Life is good. I love life. I love spending time with my kiddo and time with my hubby and time, well, just being. But then other life things start getting in the way and I find myself wanting to jump the next around the world cruise so that I can just find some space to breathe again. As I am sure many other people my age have gone through, I am finding myself wanting to just do the fun and soul-filling things I like instead of putting so much effort into things that just let me be. My job as a…
Greetings and Salutations to all of my blogging friends! I just wanted to give you a head’s up that I am going to start sharing some of my favorite blogs from my online friends. It is something that has needed to happen for a long time, but I was fairly reluctant because I was too busy being over-protective of my own blog. I had a vision of what I wanted to do and sharing wasn’t part of the equation. Cut to now and that fact that I have had this blog for almost eight months and I finally realized that I have been…
Hello my friends! I am just barely getting back on track after my holiday and I am knee deep in all kinds of writing activities! I am currently recalling my vacation to Hawaii over Christmas and I am surprised on how detailed I seem to have remembered things. I’m actually quite grateful to have the time to look back and reflect because I am beginning to really understand how special that time really was–priceless moments as The Magic Three. I’m not sure if I told everyone that I did get approved to teach about blogging at my library’s annual Tech…
Hello to all of my blogging friends out there. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know about something cool I might be a part of very, very soon. Some of you know that I am a kick-ass Children’s Librarian (not literally of course, but instead more in the “I’m so awesome I can hardly stand it” variety-ha!) and I spend hours upon hours each week trying to keep the young brains of the library masses fresh and eager for new knowledge. Teaching stuff like how to paint with shaving cream, how to create an artistic masterpiece using stamp…
I just want to take a second to say thank you to each and every Veteran that has ever been. Your service is greatly appreciated. Today I would also like to specifically honor my dad who served three tours in Vietnam as a United States Marine. I have been privileged to hear some of his stories but they are many more still locked away. He has done much for his country and his family and I love him very much for it. This is also my opportunity to say thank you to all of the family members of Veterans who…
Hello to all of my lovely online friends! After coming off an extremely busy Halloween weekend with the boy and the hubby, I find that I have neglected my blog severely. I apologize to all of the late responses on my last post–I finally got to them today. I will try to be more quick to answer and comment next time. On to the mini musing of the day…I took some time to contemplate my next story and thought I had it all lined up, but my heart is pulling me in another direction. I feel that it is very…
Hello again to all of my blogging friends! Thanks to all of the great advice I got a few weeks ago (and a suggestion from my sister-in-law) I have been able to come up with two or three ideas to write about that are very exciting. My last blog on haunted houses was fun to do and I will soon be touching on indoor skydiving and the time I accidentally had my hair turned into a fro (I might even have pictures of the debacle–stay tuned). This week I decided to bite the bullet and purchased 100 business cards with my…
Hello my friends, I have been neglecting my posts (and all of your posts) more and more lately and I have no real good reason for why that is happening. I still find that I have many things that I want to write about, but I find that I would rather do something (anything) else than sit down and type them out! (Let’s just say that I am going to have the most awesome Halloween costume this year.) I can’t imagine that I am the only person that feels this way once in a while and so I am asking…
My brain is here, there and everywhere and I need help from my fellow blogging peeps! I have my blog set up in such a way that I can write whatever I want whenever I want and, personally, I find that to be helpful when it’s time for me to actually sit down and put in the time. However, as someone who is trying to increase followers, do you find that being more specific about a particular subject gets more readers (i.e. cooking, sewing, cars, etc.)? My all encompassing vision is a blog that has funny stories (although I have…
Hello, and happy Tuesday to you all! As I approach my two month anniversary of blogging (thank you, thank you very much) I am learning so many awesome things from the different blogs that I read and from the great people that interact with me through commenting on my posts! I think my biggest surprise is that there are so many young bloggers on here– a lot of high school and college kids. I find that interesting because when I was that age I could barely muster up the energy to make it to school on time. Kudos to you…
