About Me

A little about me can become a lot about me. I like to share and love to talk, so we could be here for awhile. I’ll try to spare you some of the lengthy details and give you the short story.

I am a 30-something woman and mother to two beautiful and children, Mr. C and Miss K. My time is with my children, trying to figure the ins-and-outs of how to raise them in the best way I know how, plus trying to balance work in the process. So far, I have learned there are many bumps along the road, but as a whole, we are working through them.

After 13 years of marriage and many, many struggles, my husband and I separated. He is a wonderful friend, but truly needs to reevaluate the role of a husband. As this is a blog of my life and family, I will share my trials with you concerning my separation from time to time.

I do work full-time in textiles while trying to finish a degree that has been a long time coming. So, my blog is my writing outlet as well. I love to write, but work in a career that doesn’t give me much opportunity to do so. One good thing about my company, they have given me the opportunity to work in a company office twice a week and my home office three times a week.

This transitions to a home office has definitely been a learning point for me. Changing how things are scheduled, working around this or that, and realizing that I have to work, not just do laundry! Another great opportunity with the transition to a home office, it gives me a bit more time to take on freelancing positions as well.

As my outlet, I began to write this blog as my release of just stuff that I needed to get off my chest, so to speak, so that I could understand my past, but grow my future. I like that I am able to share this journey with others, possibly meet those that either can shed some light, or someone that I may offer ideas too.

To round out our family, we share our home with two cats. It sue to be three, but one ran away. All have been rescued in some way. We also have two loud, yet really cute year-old puppies, a mini-doxie and a shih tzu. Our house is full, and it is definitely our home.

I know exactly why my blog is named The Brunette Blog. At the time I began thinking of even doing the blog, I knew that I wanted to include all aspects of my life. I knew it wouldn’t just be about parenting, or animals, or our home, but it would be about me, a woman, a mom, and all the other titles I manage to have, all rolled into one and being brunette helped.

So, here I am. Are you ready?
