My Name Is Not Shirley

So, if my name isn’t Shirley [It's Shannon] where in the heck did Furious Shirley come from??? 

That is a photo of my daughter, Ava Grace Shirley.  She was two weeks old and as you can see, very upset.  After this, we started calling her Furious Shirley whenever she would throw a little tantrum.  I liked the sound of it and so when I started this blog, it seemed like the perfect fit … and not because I am angry.  Furious can also be defined as intense passion and that is what the blog is all about.  Intense passion for all of the things I love – baby, blog, cooking, eco-friendly, fashion, handmade, home decor, life.

ABOUT ME:

I was born and raised in rural Ohio.  Thirteen years ago, I moved to New York City and four months ago we relocated to Chicago.  I spent most of my time in NY working in the music industry, handling international marketing and PR.  I also worked as a producer and agent for photographers.  I was the opposite of domestic – the life of the party.  Having a baby changed my world and brought me back to my roots – the simple things.  I love my life.
