I consider today to be my one year blog anniversary. I actually started this blog in September of 2010, but it wasn’t until January 4, 2011 that I fully committed to this little blogging adventure. I guess you could say that was my resolution last year. I did pretty good at keeping that one, so maybe there’s hope for my 2012 resolution. As I reflect on my first year of blogging, I’m reminded that while I love the blog world I love my real-life world even more!
A hundred years from now it won’t matter that I hot glued 20 tons of rope to a door to create a headboard…..
or that I stenciled drop cloths for curtain panels…..
but the world just might be different because I was important in the life of two children.
Am I going to continue blogging? Absolutely! Do I want my blog to grow? Sure I do! But what I want more than anything is to never lose sight of what really matters in life. When I think about my goals for the blog I think about what I’ll regret later in life. When deciding what to do about most things I often think to myself – will I regret that I didn’t do this when I’m older? It sounds weird I guess, but it helps me to keep many things in perspective. I’ve got a list probably a mile long of projects that I want to tackle, things I’d like to learn, and goals I hope to achieve. Although, the thing is…………. childhood is temporary. These days of riding bikes outside through the leaves won’t last forever, and I don’t want to miss them.
I serve God first, I’m a wife second, a mom third, and then I’m a diy design/craft/life blogger. I enjoy blogging very much, and I love to decorate my home; but what I love most about my home and my life is who I share it with.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for coming on this ride with me! It has been a wonderful adventure, and I look forward to all that this next year will bring! Let’s take a breath, put our hands in the air, and enjoy the ride! 😉
Happy Anniversary. Many wishes for another successful year!
