I had to fill out some paperwork that required me to check off what I did for a living. I hated the term “homemaker” and decided I would call myself, the Domestic Specialist. So in May 2011 when I was asked to start writing a weekly column for my local Patch.com site, I thought it would make the perfect title for the column: The Domestic Specialist.
The subject of each article has to do with what I write about here at the Good the Dad and the Baby; babies, family, friends, cooking, cleaning, gardening, life as a parent and everything else that goes along with being a domestic specialist. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t claim to be an expert at anything, I just write about things as I see them from my own perspective.
What makes this column a little more unique than most of my other writing here is the goofy graphics that accompany each story. If anything, you can laugh at the pictures of me making fun of myself.
For awhile, the column was exclusively posted on the Patch, but now it’s posted in both places. Below are links to all the Domestic Specialist posts with the newest post on top (click on the title next to the thumbnail). I hope you enjoy reading!
