Mom + Blogger = Mommy Blogger?

So, the other day, I am on a car ride out to a garden in the country and my friend asks me, "K, are you a mommy blogger?"

I was like, uh, I don't think so but I have a blog...and then it occurred to me, "Yeah, I have a blog!"

I should check in on my nobody-theres and pull the cobwebs off the keyboard!

How ya been?

Me?

Oh, busy!

Really, my absence is always a good thing. It means I am being productive. After months of confusion I finally committed myself to making my dreams come true. I am going to college.

Things are actually falling into place. We even bought a beat-up Dodge from a friend and now our car worries are eased. I think my financial aid is going to cover school, child care, and enough of our cost of living so that I can really focus on my classes. I am hoping to get some sort of part-time job or internship as soon as I get the hang of my new schedule.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with you, blog.

I'll be back with some more elbow grease in a few. Right now, I have to take my toddler to the library.

Top priority of the day: Find my friggin library card and solidify my new schedule. Three care providers, two days a week, one busy mom!

Btw, I think this is the story that inspired my friend's questions. Interesting stuff.

Wham!

A friend recently pointed me toward two very good resources for the enterprising WAHM. One is a legitimate opportunity to make some grocery money from your computer.

The other is a savvy and informative on-line magazine for moms trying to work from home. There is lots of level-headed advice there.  http://www.wahm.com/

With so many predatory advertisers targeting stay-at-home-mom's, it felt right to share the good!

Don't Call it a Comeback

Hey Ya'll!

I wasn't sure if I would continue this blog. Maybe I'll poll to see who is still with me and what you all think. The name is a little confusing now. For several reasons, I am on hiatus from the esthetics profession. I will probably never go back. If you are in the field or considering it, I'd love to tell you why. Email me.

Anyway, this blog was a map of sorts. A tool for discovery. It has served it's purpose well. It can grow with me, right?

I still have so much more to share!

For example:

Crafty Feast is a fledgling independent craft fair getting it's start this year. If you know Etsy then you probably get the idea. If you don't know Etsy and click that link then I am sorry. You're a junkie like the rest of us now. 

This is a local event but, they are accepting vendors from out of the area, too. The deadline to submit your application is March 1st.  I think it would be so exciting for something like this to be successful in Columbia. If you don't craft maybe you can still come to support those who do. Ribs, Renaissance and divergent home crafters. What's not to like?
