New Mom

I wanted to be a career women.  I was an over zealous, money focused, successful business women in my twenties.  I had imagined myself looking like the women I always saw on E News wearing a stylish suit, carrying a cute and feminine briefcase and sitting behind a desk with a well paid job on my way to a high paid career.  Well, aside from wearing suits I had begun to accomplished my goal. Sure! I was going to have a family one day, But I would hire a nanny to care for my kids.  It sure as hell would make vacationing a lot easier!

And then my husband I decided to get pregnant and EVERYTHING changed.

Priorities change everyday but I had never experienced anything as difficult as the day I walked in to tell my boss I would not be returning after I had my child.  He had stolen my heart.  How could I let someone else care for him?  I know people do it all the time, but honestly those women are a lot stronger than I am.  I give them all the credit in the world.

Being the career oriented, need for speed, can't sit for more than 2 seconds kind of person that I am I started to become restless in my new SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) routine.  I needed a hobby.

Looking at the Post pregnancy hips that my son had lovingly given to me I decided that I would make cooking my new hobby.  The days of frozen vegetables, pizza, carry out and what not were over.  Now, I had time to cook!

My one rule....there are no rules!  I have never been the conventional type. I do things my own way and therefore am able to express my creativity.

This blog is going to be an extension on my hobby.  I'm going to share the different meals I make for myself, my husband, my son and so forth.  There will be no specifics...I eye ball everything!  Even laundry detergent when I'm cleaning!

Break the Rules and Taste the Yum!!
