Feeling a Little Rusty

I've been unemployed for nearly seven months now. WOW. But, I still work for "the man." It just so happens the man is my baby boy. Toward the end of my maternity leave, my husband and I sat down and realized it may be an option for me to stay home -- something I hadn't really considered previously. After toying with the idea, I had to make the decision, much like ripping off a band aid, to just do it.

I love love LOVE my little sugar bear, but the decision to stay home and care for him around the clock wasn't easy. I also really loved my job as a public relations and marketing specialist at a small non-profit company, not to mention my coworkers rocked. But, when I became a mother, a new chapter in my life began, and like a book you just can't put down, I couldn't lend my attention anywhere but to my little sugar bear.

Nearly seven months in to motherhood, I am more well-adjusted to his "routine." I've begun to dabble in random crafts around the house and for friends. In addition, I miss utilizing my trained talent to write, design and advise for PR and marketing purposes. With that said, I thought a good place to begin getting my toes wet and further exploring these areas would be to start a blog.

I'm feeling a little rusty. My goal is to share ideas and stories, teach and be taught. Ready for the next chapter in the book of Danielle ... let the blogging begin!
