Maybe this could be my professional head shot.
By night, I'm a "mother", a "maid", a "chef" and a fixer of all things domestic.
Honestly, this is the first time I've touched a broom in months.
Ok, all fiction aside, I'm an admin assistant with a local management consulting and investment banking firm. At night, I'm usually too tired (aka lazy) to really do anything. While I like to cook, I often find myself opting for take-out.
My poor kitchen just screams out for attention when I neglect it.
While I have great ideas for how I want my house to look, I often can't find the motivation to even clean up. Fortunately, my "maid" (aka little sister) has offered to help me in this regard (for a price).
She doesn't complain about my mess. What more could I ask for?
By the time I get home from work, I'm ready to settle down with TV and the adoration of my "children".
There's the pups, Tokie & Piper
The cats, Bingbong & Misser Kitty
The sugar gliders, Mika, Jack, Gadget, Gizzy Magoo & Taz
The rats, Doobie & Kodo
And last (but not least), the ferret, Dink-a-dink
Ok, I know all these animals love me. But if I'm really being honest with myself, their adoration is really for this guy:
The daddy, Cliff
If it wasn't for Cliff, I don't know if anything would ever get done around the house when my sister isn't there cleaning. He's really good about coming home from work and picking up a few things, he takes really good care of our menagerie and he never complains (much) when my laziness takes over.
So, here I am. Blogging about being an amateur domestic. What do I want to do with this blog? Well, I want it to help give me motivation and accountability on being an actual domestic when I'm home. I hope to use this blog as a way to showcase some undiscovered domestic talents that I have. Here are a couple of things I want to do.
I've really gotten fascinated with the concept of "refashioning" clothes. This year, I've been on a weight loss journey, and when my clothes started to become ill-fitting, I was just going to donate them, which is a noble thing to do. But maybe I can still get some life out of my old favorites by just "refashioning" them into something new and hopefully, improved. My goal is to refashion some clothes and share the results (good and bad) here.
My sewing area is just waiting for my first attempts at refashioning.
As I mentioned above, I really do love cooking. Or at least, I love the process of putting together a bunch of ingredients and having it turn into something that tastes really yummy. Because of my current weight loss goals, I've actually been attempting to change my eating habits to be more in line with clean eating. So, for the cooking part of this blog, I would like to share some of the dishes I make, give credit to whomever came up with the dish (if it's just a recipe I follow) and also share some of my original recipes here as well. I have another blog called Recipe Random that is kind of defunct. I believe I'll just poach some of my recipes from there and see if I can improve upon them for my clean eating goals.
One of my original recipes, a Greek smoothie. This will make another appearance with the recipe info.
So, those are the two main things I will blog about, but if I ever come across any cool cleaning, pet care or other domestic-type things I want to share on this blog, I'll certainly blog about that as well.
