Never in my wildest dreams (and I am a dreamer) did I think I would end up becoming a Mum! I never thought of it while I was younger (perhaps I just thought that getting married would lead to kids). In the past few years, I thought I would be fine not to have a child. I'd resolved that I was too selfish and had too many plans. So....a little gamble and here I am with a 6.5 month old little man sound asleep (for now) as I write my first post for this blog.
This is the third attempt at a blog and I realize that theme-ing (that's not a word, but we'll go with it) a blog helps! So, my first unthemed blog was merely an exploration into this world and was eventually tossed. The second blog, sewcraftymummy.blogspot.com is on hold in fact because I found out that it is hard to be 'sew crafty' and be a new mummy. However, scheduling the babe helps me find time. I realize that with the babe, I do want to do more and more things (my lists run on and on and on and....). Now, I want to share them with him.
So, that's why we're here with the third blog, Artsy Fartsy Mummy. Simply a self designated title that I hope suggests that I am artsy (both a creator and lover) and a bit fartsy - simply to suggest that I am fun and full of whimsy.
The purpose for this blog was inspired by Erica Ehm's Yummy Mummy Club. In my before baby life, I would troll galleries, buy art supplies and feed my stashes of fabric, yarns, etc. I thought that I would have to put my city ventures on hold because of baby. In fact, I don't. I just have to strategically and creatively schedule! And be organized. And have a stash of Baby Mum Mums on hand!
So, this blog is meant to show that one can be a Mummy and still connect culturally with her city - with baby and without (when I'm ready).
