I’ve always wanted to start a blog and so for one of my goals in the New Year I have made that dream come to fruition. I was never sure what I was going to blog about, but after a lot of contemplation, I decided I would share my creativity. As a mother of three college age kids, I am finding myself with more and more time on my hands. When the children were younger it seems we were always planning a party, barbecue, cookie decorating, cooking contest, gardening day, or family field trip. In those days our neighborhood was packed with little children, lemonade stands, back to school shopping, trick or treat parties and Easter egg hunts.
Now, we have wonderful reunions as the older kids come home from college during breaks and the holidays. As they have gotten older, we still enjoy a family dinner or a family game when everyone is together. It is still just as fun, just different and there is a new exciting anticipation and curiosity as they embark on adulthood.
As I write my first blog, relatives and friends have come and gone. All the red and green decorations are tucked back into storage and I am deliberating on what to cook for New Year’s dinner. My favorite day…. New Year’s Day a fresh and uncluttered beginning to the new year; this year a brand new decade!
The house is quieter, kids are working their holiday jobs, my husband is back at the office and I still have a few more days of my break before going back to work. Daisy Days will be my new year’s activity. I will still test recipes on my family, share crafts with readers and work on new projects.
Through all of life’s stages, no matter the level of crazy in life, my solitude and peace of mind came in the form of being creative. For that reason, I decided to blog about the peace and joy I have found in creating. I still sew, needlecraft, crochet, cook, garden, preserve and can, paint, refinish furniture and the list goes on and on……
I hope you enjoy the blog, perhaps find a creative idea or new recipe. Creating something; whether starting a new project, cooking a meal or making a gift to share with friends and family, makes my heart full. Perhaps you will find that same wonderful feeling in the joy of giving and sharing in Daisy Days.
Daisy Day
