I thought it time that I finally act on my idea of starting a blog to record some of the happenings around the Richards residence as well as share some of the things I’ve learned about running the house and family.

I’ve always been interested in the skills people attribute to homemakers. I’ve been sewing, washing laundry, cooking, crocheting, cleaning (yuck), and ordering people around for a long time. I remember being frustrated during my freshman year of college when I had to declare a major because I already knew that all I wanted from life was to be a mom and take care of my family. It took a few years to find the right guy who supported that life goal and a few years beyond that for me to be able to quit my day job but I love what I do today.

Things I am good at: Telling people what to do, remembering where things are kept, finding recipes my family will enjoy, loving my boys

Things I don’t do well: Dust the house, deal with bugs or spiders, part with any sentimental object, take out the trash in a timely manner.

I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be posting here but I’m excited to start!
