Blogging Rule #1

I knew that I wanted to start a blog. Why?? Mostly just for fun!! I wanted it to be somewhere to share with friends and families about what's going on in my life. Before I started my blog I was reading up on blogging, and somewhere I read that it's not a good idea to have a blog about "whatever" so-to-speak, and to instead choose a topic that you know a lot about or a subject that you have passion for. Why?? Because apparently there are just too many blogs about nothing, too many people writing about too many topics makes for boring blogging. At first, I started worrying because his advice was basically telling me that my blog wouldn't be successful because it wasn't going to be about anything specific. In fact, I almost named my blog "A Little Bit of Everything" (thank you Erin!) because that's exactly what I wanted to write about! I don't have any specific topic and/or subject that I wanted to write about. Just the day to day, the happenings of my life, what I did today or experienced or felt. And whoever that person was wrote about rule #1 almost kept me from starting a blog... but then I decided to NOT CARE! I'm breaking blogging rule #1 and it feels good! I am a rule-following-people-pleaser and I always have been. But for now, regarding my blog I will write about what I know, and what I know is my life. This blog won't be all about crafts, babies (don't even have those yet!), or cooking. Will I include crafting? Yes. Will I write about cooking? Um... Maybe. Babies? Someday. Shopping, hair color, teaching, eating out, time with friends, my hubby, cleaning the house? FOR SURE because those are the things I know about (tomorrow I might even write about the amazing scarves I bought today). So, for today I hope you enjoy reading about a little bit of everything in My Lill' Life.
