About Me
I’m a highly introverted mom of 5 who follows the attachment style of parenting. I’ve been stay-at-home mom for over 20 years and have lived in 5 different states. I have a bachelor’s degree in accounting will never use it. My obsessions are home decorating, party planning, all things DIY, neurotic cleaning, Quicken, Disney World, rocket launches, and photographing wild animals and children (which are basically the same thing). I decided to start this blog as a way to carry on endlessly about stuff I like doing.
