Not your typical housewife

Out tubing with the girls in Northern Michigan 2-11-2010

Recently I was going through old pictures of the Mr. and I. The memories fresh, so hard to believe we’ve been together 12 years now. And, yet – our youthfulness! Young, fresh, innocent looking, and full of life.

Where we are today looks a whole lot different.

I’m not a typical housewife at all. Throughout the past 8 years that I’ve been at home with the girls, I’ve maintained a level of marketability for myself. Some out of a need to have my own place, as well as making sure that if the unthinkable ever happened, we would be alright.

But, somewhere along the line, old interests dropped off, and new one’s didn’t take their place.

Sure, there are things I dabble in – fishing, knitting, baking, but really, I don’t have anything other than work that I am passionate about. And that, my friends, is not a good place to be.

Many times I come to this place, this blog, to write, but really – I’m boring.  I’m not an acclaimed photographer, nor a recipe guru.  My tips for keeping your home clean and organized are summed up by the phrase “Just Do It”.  My children are healthy, and we live a relatively drama free existence.

What are some things that you are passionate about?  That you love to do, for you?
