Little Black Dress meets ... a pile of soiled laundry

Let me first say that this has been a long time in the making, but nonetheless, here we are.

Welcome to Cashmere & Carrotsticks (C&C), where Little Black Dress meets a pile of soiled laundry. So happy you could join me.

What I hope to achieve with C&C is a blog with topics that women juggling multiple roles and identities can relate to. Right now in my life, I often feel conflicted and torn between two roles – woman and stay-at-home Mom. Some of you may question why a stay-at-home mom and woman are two different roles … what I mean to explain is the conflict between feeling “womanly” and being the practical, dressed in grubs, showered some days, errand doer – Mom. So this blog will have a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde personality – some days posting topics and thoughts on girly, “womanly” stuff and other days, posts on the nit and grit of life at home. We will see how it evolves. Here goes …

(p.s. I am still learning about all things “blog” so cut me some slack if the first few posts and weeks are a bit rough around the edges or lacking all the fancy widgets and links. I wanted to get some posts up and will be updating the site as I go.)
