on an introduction...
My name is Kerri. (But you can call me "wishcake" if you'd like to!)
I'm a left-handed, middle-ish child and I tend to channel Monica Geller on a fairly regular basis. I have been happily married to my husband, Jay, for the past seven years. (Am I officially an old married lady now?) Originally from the Northwest, we are presently residing in a cozy duplex in Southern California. I currently divide my time between adventures in mommyhood, maintaining my etsy shop, making a lot of lists, decorating the duplex with etsy finds and chartreuse-colored pillows, finding new crafts to tackle during nap-time, cleaning up obsessively after my husband, and striving for simplicity.
My daughter, Eisley, will be two in August, and love her to bits and pieces. Sporadic tantrums and eternally-smudged coffee table aside, mommyhood is my new favorite thing.
I am happiest while on an adventure with my husband and daughter. I am creative to my very core. I'm slightly addicted to caramel macchiato coffee creamer and buying craft supplies that I don't really need. I'm a bit of a homebody, and dream of someday having a beautiful house filled with children whom I sew clothes for and bake cookies with. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. I worry too much, but am filled with an endless supply of hope.
Feel free to email me at wishcakeblog[at]gmail[dot]com with questions, comments or general musings. (Sometimes it takes me a decade to respond to emails, but I'm trying to get better. I promise.) And be sure to follow me on Twitter (@yourwishcake) so you can keep up with all my shenanigans that manage to stay under 140 characters. Yes? Yes.
Let's be friends.
I JUST saw that you're originally from the Northwest? Can I ask where? I'm in Central/Eastern Washington, born and raised in Southeastern Washington. The former has far fewer pine trees than the latter.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog girl!
ReplyDeletei stumbled upon your blog today and find myself in love with it. Your writing is witty and wonderful (the nugget is adorable) and your reviews are hilarious. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteI see as of today your Etsy shop is empty! :( When can we expect to see new, amazing things?
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled upon your blog while doing a Google search of my daughters name... Eisley (it's a slow day at work). Fun to see another little Eisley out there. Our daughter is 4-years old, and after 4-years we are still very happy with the name (she is quite fond of it too). I often get comments about how it is a unique name, but it it doesn't sound 'weird' and it flows naturally off the tongue. It also goes well with our other kids names - we have 4 kiddos all with names that start with the letter 'E' (Emmett, Eisley, Ender & Errol).
ReplyDeleteFun blog - I passed it along to my wife, you both seem to have very similar interests. God bless!
P.S. My wife originally wanted to give our daughter the middle name 'May' (a family name), but I told he that if she did I would tell people that we named her after 'Mos Eisley Spaceport' from Star Wars, and that 'May' is short for 'May the force be with you.'. She quickly chose another middle name... she is not a sci-fi fan.
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I did some random searches for other Eisleys after my daughter was born, too. As much as I liked not knowing any other Eisleys when my daughter was born, it's been nice to meet other parents who decided on such a sweet name. :) We also get comments on how "different" the name is—but you're right: it is unique without sounding too trendy or weird. To me, it has always sounded so feminine and classic.
DeleteAnd that made me laugh about "May" being the middle name—I had originally wanted "Mae" for my daughter's middle name, but then I was all like, "People are going to think we're obsessed with Christian rock music or something." Ha!
And I appreciate your passing my blog along to your wife! Hope you and your sweet family have a wonderful day. :)
