Recently, someone said to me, so you blog...what is your blog about. Honestly, I write my blog the same way I would sit down with you and have a cup of coffee and chat. I see so many blogs where they are like everything is DIY, or everything is healthy eating. I am not a one dimensional person. I don't work in that realm.
I am a person who has many facets. I wear many hats in my life. I am a mom. I have two kids. My daughter is turning 21 in less than 2 weeks. My son will be 20 this summer. I have been divorced and remarried my ex (reference for probably a further blog DON'T DO IT!). Then that path led me to the most amazing man who I have known for almost 4 years and married last August. I have had to relocate many times. I have lived all over the country. I have friends around the world.
I don't understand why anyone wants to be put in a box. I know the only thing they know or the only thing they do isn't the one thing they blog about. And OK so you want to know some DIY stuff, you can go to their blog. Or you can come to mine. Find out about redefining yourself when you have adult children but are still young and are struggling with the idea of adoption or foster care. Find out about moving. Learn some DIY, some recipes, some craft ideas. See some great VLOGs that will feature everyone in my family! I struggle with my weight. I never did in high school but after having children and some medical issues, I have. I am now 40. (Yikes). So I will probably talk about weight loss.
I mean who lives a one dimensional life? I want to know what you want to know about. I want to find out information and learn with you. I want to know about your families. What are your struggles. I want to have relationships with my readers where you can ask me questions.
I have struggled reading some blogs in the past where people come across as look how perfect I am. And I can't even stay reading their blog because I know it's fake. I am the last thing from fake. I had a friend who has read some of my blog and has said to me, I sincerely feel like you just talked this all out. Its totally your voice. That is me. Anything I put out here right or wrong, is me my opinions. I know that sometimes things I think are based on my frame of reference and someone on the outside may not see it the same way. But.....I never mean to offend anyone. That will never be my purpose.
I have a girl I grew up with. She started a blog recently. Now growing up, I was the skinny one she was chubbier. Over a summer she went on one of those crazy diets where you like eat nothing. She lost a bunch of weight and she changed. Our friendship went like the toilet water gone. Everyone who liked her for her, was no longer worth her time. I saw recently that she has started a blog. She goes over food and such. I thought about the group picture of us that I had tagged her in from when we were little and she blocked me from tagging her in photos. I checked out her blog. How everything is so absolutely perfect you would think she just rolls in cotton candy and hundred dollar bills.
Please know what you read and see here is me. None of it is perfect. I am not perfect. I am just me. And that is what my blog is about. My blog is about things, people, places and events. Nothing is one sided. Nothing in my life is empty. So my blog, may have a few days without a post if 10,000 things come up or if someone is sick. Life happens. But, I'd love to have you along with us for the ride and hopefully you will pick up some good tips!
