Hey Guys,
It wasn't untill a few weeks ago that i realized i have been blogging for a little over a year. I couldn't believe it. I started blogging during a tough time in my life. My boyfriend wasn't working and we were counting pennies. He started a job where he worked night shifts, so our schedules were opposite. I spent many nights alone, and barely saw him. Even when he was off, he slept all day ( i cant blame him).
A lot of people would ask me for advice/ my opinion on products. I decided to put my opinions to good use and start a blog. I will admit early on, it was a complete disaster. I copied other peoples structure and blogging schedule. This made me put out poor content and i felt forced to blog. This was suppose to be a hobby and something i was doing for myself, and it was slowly turning into a chore. Once my boyfriend started working ' regular hours' i took a break. I will admit i thought about whether or not it was a good idea, and my friend told me to get back to it. She made a good point, it was a little part of my day that i was doing fir myself. I decided to change up my content and how often i posted. I would post once a week about topics that were popular and ones i was passionate about.
What i love about posting once a week was i able to take my time. I would do a little but everyday. If i ended up being busy, who cares.
Blogging is great for me, because i am and English major. There is so many ways i can apply this in my everyday life, but i feel like i am able to use my creative writing skills in a positive way. I love reading blogs, and seeing what everyone is passionate about, and the different writing styles.
I love being able to feel as though my voice is being heard, and most importantly i feel valued. It is not about how many views i get (but just for the record, i would love to get more) or how much money i am making, but feeling as though i am more then a mother. I know that may sound odd, but it is so easy to loose yourself once you become a mom. Your life revolves around your family, and it is so easy to put yourself on the back burner. I love feeling like i have a job and a purpose in life. Lets face it, Kayden is going to be in school soon, and i would hate it if i felt lost and sat at home twiddling my thumbs.
After blogging for a little over a year I see my blog growing. It has taken me awhile to find my niche, but i am so excited to see where this endeavor takes me.
