Balancing Old-School Values with Modern Dreams: A Peek into My Life



Hello, and welcome! 

My name is Amber Burton and I’m a young, married woman navigating life with a blend of old-school ideals and a drive to succeed in today’s fast-paced world. I was raised with the belief that hard work, commitment, and a bit of creativity are the building blocks of a meaningful life. These values shape everything I do—from the way I manage my household to the hobbies I cherish.

Embracing Traditional Hobbies in a Modern World

One of my favorite ways to unwind is through crochet. There's something deeply satisfying about creating something with my hands, one stitch at a time. Crochet, to me, is more than a craft; it’s a connection to the past, to the generations of women who made beautiful things out of necessity and love. It’s also a wonderful creative outlet, a way to turn my ideas into something real and shareable. I aim to complete 150 projects in the coming year, and I’m thrilled about where this journey might take me!



Writing

Recently I got published by an online company and I couldn't be happier. It has always been a dream of mine and I am one step closer to making my goal here a reality. 




Finding Adventure Close to Home

When I'm not working with yarn, I’m often found outside. Kayaking has become one of my favorite ways to embrace the beauty of nature. There’s something freeing about gliding across the water, leaving all the noise behind. I love that it’s something my husband and I can enjoy together. He’s my biggest support, and we’re always looking for new adventures to share, whether it's a quiet day on the lake or just laughing at home after a long day.



Balancing Full-Time Work with Full-Time Life

Juggling a full-time job with household responsibilities and personal goals can be exhausting, but I see it as a path to growth. I enjoy keeping a clean and cozy home, finding new ways to make everyday life run smoothly. And with my eye on future possibilities, I’m always brainstorming ways to build a life that’s both secure and fulfilling.

Onward and Upward

This blog is my space to share, reflect, and connect with others who may be on a similar path. Whether you’re a fellow crafter, an adventurer, or just someone who loves the simple things, I’d love to hear your stories and share in your journey too. Here’s to keeping tradition alive, embracing new opportunities, and building a life that’s genuinely ours!



Thank you being here on this journey with me!
