You may have noticed my blog has a new tag line, "Perfectly Imperfect." The other day as I was stumbleupon-ing my way through the Internet I came across a website that detailed, across pages and pages of text, how to clean your house each week. My first thought as I read it was, "ooooh I should do this." My second thought was, "what the hell?" I relish my role as wife, mother and keeper of the home above all other things in my life, but come on! Weekly toothbrush scrubbing between tiles in the bathroom? I'm not doing that. Probably ever, most certainly not weekly.
It's a common theme across the web; blog after blog of home baked goodies, intricate meals, hand knit sweaters, decoupaged end tables and mobiles made out of paint samples (5 of them, yo). And I'm not knocking them, I admire these people whole-heartily, I just can't do it.
My hope for this blog is a place where you can find meal plans, parenting and working mom stories, something to think about or if nothing else a sense of superiority to my woeful attempts to knit Callah a sweater or make dinner every night.
Eventually I'd like to have horizontal tabs organized by cooking posts or mommy posts, but true to the nature of my blog, I'm not there yet. In the meantime, stick with me as I embark on a blogging adventure fraught with mistakes and imperfections!
Love the picture, Ann! Miss you.

ReplyDeleteSome of the big questions of life: where to put my time, where to put my money, when to strive for perfection (almost never) and when you do our best...
You've got a nice balance in your column and life.
Well put mom. Thank you.
