Hey there! Welcome to my little home-away-from-home, boredom-buster, and creativity archive!

Here's a little snippet about me: 

I'm a stay at home mom to two little boys that double as monkeys and I love it. Its seriously my dream job. They say all sorts of crazy things that amuse me followed up with something incredibly profound that leaves me wondering what in the world I did to deserve such brilliant little teachers. 

I am also a voice and piano teacher on the side. I have a passion for music and I love sharing it with my students. In case you were wondering, my favorite music genre is broadway but I like to sprinkle country, pop, opera, and my parents music in there to really mix things up. This is crucial information that you would not be complete without knowing.

As a SAHM with a very small allowance (Ok I've never had an allowance! Sheesh!) I end up cooking most of the meals around here. My husband will attest to the fact that I was a horrible cook when we first got married. Emphasis on horrible. I seriously put basil and oregano in everything. Like I didn't even know other spices existed. Good grief. But after about 9037 meals later (and some amazing chef friends and food blogs that have helped me along the way) I can finally say I've acquired the knack of cooking. Warn me before you drop by for a meal though...we just might be eating mac n' cheese and hot dogs.

I have always had an affinity toward artistic outlets; I paint, draw, and sew so maybe its just natural that I'm undeniably and irrevocably in love with obsessed with beautiful interiors. I love the inviting, comforting feeling of an organized, well put together space. My home is usually anything but that. HA! Maybe when my little mess makers learn to clean up after themselves and this mess maker stops crafting messes all over the place then my home will be what I've always imagined it to be. But I'm not in a rush to get to that point...I kinda like my mess makers and I love making messes!

I started this blog shortly after I received my degree in English Linguistics at BYU. This was the perfect setting for me to continue the writing that I love while documenting the life of my family (which grandparents really appreciate!). This is also an ideal way to gather all my recipes, projects, thoughts, and pictures. In a nutshell, this blog is my happy place. So come on in and enjoy your stay =)
