Just a Ginger who loves DIY, deals, fashion and photography.

Hi Friends! (In my Ms. Rachel Voice)

Hello! They call me Ginger… I am a mom of 2 beautiful girls, ( toddler and a baby). I am serial hobbyist that’s always been coined Jack ( or Ginger) of all trades. Sadly the name Ginger of all Trades was taken. I actually think by me years ago- but I can’t remember the login. Which reminds me I also have and struggle with ADHD. Being a Mom at home with 2 kids and no “job” at the moment I lack a lot of structure. If you know anyone with ADHD structure is crucial! So part of my journey is starting the morning miracle every morning and writing some glorious blog posts… or so I hope. 

It’s common knowledge that to be successful at blogging one must choose a niche. Part of the reason why it’s taken me so long to do this is because I can’t for the life of me seem to come up with one niche or interest I have. I enjoy SO MANY THINGS! I love home decor. I love anything DIY. I love fashion and thrifting…. ok I REALLY LIKE THRIFTING. I get some sort of high from thrifting and finding gorgeous clothing for less than what a cup for coffee costs. I LOVE photography. I really love photography and have all hopes on fully launching my family and portrait photography business one of these days. I’ve been semi launched for almost 15 years now. It’s time to fully laugh but “Houston we have a problem”. I take amazing photos but for some reason I have this fear of showing them to the world. Weird, I know.. maybe that’s the rejection dysphoria that goes hand in hand with the ADHD? I love good deals. Don’t threaten me with a good coupon code – I will use it. I am dying to write a children’s book. I am trying to lose the last of this baby weight… oh and I am learning how to play tennis. So yeah, welcome to my brain! All these things float around all day and driving me so nuts that I can’t focus on one thing (or any thing really) so I am accomplish nothing. 

Mom life. I love being a Mom. It’s been a dream of mine for so long. More important than any career goal or anything really. However,  I feel like I am on a hamster wheel most days. I clock in around 900 laps around my kitchen island a day. My toddler is not only my Husbands twin, she is obsessed with him. Like really obsessed with him, but it’s all good. Two babies in 3 years and I feel like I’ve aged 30 years. My body ain’t what she used to be. Apparently a ton of women have “Pelvic Floor problems”. So why is it so hard to find a pelvic floor therapist, that accepts insurance, without a 3 month wait,  that is less than a hour away from me? Sigh. I am also exhausted. People ask me what shows I watch when the girls are in bed? Nada. Sleep. I love sleep. More than any new show or movie that I’ve seen before. I plot how I can get both girls to nap at the same time so I can sneak a nap in. Rarely does that work. Of course when my Husband is alone with them, somehow he gets them to nap at the same. I digress. I love my crazy little family and can’t imagine life ever without them. Truly #Blessed. 

Stay tuned for the next episode where I potentially clean my house and take pictures of some beautiful decor things that people always compliment on. XO G
