Who is this chick and why is she in the kitchen?

I am a suburban wife and momma. I love my family and try to get them to eat their veggies, I strive to keep our house clean, prevent diseases, add to our savings, keep up with fashion, save our planet, be a good role model, stop cussing, encourage everyone to try new things.....
Sound familiar? As women we try to be super heroes. I am always striving toward self-improvement. It can take on various forms from decorating the front room to designing a deck off the back door or maybe learning how to have a bit of grace and tact in my friendships. In conversations with friends I find that we often trade bits of advice that we pick up along the way and I started to realize that maybe I should start documenting these bits.
I am the chick, Katy, and we are the in the virtual kitchen. So pour a cup of joe and let's get to it. I'll post topics that I find interesting, maybe a little tip and we can share. No topic is off limits and if there is something you want to share, ask or just point, out please do. This is a forum for us, the adventurous suburbanites.
