A New Day

A year ago I embarked on a new project of blogging.  It started off with inspiration from Pinterest and also doubled as a way for me to express myself during a year that involved much change.  It has helped me to cope with the loss of my mom and also to share with family and friends the miracle that is our Oliver. I started off with the goal of trying something new from Pinterest each week and blogging about it.  To that effect it was a major fail.  My energy and writing shifted from projects to just marveling at what my life has become.  A little boy has totally overtaken my life and my heart and these days that is what I love sharing.  So I accept the failure that was my goal of blogging about Pinterest projects. I still am completely in love with Pinterest and how it has changed the way I organize and decorate and cook but my writing has been so much more fulfilling when I have written about the adventures in this new life I have.  So with that being said I am putting to rest A Year on Pins and shifting to a new blog.  It's titled Dirt, Snails and Alligator Tails.  That's what little boys are made of afterall. I have always envisioned myself raising a brood of boys.  Maybe because I grew up in an estrogen filled house of 6 women.  However in execution I realize I know nothing about raising boys.  I hate dirt, bugs and anything icky.  I am deathly afraid of snakes, frogs, lizards and anything of the green scaly variety.  So here I am raising this boy and I know that my life is going to be filled with scary moments and dirt and snakes and other wiggly creatures.  I'm loving every minute of being out of my comfort zone and I want to share this life with you.  So thank you for reading my first blog and I hope that you will continue to join me on my journey and read my new blog which you can find here: Dirt, Snails and Alligator Tails
