About Me

My name is Erin. I always thought I wanted to be an attorney--and after a decade of working in the legal field as a legal assistant, then a paralegal, and then a law clerk, I finally became one! But after getting married to a sailor in the Navy, I took an indefinite sabbatical from the practice of law and spent over two years as a stay-at-home wife, trying to conquer cooking, baking, canning, crafting, sewing, cake decorating, couponing, stockpiling, and organizing, among other things. My husband has since left the Navy and joined the Air National Guard, and I have now returned to the practice of law, but I miss my days at home and eventually hope to leave the law entirely and focus on being a wife to my Staff Sergeant and mom to my beautiful little baby girl, Abe (not her real name).

My goals in creating this blog are to share my adventures in homemaking, to make some new friends, to learn some new things, and perhaps to encourage and even inspire others. I hope you will enjoy what I write here, that you will share your own ideas and experiences, and that we will grow individually and as online friends.
