Here we go.

The quick and dirty rundown is as follows: My name is Hope and I am embarking on the great adventure known as being a stay-at-home mom, a housewife, a home-maker. I never took home economics, but I’m a dedicated student, and if I know me (and I do) I am certain to go head first into each lesson, project and home-cooked meal (slipping, spilling and laughing all the way.)

My family and I live in a tiny mountain town in Colorado, and since the addition of our second baby daughter in March 2016, I have found myself without a paying job for the first time since I was 14. I am 30-something now so needless to say, there’s a learning curve happening.

After floundering for a couple of months (or 5) and living in pajama pants (the leopard print kind), I purchased a day planner, started penciling in play dates for my kids, doctor’s appointments, preschool schedules, meal plans AND assignments for myself. I decided to get something going that was just for me, like a blog (ta-da!) and record my experiences as I set forth to conquer this new phase of life.

I invite you now to join me in my very own corner of the universe and peer into my life, The Fancy Elephant Life.
