hi! i'm natalie and i am constantly debating whether or not i am a grown up. i mean, i have a husband (who tells me that cookie dough does not count as a meal), a home (with a back yard and mortgage, but not much in the way of decor), and a dog (who requires lots of special attention)... those things require me to be a "responsible adult" - but i don't always feel grown up. this blog chronicles bits and pieces of my adventures growing up.
