Who I am...and what I hope to share?

My name is Megan King, and I am a stay at home mom living in Southern NH with my husband, Matt, our three kids, and a menagerie of pets, including a 120 pound dog, a perpetually hungry cat, a gecko, and three chickens. I adopted (maybe stole) the term "domestic engineer" from a PA that I saw several years back for an ankle injury. It had such a ring to it...dressing up the overused title of "homemaker"!

Once upon a time I wrote copy for a small children's clothing catalog and enjoyed it very much. Before that, in a galaxy far, far away, I managed a restaurant. After our oldest daughter was born in 2002 I stayed home with her, leaving my copy writing days behind. In 2005 we welcomed a son, followed by a second girl in 2007.  Starting a blog about the trials and tribulations of raising three kids is always something I have been interested in, but I've been waiting for the kids to reach school age...foolishly thinking that I would have more time at that stage in our lives. I know- what a silly girl I am! A writing class that I took last year reminded me of how much I enjoyed and missed writing, so I decided to give this a go. Since I am relatively certain "having more time" isn't something I should hold out for in the near future...there's no time like the present.

With all that spare time that no one actually has I enjoy gardening, cooking, walking, and DIY projects around the house. I am always out for a bargain and LOVE to read online reviews before making major purchases. I hope to be able to pass along some of my own reviews, interests, ideas, things we've tried, made or done, and how it worked out for us. If you like what you see, feel free to check back in...there is never a dull moment at the King house!
