About me

Introduction	I cook badly, clean rarely, delegate expertly, and generally fake my way through keeping house. Don't get me wrong -- I'm actually a relatively awesome wife and mother, if I do say so myself. I just missed the memo when they were handing out home-making genes. I don't notice clutter until I lose something in it. I've never "styled" a "dessert table" (my guests are lucky if I move the Duncan Hines brownies out of the pan and onto a plate). And I think I can safely say that my kids will never wear a handmade Halloween costume, unless of course they want to dress as an indeterminate pile of fabric. HBH is for the other women who have come to terms with the fact that they'll never be Pioneer Woman or Martha Stewart or even, like, the cake pop lady. I'll be sharing whatever tips I find that help me look like a pretty okay housewife, or at least like someone who does a decent impression of a pretty okay housewife. Oh, and it'll probably be pretty heavy on the recipes. That's because eating is something I do every day -- unlike, say, laundry or brushing my hair.
