I have finally entered the blogging world...jury is still out on how well I will maintain this but I have high hopes it will turn into a full time paying job and I can quit my day gig....okay my hopes really aren't that high, not even close but wouldn't that be awesome! I always read these amazing blogs that people write for a living and become a tinge jealous. Anyways- real goal is to just remember I have a blog and update it when I have a domestic moment!
"Domestic Chaos" has a story behind it, most of which will never grace the blog, the gist of the story being that I have had two given nicknames from my friends, "Domestic Dawn" and "Chaos." Both aptly describe my life so I figured I would blog about my attempts to reign in the chaos and be creatively domestic, domesticity and chaos are also 2 things I love dearly.
I am a social worker- which equals chronic chaos (although not why I have the nickname....that is more related to some of my less mentionable qualities) and I thrive on chaos. Never know what might happen next works for me, I like the challenge of prioritizing, crisis resolving, the "which shoe will drop next and can I catch it" mentality. Just to point out- my chaos requires a certain level of organization (enter my type A-ness).
On the other hand I LOVE cooking, baking, trying new recipes and mostly creating my own. And in a shocking turn events learned last year that decorating and finding cheap (Dave may disagree that it is cheap) ways to make our little apartment a home on 1 income is too much fun, and now an addiction. My husband, Dave, is in grad school to be a teacher so budgeting has become another keen quality of ours which lends itself to cheap homemade meals and home ambiance.
That is a heck of introduction for what I am sure is to be a measly blog satisfying my own need to save recipes and ideas. Making dinner and banana-walnut bread tonight so hopefully I'll have a first REAL post up this weekend...maybe even tonight if blogging becomes anything like a facebook addiction.
