I’m Deanna!

Welcome to my little spot on the internet. I’ve been here since 2005, on wordpress since 2007, and a blog and web designer since 2007 as well – which means my first clients were likely pterodactyls. Domestic Chicky started as a way not only to document my first attempts at domesticity (mostly failed), but my growing dudes as well – who were 3 and 6 months when I started, and are now 19 and 16…Damn that was fast!

I love sharing all my favorite tips and tricks – fun easy recipes, books, home projects (mine AND others!), my journey being over 50 AND being over 50 and trying to get healthy (grandkids can’t be too far behind right?), affordable clothes, adventures here in Southern California and around the world (just got my passport paperwork!), my favorite beauty products (gotta justify that Sephora VIB Rouge membership somehow!), photography and a peek inside the world of blogging – I’ve worked with some amazing people over the years and I want to share all the awesomeness I’ve learned from and with them.
