Last month marked 12 years since I started this blog. 12 years! Freaking crazy. I wrote my first post on February 13, 2011 without any intention of it becoming a thing. I would have laughed in your face if you told me that 12 years later I would still be plugging away at it and still thoroughly enjoying it. I've always blogged pretty casually, writing a post when I have something to write about and time to write it, and never forcing myself to stick to a schedule or post at a certain frequency. …

The Most Embarrassing Post I’ve Ever Written
Three years ago today I started Domestic Imperfection. For the first two blogiversaries I put together giveaways as a thank you to my readers for all the support.

I thought ya'll might be interested to see, so here we go! This is the outside of our building. It's an old converted schoolhouse in a tiiiiny village a few miles outside of Fort Drum.

The First Post
The plan is to make this blog about all things domestic. Cooking, cleaning, organization, home decorating....except that I'm not that great at cooking. And cleaning is something I have no room to give advice on. I'm okay at organization; I like organizing things but have a hard time keeping them that way. Home decorating...now that I can do. Decorating on a budget is the best kind, the less you have to spend the better. That kind of decorating requires creativity and leads to a home that …
