Today is Friday, June 22, and I am excited to start my very own blog! I’ve been dreaming of blogging for a while, and now I feel like I am ready to start. English is not my first language (it is Russian), so please bear with me. 🙂

I came to the United States seven years ago. And I must say that it took me a while to get used to everything here. By “everything” I mean Everything: people, weather, food, money, measurements, etc. In fact, I still change thermometer in my car to Celsius degrees sometimes. I was born and raised in Moldova. It’s a small country between Romania and Ukraine. I have nothing against people in Moldova, but I have to say that only here, in the United States, I’ve learned that it is okay to smile to people and just be nice. In the States, it is not a luxury to have your own car, and it’s not normal to be without hot water at home… I could give more examples about the differences between here and there, and I probably will in the future. But for now, let me tell you the purpose of this blog.

I am a stay at home mommy to two cute children, and a wife to a wonderful husband. I consider myself a creative person, and there are many things I enjoy doing. I love fashion, shopping, photography, cooking, decorating, drawing, scrapbooking, and creating new things. So I believe that having this blog will help keep the creative side of me going. In addition to that, a year or so ago I got into couponing, and learned that it can be fun to save money, not only to spend.

I will be homeschooling my 5 year-old daughter in just a few months, so we will have many interesting projects to post too.  All of this and even more I would like to include on this website.

Who knows, this blog may become our family treasure chest for many years to enjoy and more…
