With my new look and design, I feel confident to really make this blog what I've dreamed of it being. When I first started, I had no idea what I was getting into. I was just blogging to blog. The more I do it and the more I read other blogs, the more I'm getting a feel for what I want my little part of the blog world to be. I know I'm not a fashion blogger – I'm not going to be doing What I Wore Wednesdays (unless it's just something mind blowing). That's not who I am. I'm not setting the fashion world ablaze. I do know that I am a step-mom to 4 kiddos, a working mom and also someone who is striving to stay inspired and creative and get my Etsy shop to be successful. And this is probably the direction my blog is headed in – with some random things mixed in. I don't want to put myself in a corner and make some bold statement like 'I'm a mom blogger.' I am who I am – and will work hard to put stuff out there that is relevant to other people and makes me happy at the same time.
I'm really bad at seeing what everyone else is doing and wanting to do it all myself. I want to do the 30 Day Photo Challenges and the 365 Days of Lists. But the reality is, my time is very limited. And I'm extremely hard on myself when I can't follow through. Which is why my new goal is to dedicate my time and energy to the blog (just good content on a regular basis) with some advertising and my Etsy shop. I want both to be amazing – and I can only accomplish that by making them my priority.
I hope everyone likes the new design! Be on the lookout for new content and fresh things in the shop! I'm extremely excited about the direction I'm headed and I'm so glad you are all on this journey with me!
