Hey Ya'll!
There's really not enough lifestyle blogs. So here's another. Juuuuust kidding. There aren't any like mine is what I mean. My hope and dream for this blog is that I may share my life with you. I am a young, southern housewife. I am frugal, old-fashioned, and charming of course. On the outside I look like another 20-something but I love cooking and decorating my home. I live in Texas but I was born in Tennessee. Both of these place have influenced me immensely in both my sense of style and in the kitchen.
I love doing things the old-fashioned way. So much of media these days is designed to sell the "easy" way of doing things. There are a billion chefs showing us how to make things the easiest, quickest ways possible. Personally, that's very smart and yes, it makes you efficient....but you know what it doesn't make you? A better cook. I feel like in cooking every meal you should add on to your repertoire...your skill set. Dare I say it? Every meal should make you BETTER. We are wasting meals on "30 minutes this" or Semi-homemade that." I don't knock these ideas entirely, because they certainly have a place, but it's no way to live. I have used such ideas on occasion, but I've noticed I have no real pride in my meal after doing it the "easy" way. I love serving a meal I am proud of, a product of my time and work. I aim to share what I've learned and as I learn the REAL way to do things. I also love sharing my "easy" recipes that are still homemade and certainly something to be proud of. Not all home-cooked dishes have to be a whole production. :)
I'm also constantly working on my home. Since moving out of my parents home a few years ago and getting to flex my decorating muscles, I've learned it really doesn't have to cost that much (or anything sometimes!) I love decorating my house frugally. Originally it was because I didn't have the money to spend, and now, I just refuse to spend it! I utilize a lot of different resources to do this, which I hope to share with you. I always get compliments on our home, and people are always surprised at the cost. It will certainly take you longer, but with patience and persistence you can decorate your home without sacrificing style! I can honestly say if I went to a major furniture store and purchased things for my home, i would end up with the same things. I have exactly what I want...for a whooooole lot less :)
I look forward to feedback on this blog. We all have great things to share, so I hope to be a medium for that <3
Later Y'all!
