Day after day, throughout the winter,
We hardened ourselves to live by bluest reason
In a world of wind and frost...

The amateur housewife
I call myself an amateur housewife because it’s a fairly new experience and, frankly, I’m not all that good at it. In my defense, I’m not home full time. Rather, I have the best (and sometimes the worst!) of both worlds. I started a part-time marketing and public relations business four years ago. I have a daughter who, coincidentally, is four years old. And a baby boy who was born in November.
In between deadlines and the occasional, guilt-induced bout of housework, I created this blog to talk about the things I love with like-minded people.
