About Suddenly Smitten

Hello! I'm Amy. Welcome my little corner of the world.
 
Take a seat, let me just brush off the pet fur first...
 
Suddenly Smitten is a blog and online shop that features my love with crafts, pets, home and garden.
 
I hope you find something to make you smile.
I live in a little house in the Northwest side of Chicago, in a neighborhood called Jefferson Park. Well, technical MY side of the street is Forest Glen and the OTHER side of the street is Jefferson Park. Both neighborhoods are lovely, if I do say so myself! 
 
And in my little house lives my husband, Joe, and our five (yes FIVE) pets. 
I started working on Suddenly Smitten after deciding to leave my job with a small software company based in Boston. There were many highs and lows over the 13 years I spent with the company, but the last two years were hard. Really hard and really stressful and I really didn't balance my work and personal life very well. So I decided to leave that phase of my life and start on some new adventures.
 
Along with Suddenly Smitten, I'm working on a start up called Bounce English which offers online English as a Foreign language resources and online courses for students and teachers.

Here's Joe, in comic form.
And now for our menagerie...
