Call Me Emily: Jack of all trades, Master of none.

Call Me Emily: Jack of all trades, Master of none. 

You know the dreaded bio blog? The one where you learn about the blogger and decide if continuing to follow their posts is worth your effort. Yes, this is that one post! 

Can I just interject that I want you all to know who I am and what kind of person I am? Also, I would really love for you all to follow me on my Lula Roe journey (hence this blog) knowing who I am as a person. Where I come from in life and where I want to go in life (that will all not be in this one post, if it were you would be reading a novel).

If you haven't already noticed I have a sense of humor and I enjoy to type to my readers the way that I speak. Yes, I am an English Lit major and no that probably doesn't translate very well in to my blog thus far. My hope is that you as the readers get to know what kind of person I am through what I am saying and in a way that I would say it in person. Not some formal mumbo jumbo of a blog that would make you want to run far far away to never return. (Please come back!)

Lets be real, I am a (not so perfect) mother of 4 children. I have no claim to fame as the greatest mother on earth. I try and I honestly feel like that is what counts as a parent. If you love your kids and try your hardest to teach them to be respectable adults you are accomplishing parenting. Is it easy to parent 1, let alone 4? NO! My kids are all completely different beings, with their own unique personalities. They fight, they yell, they are hormonal, and they are also the most loving creatures I have ever had the greatest experience of mothering. The best lesson I have ever learned in life is that you must learn and grow with your children.  

Similarly, I feel like marriage is the same thing. I was once told that you could be married to someone your entire life and truly never know them. There has never been a more true statement. Every day is a new day that we learn new things about each other. Is my marriage perfect? NO, but I would not change my spouse or trade him for anything. We laugh, we cry (not Anthoney, because "men don't cry"...or do they?), we learn, we fight, we work together, we live together, we parent together, and most of all we love each other no matter what. The overall theme of our relationship is "we" not "I." That is what works for us, not that every relationship must be mapped out the same, this is just what works for us.

Arts and crafts! Did you just say arts and crafts? Two of my favorite words in the entire world. Yep, I am one of those creative souls that is just naturally crafty. I wish sometimes that I wasn't because then I wouldn't have this need to be creative. Not everything I do is a masterpiece, but it is that feeling that I created something that makes me happy. I see this same capability in my children. They love to participate and be creative. However, I don't quite have the time that I would like to set and let the creative juices flow. 

You may wonder where I fit in the time for friends and time with extended family. It is quite the task, but I do have a handful of some of the greatest friends a girl could ask for. We are those people that could not talk to each other all the time and when we do get together we talk like we never skipped a beat. Those are the people that everyone needs in their life. They are there when I need them and I am here when they need me.  

Basically, in a nutshell this is me and my crazy life. I am a jack of all trades, and definitely a master of none. 

Stay tuned for why I chose LulaRoe in the next post.
