This is my first blog post and today I’ll introduce myself a little bit.  My job title is many things, but my fancy college degree is in interior design.  I get asked a lot about my degree and how I decided this is what I wanted to do.   I was pre-med (3) long years. At 8:00AM on an August morning I went toOrganic Chemistry and realized that this gig wasn’t going to work.  All the people in that class were all speaking a language I never had heard of, and were not at all traumatized by this language.  So, I knew it was time to do what my inner self knew I was born to do.  (I totally got up from my seat and went directly to my advisor’s office and said we have to talk) I think I knew how to decorate and create from the moment I was born.  My first doll house with little furniture and little people and little dogs changed dynamics on a weekly and sometimes daily basis.  In other words its just in you. I of course learned some fancy stuff in college about how, what and why of design, but actually designing is all about trying out ideas until you get your end result.  My full time job is being a mom to my two kids.  I survived getting the boy off to college, so I had a little practice.  But, kid #2 is a girl, I was about to ride a super crazy ride that is basiclly like riding a vomit rocket at Six Flags. Yep, that is fun.  You get to experience al the super high’s and super low’s of being in the same room as a teenager.  In all seriousness, I do love what I do and I feel very lucky to be able to live out my best life with my other half.  

We live in Texas, and fall is about to arrive and guess what?  It is basically summer 2.o!  We get super excited when September rolls around and we put out the fall decor and we light pumpkin candles and turn the ac down real low like all in the hopes of telling Mother Nature that we are ready!  WE are DONE!  Summer was fun, but we’re over it and ready to live out our pumpkin, caramel and cinnamon life.  Like Today!

My goal with this blog is to be authentic and real and hopefully let you all know that real life is not always what we dreamed it would be.  We just have to embrace our reality and do the best we know how with our little slice of the world we are living in.
