(my blogging philosophy)

Hi, I'm  Monica and below is a picture of my family. I am glad you stopped by! I am new at this mom thing but I love it most days .  I LOVE to read, although I don't have the time to read as much as I use to. There is nothing better than grabbing a pen and opening a new book. Why a pen? Because I do not have the ability to read ANYTHING without underlining or taking notes. I never go anywhere without my camera. Photography is my passion. I love old movies,"Steel Magnolias" and the show Golden Girls. I am an old soul. I would rather be enjoying the coziness of my home with my family than out and about. Not only do I have an insatiable appetite for reading and old movies, but also being with friends, lip gloss, journaling, reading the Word, starbucks, chocolate, organic and all things pink. 

Why I blog


I started my blog with the same intentions as most. I wanted one place where family and friends could check up on us and see current pictures. When I first started my blog it was a hard time for us because we had been trying for months to have a baby and had been unsuccessful. When we finally became pregnant we lost the baby. After that my blog took on a new form. I love to journal, so this became my journal, an outlet for my sadness, anger, and joy. I loved how I could share with others across the world in their journey's in life and I could invite others to share in mine. I am not good with words nor is my grammar always correct. But if you can overlook that and see my heart in my blog you might find we are kindred spirits. 


I don't want you to get the wrong impression. I am not perfect nor is my family. This is a blog, not reality. My son is not always a smiling happy baby, my attitude is not always uplifting, my hair is not always "done". When at home you can usually find me in sweats, I try to pretend I don't see the ever growing laundry pile, and I should probably give our floor more attention that I currently give it. 


I want my blog to be a place of honesty and a place to be transparent. Please feel free to comment your opinion or experience. After you leave a comment I will head over to your blog to check out your place!

What do I blog about?
