My name is Amy, and this blog will be a "domestic diary" of sorts. I am a stay at home mom to two sweet little boys and wife to an amazing (and patient) man (9 years this summer). I am four credits away from earning my masters degree (which is now on hold), and had a career for 10 years before choosing to stay home when my first baby was born in 2007. I want the domestic life, but I'm not that good at it. I would love nothing more than to be the "perfect wife" and the "perfect mother." However I am the furthest thing from that. I really do want to be a Martha Stewart, and would love to be the 2010 version of June Cleaver. I spend too much time on the computer, have a list of organization projects ten miles long, and the dinners I serve leave much to be desired. I have a lot of room for improvement. My goal is to have a good balance so I get to do the things I enjoy like digital scrapbooking, but things at home, like laundry do not get neglected. This blog is the documentation of my adventure in trying to be a better "domestic engineer."

Clutter Rehab

I entered to win a book called "Clutter Rehab." 
I could really use some clutter rehab.  It's not that I have a lot of visible clutter around my house.  I don't have a lot of  nic nacs, and my house doesn't really look too clutter-y.  I only have one little spot that collects paper work, and other than that spot my home looks pretty good.  However I have a lot of hidden clutter.  I'm a closet clutter-er if you will lol.  I am very creative at finding hidden nooks and crannies for my stuff.  I really need to deal with this stuff.  Anyway the book Clutter Rehab sounds like it would be an interesting read for me.  If you'd like to try and win a copy for yourself you can go to this Blog: http://www.homesanctuary.com/rachelanne/2011/07/clutter-rehab.html and enter to win one too!  If you win it and I don't I might have to go buy a copy :)
