I originally began this blog in January of 2009. As you can see, I didn't keep up with it and didn't post much, eventually abandoning it but never quite being able to bring myself to delete it.
Now, nine years later, I've decided to revisit blogging. When I first decided to begin again, I almost trashed this blog in favor of starting completely fresh. I was a little embarrassed by what I perceived as a failure, and I also didn't think that the title would apply anymore as a lot has changed in the past nine years. Or has it? After getting married, living in Brooklyn for five years, having a baby, and moving to Mississippi, we are living in a house again and I am still not the Happy Homemaker. Maybe the biggest difference: I don't want to be. My husband stays home with our son and I work, and we both like this arrangement. It has it's challenges of course - everything does - but this is the best situation for us right now.
That being said - I still love Martha (Stewart, of course), and Betty White's Happy Homemaker still cracks me up. I still like to cook (when I have the time and mental energy) and I still love to make shit (shit = knitting, crochet, miscellaneous crafts, etc.). I still dream of making our house beautiful and I fantasized about being organized someday. After a rough 2017 (nationally and personally) where I didn't get as many creative outlets as I would like, I'm hoping for a more productive and creative 2018 (among other things). Hopefully you'll join me for the journey and if not, I'll still be here if you change your mind.
