Today’s Homemaker

Meet Annika (isn’t that a glorious name?). You may remember her for that fabulous diapering post that was featured in the Carnival of Modern Home Dwelling. She is quite fabulous. Quite. I love her sense of humor and original style. She blogs over at Through the Looking Glass where she utterly amazes us all with her crafty, witty self. I asked her to give us a little blurb about herself, and here’s what she sent:

I’m a pioneer girl in the big city. I live in a three room apartment in Los Angeles where I cook, bake, knit, sew, and container garden while raising my toddler son and dreaming of building a ranch in the high desert. I am married to the love of my life who is also my writing partner and the father of my child. When we are not planning the ranch we write screenplays and pulp fiction.

Doesn’t she absolutely rock? And I’ll let you in on a secret. Annika is an incredible visionary, and she has come up with a load of fabulous ideas for Today’s Homemaker. Her passion for all things cool and domestic is a perfect fit for what I originally intended this place to be, and I know you’ll love her. We haven’t made any solid decisions yet, but we will be sure to keep you posted when we do. In the meantime, she’s going to be blogging here, and she has some wonderful plans lined up.

And the first cool thing? She has created a flickr group just for us! (Wait a minute…I don’t know if I was supposed to spill the beans yet. But I just thought you’d be as excited as I am!) So head on over and post and chat and do whatever people do in flickr groups! You see, because I am not quite cool enough to know exactly what goes on in such places. But she totally is.

You’ll be hearing more from Annika in the next couple of days, so be sure to give her a warm welcome! (You see, we’re both southern at heart and we like that sort of thing.)
