Hi Friends!
It's me, Sarah, the other side of The Blog Guidebook and Beautify My Blog! Thank you so much for joining Lyndsay and me on our adventure into the blogosphere...we are having tons of fun reading all your blogs and getting to know you.
A little bit about me: I'm forty-ish, a mother to three lovely daughters ages 2 1/2, 5, and 19, just moved to the midwest from So Cal, and I love to garden, decorate, take photos, make jewelry, cook and bake, shop at garage sales (which are awesome here!), flea markets, antique malls and thrift stores. I've been known to love Target too, of course. It's been interesting learning to adjust to life with two young daughters, and one far away in college, a husband not working from home, a large home to care for(we went from 900 sq.ft. to 2400 sq.ft. - that's big to me!), snow in the winter and heat and humidity in the summer, and being away from friends and family. But I can definitely see that I will love this place, especially with blogging as my companion, it will all work out! My personal blog is www.differentdog.com (named after my little schnauzer who is a bit different...), where you can read about my travails in home decorating, shopping, health, business start-ups and my favorite things.
Lyndsay and I have had several requests to tell how we got started together...we will save that for another day...hee hee.
