Confessions of a Working Mom!

Just a month ago I was moving my business home.  Biggest reason  to home school my son.  We have now done 3 weeks and he is doing great.  His personality has changed back into an 8 year old son and not a 12 year old know it all!  I love being with him. 

My house was some what of wreck being away from home so much with having a brick & mortar store.  My house suffered a lot.  Then I downsized from 2300 sq ft showroom and warehouse to my 1800 sq ft house!  I needed to make a paint room in my basement.  Turn my third bedroom in to home office/school room.  Let's just say I was a little overwhelmed.  Boxes where in every room of the house.  Shuffling and moving things around made things look worst at first.

I'm actually going to show you pictures of some disaster areas.  Why? I think it is important to be truthful about being a working mom.  Sometimes it's not so pretty and that's okay.  Creating is a part of my soul that I can't live with out.  It like water to a parched soul for me.  I wouldn't be as good of a mom if I didn't have some outlets of my own.   Without further ado here are some pictures of my unorganized life getting organized.

                                                                          After

I'm creating spaces in my home where I can create a space that inspires me everyday!  It's been a bit slower than I wanted but slow and steady wins the race.  Tattered Butterfly Design is going to live in on even with all of it's transitions. :)

P.S. I will be doing a tutorial soon with the dresser/bookcase in my office/homeschooling room.

Daniel Dae Kim's Hawaii Home for Sale




Daniel Dae Kim of the recent Hawaii Five-O fame and previous Lost fame is selling his Honolulu Luxury Home. Located at 4780 Aukai Avenue and listed for $2,430,000, the non-Hawaii Born actor, famous for his roles filmed in Hawaiian Locations such as the aforementioned TV productions, hasn't commented on his recent listing as to whether it's a flip or a move out of state.

Mr. Kim's property sale sparks questions about the longevity of the remade Hawaii Five-O which airs on CBS Monday nights. Mr. Kim recently sold his stake in a local burger joint located in Kahala, which adds to the mystery. Regardless, no factual information is evident in regards to the situation surrounding Mr. Kim's sale of Hawaiian stake. Considering the show's strong success in its time slot, I think it's safe to say the two topics are unrelated.

Creating is something that is who I am.  So as I learn to balance these to areas of my life, I keep hearing ...... 

Keep Calm and Carry On
