Well this is embarrasing......

Good evening.

Isn't it sad how life passes by and before you know it over a year goes past and you realise you haven't been informing your adoring blogger fans about your life!

Over a year ago I had the desire to start a blog about my journey towards domestic goddess-ness and have epically dropped the ball since then. It ends tonight!

So without further adieu.....

My name is Aliyah Booth and I am a domestic goddess....in training

This title was thrust upon me several years ago by boys at my school when they discovered my passion for cooking and home making.

So what is a domestic goddess? Well, Aliyah's personal dictionary describes a domestic goddess as a women who embraces all things wonderous. That is, cooking, sewing, gardening, decorating whilst wearing fabulous clothes, shoes, gorgeous hair and make up and a string of pearls!

Throughout the years women have fought for the right to hang up their aprons and hire a home make (i.e. nanny, cook, cleaner, decorator) in order to join their male counterparts in the work force.
This is a wonderful development and I thank my fore-mothers for fighting for my right however, I am ever-so-slightly terrified that in this endeavour women may lose the pleasures of the responsibilities they have had for several centuries.

I am in no way saying that women should remain in the kitchen or be stay at home mothers nor am I even hinting that men cannot enjoy the pleasure of creating a lovely meal, decorating a home or working in the garden that I will be discussing.

I am simply saying that I am a women who is striving towards a successful career but I also strive to excel in my home life as well.

Since my last post (a very very long time ago), I have moved to Melbourne to study a Masters so I have my very own (tiny) home to "make".

I have also decided I'm going to start my own domestic-goddess-inspired business in addition to my studies.

I'm also going to figure out how to upload photos of all the deliciousness I create whilst on my food journey.

Looking forward to sharing with you...whoever you are.

Til next post.
