I am officially starting my blog. It took me a while to come up with a name that made the most sense for my wide variety of passions. I started to think about what I wanted to include in my blogs and I couldn't narrow it down. I knew I wanted my blog to include topics about being a mom, wife and designer. I also wanted to cover my passions for interior decorating, our new house progress, DIY projects, Advocare, recipes, my secrets to snagging the best bang for your buck and so much more.
So... I finally brought up the Thesaurus and typed in the word "Resource". Makeshift was one of the words within a list of probably 20+ and this stuck out to me. "Make" to me can mean creation and DIY. "Shift" can represent a key on a keyboard tying that into my design career. It always together represents me wanting to make a shift into a new direction. "Mom" of course is one of my favorite titles to date.
After going back and forth brainstorming with my friend Tiffany throughout the day. I texted her while sitting at a stoplight on my way home Makeshift Mama and she texted right back and said she literally was just going to text me Makeshift Momma! I knew at the moment that was the name. Unfortunately, the domain for Makeshift Mama and Makeshift Momma was already taken, so that means I am going with Makeshift Mom. After months of trying to figure out a name. I knew this was my sign and to go with it.
My husband and I just created and custom built our new home and this to me is a great new beginning for our little family. We have worked so hard and have been blessed more than words can describe. Most people think this process is stressful, but we took it and ran with it and LOVED every single second of it. We both found new passions and built a great relationship with our builder.
I am ready to take what we discovered this last year and transition that into something GREAT!
