Get to Know Me!

Hi there!! I’m Tami, blogger, crafter, and personal chef… well for my family anyway. I am an extremely awkward introvert, which basically means that I not only have endless awkward encounters, but I frequently find myself dwelling on those embarrassing encounters in the middle of the night…. For years to come. It’s a talent really. I started blogging so I would be able to share all of my crazy misadventures with all you awesome people. Hopefully we can all learn something from each other.

So why did I pick Ragtag Journey as my blog name? I am so glad you asked! As I thought about what to name this place that I would share my stories and ideas, I thought about what kind of blog I wanted it to be. I knew I wanted it to be something like myself, eclectic, random and a bit of this and that – hence the first word, “Ragtag”. Ragtag literally means, eclectic, assorted and miscellaneous. From there, the word “Journey” kept popping into my head. I mean, life is nothing but a journey anyway right? I knew then that Ragtag Journey was the perfect name for this crazy adventure I was about to go on. I hope you will come with me!!

You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.

A few random (and probably not needed) facts about yours truly!

  • My personality type is INFJ- the rarest type. If you haven’t tried the Myers-Briggs test, you should. Mine was scary accurate.
