ABOUT

I'm Miriam,

​

After quitting my high stress job, I started working part-time from home.  With the additional hours in my day, I was going to "take care of the house" I live in with my husband Brian, and our dog Frank.  Unfortunately, it turns out that I very much do NOT enjoy homemaking. Nonetheless, here is a house and I am in it.  So I do my best.  Sometimes the things I do work great!  Sometimes they just weren't worth the time.  Sometimes they are unmitigated disasters.  

​

My friends have told me I have something to contribute to the virtual, veritable cacophony of perfect Pinterest pages and shiny crafts.  I like taking pictures and doing something that isn't my all the time job.  So here we are.

​

The half-assed homemaker is a place where good enough is good enough.  I try things I see online, I mess around with recipes, I make it up as I go along.  There is laundry that needs to be folded, the dog wants to go for a walk and I maybe forgot to vacuum again, but I made cookies and they're pretty magical. 

 

This is real life, my life, with commentary.  I won't promise that I won't paint myself in the absolute best light I can, but I will try to keep myself honest. There may be politics, there may be swearing, there may be long periods when I don't post. But would you expect more from the half-assed homemaker?
