I will not be defeated!

First off, I apologize for not adding a post in quite some time. (I know I have a HUGE following and all :)) I am still pretty limited for spare time with my lil' wild child and I admit I got a little distracted when I caved into Pinterest.

Now that I've picked out the closet of clothes I will never have, the tacky home organization ideas I'll never use, and the crafting I will never have time for, I've decided to get back into this blogging thing.

I have to admit it's quite intimidating to begin blogging when I peruse other blogs that are so well-written and put together. I don't have a fancy camera or sewing machine and my knowledge of computers doesn't expand much past the COMP 101 class I took freshman year of college. (I did, however, get an A in that class. Though I think the whole class might have.) Nonetheless, I'm not going to let others' fancy blogs get me defeated! I am going to push forward and conquer the blogging world!

I feel I'm overall an interesting person. I may not be super cool but my honesty might win me some likability points. Okay... I'm a bit fuddy duddy-ish but I have a good sense of humor. Right?!?

Therefore, I have created a few goals for my blog. Please keep me real if I stray from these goals.

1. Always be honest and true.
            - I'm obviously past the point in my life where I care about "coolness". I've succumbed to my nerdiness. So, why try to portray myself in a way I am not? I admit I strive to portray myself in a positive light in social media forums. That's mostly because I HATE negativity. (Oxymoron? Slightly.)

2. Leave a little mystery.
            -There's obviously a part of blogging which opens people up to your personal life. I realize that. However, I think there's a fine line between letting people into your personal life and LETTING people into your personal life. I'm not going to try to get too personal here.

3. Mix it up!
             -My life obviously revolves around my baby boy. BUT, I'm going to strive not to solely write about him. I recently realized ALL my Facebook updates are about him and being a mommy. I want my blog to definitely incorporate my life as a mommy but I don't want peeps to get bored!

4. Do NOT be defeated.
             -Do not be defeated.

5. Keep it sweet and simple.
             -I tend to ramble. I will try not to. :)
