Yep, that's me A Doer of the Week with Martha Stewart and the Dreamers into Doers


What an amazing week! I was chosen as a Doer of the Week with the Martha Stewart Dreamers into Doers Group. I am in the category of 52 (or so) amazing women and it is truly an honor and privilege.
To say that I am excited for this honor is a serious understatement. I have wanted "to be" Martha Stewart for MANY Years. I have admired this woman for all that she has stood for, she is the first and true Domestic Goddess. To know that my name and hers can be used in the same sentence, is enough to keep me going for another 38 years.
My love for all things Martha started in 1995, the year that I would start planning my wedding. It was in this year that I bought Martha's Wedding Organizer/Planning Book. I wanted to have my wedding be as perfect as every page in this book, and to me it was. From there on it was Martha in print, all over our apartment. We were not well off, by any means. Bill was a Graduate Student working towards his PHD and I was a Full Time Nanny, finishing up my Psychology Degree. The internet was mainly for strange chat rooms and emailing family and friends-that was all. There was no Google, no MarthaStewart.com, no real surfing the web on our dial up AOL connection. I was left to the library and magazine stands to build my small collection of recipes and "Good Things" from Martha.
Fast Forward to 2008 I start my own business, in 2009 I make a real go of it with my, barely, Part Time business, raise 3 young children, join Dreamers into Doers, and in 2011 get chosen to be the Doer of the Week.
2011 has turned out to be an amazing year thus far, imagining it getting better would truly be gluttony.
I am humbled, and honored to be chosen by Martha Stewart's Company to be a Doer of the Week for the last week of March and the beginning of April. Thank you :)
