I have no real blogging experience, so hopefully this blog will also become part of my "I Can Do That!" idea. The main focus of this blog will be to chronicle baking and craft projects that I attempt (I promise to even include the failures). Those who know me know that I have been baking for years. I even (kind of sort of) have a 'lil side business, Sweet Treats by Jenn. However, currently that website is down and I'm not quite sure when I'll get it back up. I want to change the focus to be mostly cupcakes and cookies because when you say you make cakes people expect Ace of Cakes type creations and that just isn't what I can do. I always like to say that I focus on flavor over decor (because, really...I'm not much of an artist).
So...back to this blog. Lately, I've become quite obsessed with Pinterest. I spend most of my time on the DIY & Crafts board. I've made a few things and I feel the need to take up my own space on the interwebz to talk about these projects. I promise to always credit the original site that I get the ideas from. This cartoon sums up what Pinterest does to a person:
I think my obsession with crafting/DIYing stems from the need to put the energies I normally put into teaching somewhere productive at home. Don't get me wrong...taking care of my (currently) 5 month old takes a lot of time. Fortunately though, he does take a few naps and goes to bed fairly early so I do have a little time. (I know this will change once he is more mobile, but I'll adjust).
Speaking of my 5 month old, I'm sure there will be a few posts centering around "the adventures in parenting." I'll refer to DS (dear son) as the dragon. I'll refer to DH (dear husband) as Bama. You know, to keep some anonymity on the internet :) We plan to BLW (baby led weaning) with the dragon, so there will definitely be some posts (and hopefully way cute pics) when that starts in a month or so.
