Dreams of Domestication

*Please excuse the dust. For the next week or so I am going to be playing with the layout of the blog a bit. I really want to pay to have it done, but I can’t part with the $$ knowing if I put my mind to it, I can do it myself and save that money for a new pair of shoes..Also if you would be so kind to click the Networked Blogs link to your right..I’ll love you forever. It’s all apart of the journey from blog to brand..Thank you for your support*

NOW…

How was your weekend? Did you catch the VMAs? My weekend was low key nothing special, so I won’t bore you with the deets, but instead will let you in on the new epiphany that I had this weekend.

I’ve decided I want to be a domesticated goddess. Hear me out. See, I was thinking about my mother the other day and I came upon fond memories of  her baking, trying recipes, and crafting when I was my son’s age. The house always smelled of food. Her dedication to the home brings me warm and fuzzy feelings of her.

It hit me. I want my children to have those same memories of me and the home that I provided for them. While I’ll never be my mother, with fall and winter the coziest seasons upon us I’ve decided to give crafting and baking a try…for my kids sake. Don’t laugh.

I may hang out and wear stilettos and skinny jeans but I want my kids to say I provided not just a house but a home for them in a somewhat “traditional” sense of the word. You’ll see the Domestic Goddess emerge, mess up and succeed on this journey. However, most importantly my son will no longer have to remind me that his grandma used to make cookies with him because he’ll be making them and memories with his own mother.

Now….which apron do I choose.
