I am a Southern-born girl now living in the Midwest. I am an artist’s wife and a stay-at-home mom to two sweet, sticky children. B.C. (before children), I was a professional librarian and amateur violinist. Now, in addition to my mommage, I am a tai chi afficianado and burgeoning scrapbooker. I am still trying to figure out how all of these things fit back together into the puzzle that is the enigma that is me.
I keep looking for a real picture of me to use in an avatar. But the avatar’s hair looks better and her glasses never get a glare on them. So, for now, here’s a glimpse of the real me with the fam:
This is neither here nor there, but I have recently become in love with the name Lainey. Also I have always lived in the Midwest (except for a brief, unfortunate stay on the East Coast) and wouldn’t live anywhere else. Hope you don’t miss the South too much.
Hey – thanks for the link to the concert t-shirt etiquette forum! It was a delight. And your vote helps a lot – I think ‘grown-up’ is the better look…I’ll save the t-shirt for another record store appearance (that’s where I got my first one signed).
Love the comments you’ve been leaving, and I enjoy reading your posts, too.

I was also a librarian BC, or rather, I graduated from library school six weeks before becoming a Mom. I never bothered applying for any professional librarian positions, and have yet to regret it (even though I loved my time working in libraries).
Glad to have found your blog.
I was born and raised in the Midwest; then lived in Georgia for about 6 years. I miss it, but am back in the mitten (Michigan) again and it’s a great place to raise kids. Hopefully you are having the same experience in the midwest..
Lainey,
Hi…found your blog today via the Fall Y’all Giveaway. I absolutely love your blog name, and I’ve loved visiting here tonight. I’ll be back!
Hi!
Hey, I tagged you for a weird things meme – I realize now I never did the one you tagged me for (middle name); I’m so ashamed…But I will get on that!
Hope your Thanksgiving was delightful
take care
Hey — I didn’t want to reply to your other post…not because I wouldn’t love something made by you, but because I’d be so dang intimidated to make stuff for other people!!!
Just wanted to say “hi” and welcome back…
And the lenten fast sounds like a great thing. (When you figure that balance out? Please let me know.
)
Blessings to you…
Lainey,
I’ve misplaced your email address. I’d like to pick your brain about violin lessons for my boy. When you have time, can you email me? Are you on Facebook? I am, look me up, please?
