My Motivation to Blog

I'm not going to lie to you, I had visions of becoming a successful full-time blogger, essentially overnight. I know that there are people who do it. Why couldn't I be one of those people, right?

So I did an experiment. I decided to lay out my blogs with a specific message in mind in each blog: What If..., Baby Mania, Devotionals, etc. What I found was that this was just too structured for me.

This is what you are going to get when you read this blog:

1. Updated baby news that will probably revolve around three possible subjects: Nathanial's arm update, poop update, teething update, and crawling update. I'll of course still share products that I love. For instance, we just received from my mother-in-law a Baby Safe Feeder. You can place pieces of cold fruit or ice in this mesh bag that screws into a pacifier type holder and your baby can gnaw on cool pieces of fruit, enjoying the texture and flavor while soothing their gums!
2. Updated expressions from what I'm reading in the Bible. Sometimes the Spirit moves me to write; sometimes he does not. So, I'm not going to try to force it any more.
3. Keeping up with my dreams. I still like the "What if..." blogs. Although, I have been wondering, "What if I could just be happy with status quo for two seconds and stop asking 'What if?'"
4. Shameless promotion of an amazing new system that I am now an independent consultant for. Seriously, you have to try this. I am HORRIBLE at remembering things like birthdays, anniversaries, thank you notes, etc. My husband didn't even get a birthday card this last year from me! Eek! Granted, I was in labor four days before his birthday, but still. I knew what was coming. I could have planned! This system allows you to send REAL greeting cards with lick and stick stamps to whomever from the comfort of your own living room.
   
   It's not like an e-mail greeting card. There is a satisfaction in knowing someone cares when something comes in the MAIL to you. What makes this system different is that you can pick a card or customize one, write your own message in your OWN handwriting, push a button, and boom! It's sent! And it's more personal than going to the gift card store and purchasing someone else's words while only adding a brief "Love," at the end!

Anyway, those are the topics you will be getting from here on out! I'm even going to attempt to follow the "blogging rules." I'm not going to stick to one topic or blog every 2.5 seconds. I'm going to be real. A real mom with real struggles and triumphs and questions and concerns and, whew. Okay, I'm going to bed now.
