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."

Happy New Year!

Do you have any new year resolutions to make housekeeping changes?  Um... Yah I do for sure.  I resolve to get the house de-cluttered and organized.  I resolve to make a dinner plan each week (hmm already failed at this but I believe in second chances... 56th chances...).    There is also... keep the toys organized, keep up with the laundry every week, keep the house "visitor drop-by" ready at all times, try to save money at the grocery store by couponing....  When I look at my list I get a little excited, but I also get a little nervous.  Here is to 2011 and hoping it is the best housewife year ever.  :)
