I've spent the last say 3 years dedicated to my "career" in retail management. Within the last year, I ended up taking on another company while working as a full time manager working roughly 110 - 120 hours every two weeks, this on top of being a wife and a mother! I thought this was it.. my career! The place I was going to be spending the rest of my life working on. Long story short..it wasn't and I am now back at the drawing board.
I started this blog, as a way to get back into the things that I remember I was once passion about starting with writing. I will be writing about crafts although, I've never thought of myself as very good or very creative in this area, cooking/baking; which I absolutely ADORE, my new adventure to find my "career" and of course, our life with Ava and the new baby on the way!
Let me start by introducing the head of the household and the current center of the universe.. miss Ava Blaire!
Ava was born January 31, 2009, after a 10 month pregnancy that was classified as high risk. Miss Ava held out until her due date and like the true Rock Star that she is, showed up fashionably late by one day! Ava has always been a very independent, strong willed and funny little girl! In one conversation, she can drive you crazy and melt your heart with sweetness. I could speak for hours on this girl but trust me throughout this blog, you will get to see the many faces of my favorite little Rock Star, Miss Ava Blaire Shearer.
Then the man himself Bruce aka ELdjLOCO; my husband, my best friend..my well everything! I met Bruce several years ago while working in a nightclub, I was the Door Girl, he was the DJ. That is my husband, a hard working successful DJ in Vancouver, he is kind of a jack of all trades, and there isn't a single thing that I think he couldn't do if he wanted to! He is my sanity, the first person I call, and the person who pushes me the hardest.
Then there is me....originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, prairie girl at heart though I cannot stand the cold! I always thought that I was going to own my own restaurant or bakery or something like that; I guess there is still time! I moved to Vancouver in 2006 to attend make up school at Blanche Macdonald, I completed my Freelance Course in 2007 and began my mission to "make it" in the make up industry. Well I dabbled in almost every area of Make up and had small successes in each area but realized this wasn't for me, and walked away from makeup for good in 2010. I spent the last few years working in retail management, with about a year in the jewellery sales industry.
I am currently pregnant with our second child due November 16 this year, my first born will start Kindergarten in September. This is an amazing place right now, while there are so many unknowns, I feel such small comfort, that I am able to take this time off to be with my daughter and ensure the growth of our new baby and then have time off with our new baby while Ava is beginning the most amazing chapter of her life. My "career" is up in the air, but I have time to figure it out! I feel very lucky!
My world revolves around these people and I wouldn't change it for one second! I can't wait for you to fall in love with them as much as I have! This is an old photo but still one of my favorites! We are the Shearer family! Nice to meet you!
