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.

Fitness Friday

Many, many posts ago I shared with you the Doctor’s diagnosis regarding my high blood pressure and cholesterol. In one specific post I stated my exercise of choice to combat these nuances would be running. For the most part I have stuck to my word and running has become a part of my routine.

Valencia, over at Fit Momma V is featuring me today as a momma who takes out the time for fitness. Don’t walk but RUN (pun intended)—->HERE to show me some love and check out her awesome blog and how she is empowering moms to live healthy and fit lives.

Have a good weekend!!

Wordless Wednesday (kinda)..Sugar & Spice

Now that things are settling a bit, I have been able to pick my camera back up *cue angels singing,and squishy baby legs* I loooooove my camera, I do. I had the opportunity to photograph these beauties. They gave me a run for my money in the heat but I think it was worth it.

I have finally gotten my website up. It is still a work in progress but go see what GlossyPix has been up to. I am currently trying to build my portfolio and need families and individuals.
