The Emergence of Metropolitan Housewife

A new year, a new blog.  The emergence of the Metropolitan Housewife has been a slow process- conceptualized last fall, created ages ago, and finally coming to fruition this very moment.  Most of what I put up here will be for selfish reasons- catharsis, documentation for my kiddos, and the opportunity for prospective business partners (and possibly family and friends who may choose to check in here) to get to get to know me on a more personal level.  So.  Who am I?

I Am:

-36 years old (as of last weekend!)

-A Post-punk, know-it-all, Aetheist, alternative lifestyle bar tender & body piercer who has mellowed out and has been "Born Again"

-A well-educated (OVER-educated, perhaps) Post Grad SpEducator-turned-Work-At-Home-Mom 

-Passionate about serving my God and my Family 

-A Christian, An Entrepreneur, Teacher, Home business coach

-A volunteer for Bulldog Rescue

-A Maker of "stuff"

-Someone who strives to live the heck out of life for the short time I'm here, and hopefully leave some things behind that will postively impact others after I'm gone
