I'm new to the blogging world, so might fumble around with this for a bit before I sort out how all this works. I thought this might be a more convenient way to keep friends and family up-to-date on us rather than short little snippets on Facebook. I also thought it would be a great place for reviews of products, sharing recipes, or crafts. Maybe even sharing books or movies that were especially good. Sort of like a catch all blog I guess. Just a place for me to babble about whatever happens to strike my fancy.
I've managed to change my layout and add on some gadgets, so I must not be doing too bad. I'm sure there is still more to learn or cooler stuff I have yet to find. I'm open to suggestions to make my transition into blogging easier.
Most of the people reading this for awhile will probably be friends or family, so I'm not sure if an introduction and background is necessary. I'm Brandi. A wife, a mother, and a recent college graduate. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom to our daughter Amara (20 months old). Since my husband has orders to Italy currently, I'm not able to go on and get a job. I got my degree in social sciences with a focus in education hoping to teach. Unfortunately, I am unable to do my student teaching overseas putting me at a stand still. I do not at all mind getting to say home with Amara though. It's precious time I know a lot of working moms wish they had when their little ones were this age. By the time we get moved back to the U.S., Amara will be about ready for preschool. I'm thinking in theory this will be easier on me to start working again. I'm sure it won't be though.
I'm attempting to change us over to a more natural/green lifestyle. As we us up products, I've been finding DIY recipes or better options. For example, we don't use dryer sheets anymore. Rather we have wool dryer balls. When my Degree deodorant ran out, I bought a natural, plant-based deodorant instead. I'm sure products along these lines will be reviewed and brought up on here frequently since this is an ongoing transition.
I'm also just starting to dabble in natural and mineral makeups. I didn't learn as a teen how to apply make up. I didn't wear any makeup in high school. I just had some lip gloss and nail polish on to go to prom, and even on the day I got married (not that we had a fabulous fancy wedding at the JOP). I got the urge to start learning though recently and have been buying products here and there to sample. I've got some new goodies coming in probably this week I'm excited to try out.
I suppose that's enough babble for now! I've got some projects coming up, so plenty of ideas. Hopefully I'll keep this blog kept up!
