Who is The Real Everyday Woman?
Hi! I am Kasha Layton. That’s pronounced Cash-uh, I know it’s unique. I’m a momma to two beautiful girls, 8 and 4, and a wife to a hard-working self- employed man. I am a Sped teacher by day and an earring maker by night. I was born and raised in Southern Missouri, it is still where I reside, and plan to raise my girls as well. I enjoy family time, camping by the lake, home décor, creating leather earrings, binge-watching shows (darn Netflix and Amazon Prime), and of course catching up on my shows on HGTV.
My husband and I bought land about two years ago in hopes of getting to build our/my dream house on. Unfortunately, this dream has been put on hold. Our new hope is to build my husband’s dream shop and building living quarters above. Yes, we are in the works of building a shouse. It has not gotten started just yet with Covid and everyone being so busy, also being a teacher in Southern Missouri does not make you financially sound for building (poor husband it all falls on him and his business). So, here I am starting this blog for a new adventure and in hopes of giving myself and my family to our dreams.
I have a hard time talking about the things I feel like I am good at. I see other women and think I do not have it all together like they do. I know this is not true. I have it as much together as the next woman. Social media has made us as women think that we need to be perfect. We need to be the perfect wife, mother, daughter, etc. That we need to keep it all together, have the most well behaved kids, a house that is magazine ready at all times, and have looks that kill everywhere we go. This is not feasible. I am sitting here writing this with a house that is a total disaster, hair that has not been washed in days, and my girls running around needing to go to bed. It’s called life.
I want this blog to be about everyday life. I want to show that every woman has their ups and downs, for them to know it is okay. I pray I can make a new career of this and then teach others how to have success too. I am a teacher by heart, but maybe I am not meant for the everyday classroom. So, please stick with me and see how everything pans out.
This is a real everyday woman scared to try new things when she has more than herself to think about. Here’s to jumping in…..
