I have a blog!

Well, it's official. I'm a blogger. I'm starting this blog as a start to rediscovering me. I'm starting to do things that I enjoyed at some point or another, but for some reason I no longer do. Mommyhood and just life in general, has seemed to take over and run off with my sense of self. So.... here we go.

One thing I used to enjoy was writing. Prior to married life and kiddos, I always kept a journal. I would write about anything and everything. I would write poetry, prayers, and just random things I wanted to remember. This is where the blog comes in. This is mostly for me, but I don't mind if others want to wander along with me.

Opening the flood gates

After my post last week I've been doing a lot of reflecting. I had a handful of people tell me not to be so hard on myself. Not just in comments, but private messages and in person.When I was writing my last blog post the thought did cross my mind that people may think that, but I kind of shrugged it off because to me, I was going easy. I think being too hard on myself it what got me into this "mess" (literally and figuratively) in the first place. I decided that maybe I needed to write about it. In a post a couple months ago I shared a piece of my story.  This is a little snip-it from that post . When people asked how I was my go to response was “I'm doing pretty good”. But really, if people could have heard my thoughts they would know how alone and isolated I felt, and how much I thought I was failing at life in general. For a long time I felt like a failure. Nothing specific. Just in general.  I felt like I wasn't good at anything. Eventually I just stop...

Quick decluttering update: Bathroom, coat closet and living room tables CHECK! Next up, my room. DUN DUN DUN! Bedroom closet starting tomorrow. If you don't hear from me in the next few days you may want to send someone in after me... #kidding  #notreally (Is that a thing? Do people hash tag in blogs? well I. Just. Did.) Anyways, time to get down to business. The last few weeks I've set a goal to make Friday my writing day. The 5 yr old is at preschool so its just me and the baby. Usually, sometime in the beginning of the week I start pondering something that I could write about, then jot down some notes through out the week. This week was not that way. I really had no clue what I was going to write about and considered taking the week off. I didn't figure it out until I sat down and opened the computer. Even still, its a jumbled mess in my brain. My thoughts are spider webbing all over the place. I'm just going to try to get it out and hope it makes sense at the end....

Gettin' real..

Well, I got on Facebook this morning and thanks to FB memories, I discovered it's been over a year since my last post. You were all supposed to remind me that I was supposed to be writing regularly and going to bed at a decent time. Guess you're all busy like I am :) I left off last post saying I was going to work on improving one area of my life at a time in order to have a less chaotic day to day lifestyle. First step, go to bed at a decent time. Well... so much for that. The only thing I worked on this last year was bringing a little guy named Oliver into our family. He was born about 3 months ago and we're all head over heals for him. However, he's definitely not helped with the bed time.  So, Its time to get real... I have a confession to make. I'm guilty of being a Facebook faker. I think most of us are to an extent and I think that is ok. In order to not annoying my Facebook 'friends', I do the best I can to stay away from negativity and anyt...
