Who Am I?

So who is tastefortiki anyway? I am a stay-at-home mom of two struggling to find "my place" in this world. Seven years ago I was a single mother in the workforce making a good living. I thought I had my life all planned out. But things changed. First for the worse, then for the better. I quit my "safe" job due to a change of ownership and for two years supported myself and son via other means. After a crazy couple of years, I met the father of my daughter and became a stay-at-home mom. I thought it was going to be easy. Not so. I absolutely adore my kids and cherish the time I get to have with them. However, I was not prepared for losing a sense of myself and what my ultimate goals were. I've dealt with a mass amount of weight gain, depression, and stagnancy of creativity. This blog is my project. It's a quest to find myself again and solidify what my aspirations are - a kind of road map to get back on track. I've also been inspired to create this blog to help others find budget friendly solutions for their design desires. This blog is a work in progress, as am I, and I hope I can contribute something of value to this crazy world.
