Over the last couple months, I have revamped the way I do things around here, hell, I’m around here. Once upon a time this blog would go months without a word, I was busy with school, life, and other obligations.
I didn’t start this blog to become a “blogger” I started this blog because I had a little Etsy shop, I sold cute girly things. My husband told me it would be smart for me to have a blog to update what was new in my Etsy shop as well as share some crafts.
What I didn’t see is the community.
Once I started to blog and liked it, I started to forget to write about my Etsy shop; I wanted to explore more, the blog became random, and I didn’t want to lose focus on my shop. I did. I lost focus on my shop, and closed it, I lost focus on my blog, and ignored it.
When you’re writing 3 page papers day after day about the impact of a company’s ecological footprint on our environment for school, while maintaining the “super-mom-complex” {PLEASE say you read that with air quotes} things have to give. Sadly, it was my blog. I still blogged per se, but not here, over at Tots to Teens.
Then something clicked, I missed my blog, I missed connecting with people, okay not having to write school papers every night did play a role too, but I missed my spot. I come here to sulk, vent, elaborate, and celebrate. This is my home on the www…. and I’ve made some true friends in the blogosphere. I would be a liar if I didn’t say I love blogging! I do love blogging!
I know I’m random, I know I don’t have a ‘niche’ but I do know I enjoy connecting, and sharing.
So imagine my face when Elena from Cropped Stories emailed me and said “I’ve nominated you…”
Say what? Me, I’ve been nominated for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award? Honored, Humbled, and above all thankful! Elena is a sweetheart, I don’t know what made her think of me. Nonetheless, I’m extremely thankful she did <3
Side Note: If you haven’t visited Cropped Stories before I suggest you do, Elena shares great tips, BEAUTIFUL pictures, and freebies. And her daughter oh my goodness she’s a doll!!!
Okay, well the award isn’t all get-an-award-stick-it-up-on-your-blog-and-move-along, it’s hey-you’ve-got-this-award -share-something-about-yourself-and-> pass it on! If you’re nominated you must share 7 things about yourself, and nominate 15 inspiring bloggers. This sounds fair, so I’m down!
- I love to laugh! Who doesn’t, right? I love to make people laugh and I ADORE people who make me laugh, thankfully I have 4 people who do that everyday {and a fur baby}.
- I’m short. Short in the “aw she’s so cute short” and “you’ll never be a runway model short”. One of those things has been said to me at an audition.
- I’m emotional, extremely emotional, it doesn’t matter what time of the month. I get sad when I see someone eating alone or walking home in the rain. {I’ve been told not to pick-up anymore random animals or people– this makes me sad but I get it.}
- Motherhood has shaped me, for the better of course. I’m not anywhere as hotheaded as I use to be. No more club brawls for me.
- I have two tattoos one I love the other not so much.
- I got the other at 18, which explains it all. Thankfully it’s not a Pooh Bear tattoo ;D {apologies to anyone with a Pooh Bear tattoo}
- I’m thankful you read through this list! It was hard for me to think of seven more things to share about myself, I feel as though I’ve been sharing a lot of me lately.
