With a tendency to over analyze and over research I've been pouring over some of my favorite blogs trying to answer the question "How do I begin? What should my first post be?" I distracted myself with "designing" my blog all the while telling myself that this was just a beginning design and I can add/change later so I just need to leave well enough alone. So, with that, here I am. Stepping off the ledge. Doing what I've been talking about doing for YEARS.
...
Oh, I'm supposed to say something now?
An introduction: My name is Maggie. I'm 32 and a mama to a beautiful 10 month old boy. I'm sure I'll be talking a lot about him as he is a constant source of inspiration and learning for me. I have a wonderful husband, two badly behaved dogs and an elusive cat. I work a part time day job and the rest of my time is spent ideally on keeping house, doing art, and growing with my son. I prefer green methods of housekeeping whenever possible, I lean towards attachment style parenting but I refuse to be pigeonholed. I love to do yoga but have a problem with talking myself onto the mat. I love to cook but often get bogged down by the state of my kitchen.
It is my hope that I can use this space to share these experiences and focus my energies creatively wisely. To continually grow as a parent, as an artist, and as a person.
Here we go!
