About Brooke

        Being Brooke (thats me) is a full time job!  It requires mandatory round the clock maintenance and overtime.  Being Brooke requires being a wife, being a mother, a disciplinarian, a playmate,  a friend, the good neighbor, a member of the PTA, a homemaker, a cookie baker, the booboo healer, money making entrepreneur, girls night organizer, date night coordinator, budget keeper, the voice of reason, and the one who tells joke that breaks the ice. (Not saying that the jokes are good, but they've always broken the ice. ) These are just a few of the requirements for Being Brooke.
         About Brooke; I am a modern woman, clinging to old fashioned values with a wide variety of interests including cooking, writing, reading, movies, shopping, photography, scrapbooking, crafting, do-it-yourself projects, fashion, family and community.  I have MANY MANY things to be thankful for and a few things I could (and probably will) grumble about.  I am honest, sometimes to a fault. I like the idea of maintaining a healthy life style, but that last peice of cake for breakfast sometimes gets in the way. I love the sunshine, but I dont mind it when it rains. It's a fun way to take a walk or play outside with my daughter. I am overly organized, except when it comes to my clothes closet. I complain to my family about having to go to the market for groceries although I secretly love having that hour to myself to slowly peruse each aisle. 
         So, if the requirements for being Brooke sound like the requirements for being you or any of my hobbies or interest mirror yours, then you are reading friendly text! Go ahead and get your favorite cup of joe, tea or wine, settle in and get ready to read, laugh, commiserate, and share with me the trials and tribulations of being us.
         By the way, my new favorite tea is Arbonne's Herbal Detox Tea. You can find it at www.Arbonne.com It is an all natural herbal tea with a pleasant minty taste. I drink a cup a day. Sometimes two cups a day especially during allergy season. If you have not tried it, I HIGHLY recommend it.

         In my future blogs I plan to share stories, anticdotes, tips, recipes, home remedies, good reads, consumer reports, product reviews, coupon deals, bad jokes and whatever other interests I come across during my busy schedule called LIFE.  I'm looking forward to all the reciprocations on any of these rambling topics of mine.  I'm always looking for ways to improve my life, whether it be finally finding the perfect cheesecake recipe to saving money, stain removal, must see movies and destressing techniques.
