying... This journal is going to follow me as I learn, fail and succeed pretty much at life...hey, don't judge me. This is going to be an interesting ride ;) I can promise you many burned meals and failed DIY attempts... **DISCLAIMER: I highly suggest you don't ask me for recipes...but maybe contact me an contribute!! I will also be asking some of my friends who are super talented to contribute as well!! Stay tuned! Xo Sincerely, >>> M <<< |
