So I'm Blogging



My name is Jamie and this is my new BLOG. "I'm now a blogger!" My idea for a blog has been a long time coming. Coming up with the idea as to what I wanted to blog about is actually what helped me to create the name Mending Treasures.  You see, I have found it very hard to choose one thing or just one idea to blog about. I knew I wanted my blog to be about something I love and find value in. (which is a lot of topics)

As a thrifta-nista and bargain goo-rue, it is simply hard for me not find value in something someone would consider junk. I believe anything can be "Mended." Not just that old piece of furniture found for $8.00 at the DI, but also relationships of all kinds, our health, spirit and emotional well-being can indeed be fixed or improved. All you need is fresh paint around those rough edges!
As I continued to ponder upon my idea for this blog, I decided to look up the definition "Mending." Mend*ing simply is the act of putting something in working order again. Fix, Repair, Restore & Improve are synonyms to follow. These ideas lead me to defining "Treasure,” which is anything or person greatly valued.

As you follow me on my Blog, you will find me discussing topics  about family life-marriage/dating & friendships; lost and found trinkets and treasures, DIY projects; Pediatric Occupational Therapy Interventions for children for typically developing and children with special needs, including functional inexpensive activities for any child (my favorite); healthy living with workouts-mindfulness techniques for all you busy and anxious people out there-and also recipes of good eats; uplifting spiritual material; and so much more. All of these "treasures" I find great value in.  Even those DIY projects that make my heart smile and my home happy.

While I’m not learning about how to be a “Blogger,” you can find me out and about with my hubby Brighton; fixing up and decorating our new old red brick house; making DIY projects; working out; working as an Occupational Therapist with kiddos in the school district  with and without  special needs and well, much more.
