I am home with four kids - two girls, two boys - ages 14, 6, 5 and 3 (and when I started this blog, just a little over two years ago, I had an infant, a 2yr old, 3yr old and 12yr old - feels like a lifetime ago, but it wasn't ;-). Until about four or five years ago, I worked in marketing. I have been and done many things - dancer, magazine "multi-tasker", advertising copywriter, gymnastics coach, resort town waitress, grad student, etc. Now my areas of expertise are different and diverse. I am savvy, efficient, patient and earthy (like it or not). I am a better cook, an Ok herb gardener, an impressive artist to my kids, an active and prolific photographer, a childrens' clothing stylist (in my head), a manager of all things "household" and a news enthusiast (from politics to celebrity). I am more cynical though less of a worrier / hypochondriac than I used to be. I am increasingly proud of what I do with kids, family and home, but I do still present myself as a "freelance writer".
Photo of the day: A blank wall.... what to do with this area of my wee Lil's room - ???? Paint for sure... what color? Add reading corner..... ? Play kitchen?
I still miss Eliza's paint job in her nursery in Virginia. It was called Sugar Plum (purple). Not sure of the brand or if they make it anymore. I like the idea of a reading corner. What is her favorite thing to do? Maybe leave it empty for when she wants to set something up and leave it there for awhile?
You know - I wish I would have gone purple, but... part of the room is already pink with pumpkin contrasts. Maybe I should repaint... Olivia's old baby room was purple too... Monet Lavender, I think :-).
