A is for... A Reason to Blog



After almost two years of sitting on the sidelines, gathering inspiration from all sorts, I've finally decided to jump right in to the world of Blogs.  As a mother, wife, and full-time teacher, I regularly feel as though my life is running faster than I am.  Sometimes it's easy for women like me to turn on auto pilot and take on the day, without really being present.  My son just turned one, and I know that he won't be little forever.  I want to be present in my life and notice the beauty in each and every day. 

I started this blog as a way to remind myself to remain present and notice what is going on around me.  Whether it be an inspirational thought, craft tutorial, recipe, or new decorating project, I aim to write about something every day.  My first task is to complete the Blogging from A-Z Challenge April 2012. http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/ .  Wish me luck!

  1. Good luck and I hear you. I too am a full time teacher and a less and less part time writer. Great idea to have your blog as a way to be present. I should think of it that way. Nice to meet you.

  4. Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments! Putting your thoughts and life out there to the world is a bit intimidating, and I'm thankful for your encouragement.

    A.M. and Jaye - thanks for being my first followers! I'm eager to check out each of your blogs and learn about your experiences teaching and managing life.

    Denitza- I appreciate your compliment. It was my husband who took the photo. He's definitely the photographer in our family!
