The Many CHairs of Amy

People usually say "I wear many hats" when it comes to work. In my case, it's many chairs. Well, many hats for Cozy Reverie and lots of chairs elsewhere. I am constantly saying "go visit here" and "check out this link", so I thought it was time to finally sit down to tell you everything I am currently working on (including Cozy Reverie)!

COZY REVERIE - The Founder/Owner's Chair 
Four years with this lovely little blog of mine! Constantly growning, always evolving, I proudly wear ALL the hats for this art brand, though I am still learning as I go. Textile design is not easy, but it's so fun and I couldn't quit it if I tried. Want to know the hats? Here we go!

A WALTZ THROUGH DISNEY- The Art Director's Chair
This fan blog was created by my husband and I four years ago (literally three month after I started Cozy Reverie - overzealous much?) and we have kept it going since. With a yearly event at the Disneyland park and tons of blog posts about anything and everything Disney-related, it's quite the handful for just two people, but we love it. We are looking for contributors so if you are interested, feel free to contact us here. Now for these hats...or mouse ears rather!

BRODY'S TRAILER PODCAST - The Host's Chair
My son is obsessed with movie trailers, so we decided to give him an opportunity to talk about them in a podcast. He is already on his ninth episode and is already planning Season 2! I love being able to give him this creative outlet, and the extra time set aside for it is totally worth it. The hats? Check it.

MY DREAM GOAL - The Actor's Chair
I wrote more about this here, but I have to say the past couple of months have been wonderfully challenging. I am working with incredible people to reach these goals. It's all very new for me so I'm excited to keep you posted. Since this is very different from the Cozy Reverie brand, I will be keeping it separate from here. Follow along with my shenanigans here! I don't even know how to describe the hats in this category because there are so many that blend together. 

LIFE WITH WATKINEZ BOYS - The Mom's Chair
I couldn't leave this one out because it is very much my priority. While it isn't a "job", it is my career for life and I wouldn't change a thing. Being a mom is the scariest and most exhilerating experience I have ever been a part of. The list of hats in this field would be endless, so I'm going to spare you the details. I am, however, working full-time at a desk job - which is technically another chair - but that is mainly to help support the Watkinez family. These boys are my everything and I can't wait to see who they become. Well, maybe I can wait a little...no sense in rushing things. 

There you have it! My current work in a nutshell. Now you can see where the overwhelm might kick it every now and again, but I can't imagine my life without any of these projects. BRING ON THE CHAIRS! 

Do you have any questions about blogging? Feel free to contact me! I'm not what you would call an expert, but I hope that sharing my experiences will help others that hope to start their own blog in the future. Ask away!
