Those 3 little cuties are my original inspiration for blogging.  I L.O.V.E. Love to share stories about my children and all the extra-curricular activities.  It all began so that I could share in the overflowing joys of my son’s adoption.  Naturally, the sharing morphed into telling stories about our family that were outside the adoption.  I shared for a couple years on a Blogger hosted blog.  Then one day I was feeling a little low because I stay home with my children.  Like staying home doesn’t contribute enough or something. I discovered the possibility of making an income with blogging.  Tell. Me. More!

I began the process of digging in and soaking up any information I could about successful bloggers.  I created checklists to work through so that I would have no reason for failure.  Dollar signs were buzzing around my brain and I was so excited!

It didn’t take long to realize that the checklists I created were morphing me into a poser.  Wanna-be.  Fake.  Not the Biblically proverbial wife and mother that I wanted to make myself out to be.  Not.even.close.  The stress of writing to unintentionally deceive any reader I had gained creeped in and this blog- this blog that I was so excited about became a chore.  I failed even with my checklist.

I threw the checklist away.  I don’t care about the money anymore.  If I make some, awesome!  Those 3 little cuties deserve me at my best, striving to care for them not striving to make a perfect blog.  I deserve a creative outlet and I’m so happy I choose blogging.  I love blogging when I do it for me and me only.

Why do I blog?  I blog for me.
