Challenge: Accepted


About once a week my Husband asks me why I haven't started a blog yet.  "I don't know" is always my response followed by a mumble of excuses.

Truth is, I've wanted to start a blog for years but never knew where to begin. Any great blogger always recommends to future bloggers to find their passion and blog about that one thing. If you love cooking, blog about that. If you love fashion, blog about that. But stick to it! Nobody likes a random blog.

Which is exactly my problem. I don't have any one passion and I'm definitely not a fan of any one type of blog. I read health blogs, baby blogs, fashion blogs, gluten-free blogs, travel blogs, Christian blogs, decor blogs, everything. And I love them all.


I could write a health blog since I love to find healthy recipes for my husband and I. But the reality is that I indulge way too often (see above) to gain any sort of repore with my readers. Plus, lets be honest - all my recipes are from Skinnytaste

I could write a baby/mama blog since those are my favorite to read. But having a baby would probably be helpful.  Someday.

I could write a fashion blog since fashion blogs were my first-blog-love and what started me on this adventure.  But I'm only really proud of maybe 1 outfit a week and my wardrobe consists mainly of clearance racks from the local Gap. (Not that the Gap isn't completley amazing and stylish, because it is. But there are people in this blogosphere with much better fashion sense than myself.)


I could write a gluten free blog because, well, I've been gluten-free for years and love to help people out who are attempting to go GF. But..thats a little boring. And I'd probably gain m̶o̶r̶e̶ weight 'testing' out things for the blog.

I could write a teacher blog since that is one of my greatest passions and I love my little DHH preschoolers so stinkin' much. But that may make me feel like I'm at work, even when I'm at home. Yuck.


Travel blog? I'm a young newlywed. Young newlywed = tight budget.  Since our honeymoon in Mexico we've only been on roadtrips in the Midwest. Some of my most precious memories, but not thrilling enough to blog about.


I could write a decor blog, especially since we just bought our first house. But remember how that tight budget thing I was talking about?  Definitely not enough DIY action around here to keep readers interested everyday.

So this is me, breaking the cardinal rule of blogging, and just blogging about life.  Sometimes about decor/DIY. Sometimes about travel. Sometimes about being GF. Sometimes about the classroom. Sometimes about fashion. Sometimes recipes. And hopefully someday about my own little tiny babies.

So Hubby..Challenge: Accepted.
