I don’t write. I’ve never really enjoyed writing. So why am I starting a blog? Because right now, people need real. Not perfect. If you want perfect grammar, move on. If you want proofread and perfect posts, you came to the wrong place. While I am writing these 1 of 2 things is happening:
1. My 3 kids are fending for themselves while I attempt to ignore them and focus.
OR
2. My husband is laying in bed snoring next to me while I am the only one still awake in my house (current situation)
These will not be perfect. But they will be real. Real people doing real things. A real mom who is real stressed and just trying to stay home, raise her kids, love her husband, and maybe make a little money on the side doing something she loves.
Now that we all have our expectations managed… Hi! I’m Chelsea. A 30 something crafting, homeschooling, introvert, wife and mom of 3. I love creating. Anything crafty is my drug of choice. Nope, I lied… that’s coffee. But crafting is a close second.
My family is my life. My husband (of 11 years yesterday!) is my best friend and my true counter part. I have known him for almost 20 years and I can’t imagine what life would be like without him. We are not perfect. Our relationship is not perfect but we are perfect for each other. My kids are the reason I get up in the morning. They are also the reason I drink coffee in the morning and wine and (more recently) mead at night and stay up way too late. I have Monkey who is 8.5. He is way too smart and literal for his own good, and is learning his limits by testing them on almost a daily basis. I have Monster who is 6.5. He is the most lovable kid in the world and can get you to smile no matter what. He tests my patience but he has a heart of gold and never stops moving. Then there is Mermaid. I may be biased, but at 1 she is probably one of the most perfect creatures alive. She is smart and stubborn (no idea where she gets that from), a daredevil in the making, and just about the happiest girl in the world. Individually, they are handfuls. Together, they will move mountains and are a force of nature you don’t want to cross. We also have 2 dogs who love to add chaos into the mix…
Daily life is simple. My husband goes to work. I stay home and homeschool the kids, work in my studio on orders, attempt to be domestic more or less and try to keep the tiny humans alive (so far, so good!)
So there we are. That is me and my life. I’ll get down and dirty with the nitty gritty details in other posts but expect to see a lot of rambling thoughts, funny stories from my kids, homeschooling tips and tricks (also failures and blunders), relationship stuff, crafting adventures and everything in between. Welcome! And if I “seemstressed”… I am!
