FOREVER MY MOM'S APPRENTICE!

I’m the new girl on the blogging scene!  For those that know me, they would tell you that I have the ‘gift of the gab’ and I just love talking about everything and anything! I particularly love to talk and share about all things that have to do with the domestic part of life.  There is never a quiet or dull moment when I'm around; I’m a true lover of life, and whatever I do, the fun seems to follow.  I have lots to say obviously! I have a ton of useful/fun little facts that I love sharing with anyone who'll listen! In a nutshell, I'm both trendy and domestic, hence the name: “The Trendy Domestic”.  In my 30 years, (what’s that you say?  I don’t look a day over 21?  Why, thank you!), I have learned to do a little bit of anything and everything by taking notes from all the fabulous women in my life, and I’m going to share all I have learned with you!  

At a young age, I was very lucky to unknowingly be my mom's apprentice in life! My mother has always been a huge inspiration to me, so huge, that "MOM" is just too ordinary (and common)....so we call her “Big Red”. With a heart of gold, larger than life personality...and FIRE red hair, the oh-so appropriate nickname was giver to her, during the early years of my apprenticeship!  You’ll hear me refer to her from time to time as she's the one who taught me many of my domestic skills since I was her little ‘apprentice’ growing up. I followed her around the house attempting to help her with anything she had to do... particularly in the kitchen. I was always willing to give a helping hand...why? Well... because I was bored at the time and had nothing better to do! LOL...  Little did I know, filling my time by helping out my Big Red would really give me all the knowledge I would later need in life to be... well... be a SUPER WIFE! :) One of the most amazing things about Big Red, and this likely rings true for most mom’s, was that she just knew how to do everything.  No Google or books (or blogs :P) to refer too...Big Red just knew! Need your hem fixed? She's there with her needle and thread. Sore neck? She'd reach for the wool sock. Spilt your grape juice? (When you're 6 it's grape juice, nowadays, it would be red wine in this scenario). She'd make it so that no one would ever know that purple liquid had ever touched the white carpet.  Only 10 minutes to make dinner? Done! Fix an overflowing toilet? Yep, she could fix that too! How do moms just know this stuff??? This was the question I asked myself many, many times, when I first left home......Pre-wifey title of course! I wasn't out of the house long before I realized that Big Red was simply using the household tips, tricks, and skills passed on from generations of fabulous women that she grew up learning from! She was an apprentice too!!!  

Moms have oodles of domestic knowledge right there in front of you...100% free of charge....if you were paying attention!  :)  Well.....Luckily for us...I WAS!  That's why I am here...I will offer you the same deal I got.... 100% free of charge...if you're paying attention!  :)  I can’t wait to start sharing all of my tips and tricks to the domestic trade with all of you! 

Thanks for being followers.... :) I appreciate it more than you will ever know!   Looking forward to sharing. 

The Trendy Domestic
