Oh my gosh. If you look over to the right under "Inspirations" that is where I have been the last few days. Not here! Not blogging on my little page of cyberspace. There are so many incredible women out there doing so many great things with their homes, lives, selves and families! My head is spinning! Right now I am over on "Kandee the Make-Up Artist's" site. She is adorable and gives some really fun and never would of thought of that tips. You might check it out. Check any of them out. I just adore them all! YAY for the internet and clever-smart girls!!
No one is reading this blog yet because I haven't really done anything worth shouting from the rooftops. But I have to sneak in that I am listening to my little Sugar Bear in dreamy dream land. Have you ever heard your baby/child laugh in their sleep? It is THE most wonderful sound. It's like the first sip of a silky double chocolatey hot chocolate and the whip cream tickled your nose. Only instead of your nose, your baby tickles your heart. You just have to smile and smile big!
Namaste

A Long Row To Hoe! Am I! Oh My!
Oh I LOVE this blogging! Not because I am even a remotely talented blogger but because of the journey that has just begun! I have found so many AMAZINGLY INSPIRING bloggers and I feel myself really beginning to "wake up!"
It is such a crazy, scary, good feeling! It's like a little girl in me is waking up and saying, "Finally! You're going to listen to me for yourself!
I think I am going to join a gym now too!! And my hubby might go with me! Yay! (He just called to say Hi and I ran it by him and he was interested!! Whee!) Getting healthy inside and outside and in the home!
*BREATHE*
The project I decided to take on right away is the house. It is a clutterfest and doesn't bring the happy, joyous feeling to me and my family that it could and should. I can't decide where to start. Part of the big problem. But I'm leaning towards the living room and dining room and kitchen. Sounds like a big task. And it is. The very first thing I need to do is get past that sentence and just jump in! I took some pictures but not sure if I'm brave enough to post them yet. Maybe when I have an "after" shot to go with. :)
Oh! I think I will join this crafting class too! It will go so jolly with the sewing class. Woo hoo!!

The Maiden Post
It's a big deal putting that first post on a fresh new blog. My middle of the night inspirations and great ideas germinating in the shower have taken their leave and this is a bit intimidating!
This is my third blog. My first blog started as a means to chart my first pregnancy and keep in touch with friends and family along the way. I moved 3,000 miles away from everyone I knew about 3 years ago and since multi media has been a tremendous resource. The second blog was to chart my second pregnancy but that ended at nine and half weeks about seven and a half weeks ago and I haven't had the heart to pick up that blog. Though I tried to, it had an energy around it while beautiful in some manner but also harboring a darkness that I need to walk through and not stay in. So here I am at blog number three!
Gingerbread Goddess will be my journey into the very thing I love most my family. I am married to a wonderful man and we have a beautiful son. My priorities at this moment are raising & educating my son and fostering a strong and enduring family. Like many other bloggers my focus will be to navigate our journey while trying to evolve into a more sustainable and gentle people on our home called Earth.
I'm in a bit of a panic these days. I've become nearly fixated on my son's education. I was a teacher for 16 years. You would think I'd have a handle on it. But I don't! I'm not sure at all how I feel about the public school system and I have found a great love of Waldorf & a bit of Montessori. If I had the funds I would start my own school, but currently I don't. Although I am considering home schooling more and more each day.
Gingerbread Goddess will begin with tales of my assent into different pedagogies as well as my mini adventures in furthering my personal education as well. No, I am not going back to school in any mainstream sense, but I am going to start learning new things to hopefully live better and feel better. I'll be lugging my gorgeous 60lbs sewing machine to a sewing class next Tuesday! My husband brought it home for me about 3 years ago when all I wanted to do was make cloth diapers. Ahh... I digress. (I do that A LOT!) I can't wait for that class to begin! In the meantime I'll be working on holiday crafts and trying out new recipes. I can't cook at all. I'm pretty much a former single/workaholic/overachieving/teacher/animal rescuer/recluse. I survived on Starbucks and cereal and the occasional In-N-Out. Fast forward 3 years and I am in a house (not a classroom), living with TWO boys (What?!), I'm far away from my Mom, my sister and my bestest friends. It's been a rocky ride but the best adventure I have EVER been on!
If anyone besides me is actually reading this, thank you so much for for taking the time to stop by! I hope we get to know each other and swap lots of great ideas and good laughs! Here we go!!!
