An introduction is in order.

I started this little blog project because I'm wanting to document my strange new journey in to domesticity. I've always considered myself something of a feminist and always believed that I was terrible at any type of domestic activity: cooking and cleaning mostly but also sewing and other such things. It didn't help that the women in my family are all domestic divas, next to them I was a talent-less slob that managed to burn even hot pockets.  But since I got engaged and moved into an apartment across the street from my fiance (more or less a coincidence, though we knew we were both going to live in the same apartment complex because they are the only apartments we know of that allow pets and I couldn't stand the idea of parting with my beloved Schnauzer )  Since we live so close together it isn't uncommon for my fiance, his roommate and me to pool our resources. We are all struggling college students and since I am the only one that doesn't work for now I take on a lot of the household responsibilities. Since then I've found I actually great at these things or so people keep telling. I'm apparently a natural caregiver and housekeeper. Who knew? This blog will be part cooking, part week to week guide on how we are learning to embrace or fairly simple but also fantastic lives.
