I found myself deep in thought on New Year's Eve this year. With a new house full of friends, some glasses of bubbly, and a huge turkey that we roasted, I couldn't help but feel profoundly grateful. I realized that I don't need much but I will always need this. I will always need to have family and good friends around, and to host them the best way I know how. And hey, a glass of bubbly never hurts either :)
As we become more settled into our new home, the more I want to entertain. I find myself sneaking invites into casual conversation now more than ever. Somehow I end up inviting friends over for impromptu Italian Feasts and relishing every minute of the time we're all together. I want to fill this house with family and friends and make it a home for me and Mr. It's an odd sensation really.
I think this feeling has really helped me solidify an idea for a business that I have been kicking around for a while. Originally it started as something I might want to do once we have kids. Something to make a little extra money and fulfill me creatively. Then I started thinking; why should I wait until we have kids to get this little fledgling off the ground? I'm pretty sure the strenuous task of caring for little ones wouldn't lend itself to a successful first business launch!
So I'm sure in the coming months you'll see more on this front. I'm pretty determined to make it as painless as possible, as this is meant to be a creative outlet for me first and foremost. Making a little money from a creative outlet sounds like perfection to me so I'll do my damnedest to make that work. Since I will still be working my regular day job this will start out small and hopefully grow enough that it could buy us some diapers when that time comes :)
