Welcome to my blog. Dear me.
It seems a little strange to jump in and start discussing everyday life without so much as an introduction or howdy-do, so here is my idea of a preface. This can be the umbrella which all that follows can find sanctuary under.
I live with my husband and two daughters in Western North Carolina. I married and made a home in the same town that I was born in, and while that seems unexciting, my daily goings-on within these walls are anything but. We recently acquired two kittens (a birthday gift for my four year old) and somehow, the fish is still alive (that same daughter's first pet three years ago). And get this--this house we purchased some eight years ago is only a bit up the street from my parents. Add my young at heart folks, an aging and timeless Labrador, and a golf cart to the mix. We like to have fun. I stay at home with my two daughters while my husband surveys in the mountains. I sell pottery online and teach art lessons in my back yard studio.
I earned a degree in Art Education after high school. This basically is a studio art degree peppered with some basic education courses. I took every kind of art class, several levels of art history and even underwater basket weaving. Sculpture, ceramics, painting, drawing, photography...a varied list. After graduation, you're supposed to pick a favorite and go with it or teach. Or, better--do both. My favorites include ceramics (wheel thrown pottery), painting, and drawing.
I love what I do, but most days I do so much that I don't know what to do next. I love navigating the waters of motherhood and talking to other moms, hanging out by the campfire with my husband, and walking around the neighborhood with my mom. Just an ordinary girl, I guess. Nice to meet you!
