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 what helped me coming up
with the name Mending Treasures. You see, I find 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.
As a thrifta-nista and bargain goo-rue, I find it
hard to simply 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 or spit-shine!
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-& friendships; lost and found trinkets
and treasure, including DIY projects to improve and make our homes pretty; Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Interventions for children with special needs, including functional inexpensive
activities for any child; healthy living with workouts-mindfulness
techniques-and most importantly recipes of good eats; uplifting spiritual
material; and so much more. Overall, these are "treasures" in my life that I find constantly can be improved, re-shaped, restored in some way. I truly believe that we all secretly always seek ways to improve these "treasures" in our lives daily.
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 a
Occupational Therapist with kiddos with special needs and well, so much more.
