I have lived in the suburbs or small map dots around  Houston TX my  whole life and likely always will bc of this I have some strong country  roots or as I call it "country fried traits" that come out pretty  frequently. For the most part I'm just your basic suburban housewife and  mommy, I like to say I won the redneck lottery bc I found a smart good  looking man who was willing to marry me and I'm lucky enough to stay  home.   There are a few other ways you can achieve the redneck lottery  like getting a settlement for an injury or actually winning the lottery,  but I went a little mainstream, lazy I guess :).  I love all things  craft or art, as well as any projects you might see on hgtv or in bhg.  I'm always trying new things be it a recipe or attempting to decorate my  closet like a room. I have lots of cheapskate tendencies and my taste  can be a little garish (I am a texan) so some of the ideas are big fails  or misadventures but learning experiences just the same. As dr Phil  says " it's only a mistake if you don't learn from it, if you learn from  it then it's tuition," (of course I watch dr phil and sadly quote him,  some of his little nuggets of wisdom are catchy I can't help it).
