The first blog

So this is it. I’m taking the plunge; I’m setting up a blog.

I’m going to lay my life out there for the scrutiny of the world… and I’m scared. What if it’s boring? What if I think it’s funny, but nobody else does?
Or worse still…. WHAT IF NOBODY LIKES IT??!

I follow a few blogs – every one offers me something; a snippet of advice here; a pearl of wisdom there; a delicious recipe that I will talk about, but never get around to making; and always a good giggle.
I would love to be able to offer the same to people who may read this blog, but my advice and my wisdom come from others; my cooking skills are mediocre; my sense of humour is not always mainstream….

I guess the first thing I need to do is to think about is what do I want from this blog – do I want this to be a roaring success where I can create a business from it?
Hmmmm, probably not as:
a) I’m a procrastinator (it’s taken me almost 12-months to get this initial blog written!) and
b) I don’t even know what I want to be when I grow up!!

Ooookaaay then, so let’s start a little smaller – what will this blog be about?
Well, I want a place to share some of the things going on in my life; the wonderful things my little Monster says or does that make me smile; the things I love, the things I don't; the journey that I’m on as I try to balance my life as a Mother and Wife, whilst still trying to maintain a shred of my Self.
And if I happen to make some new friends from it, then that is a bonus  J

Right, that’s it. I’m going with “I want this blog to be my outlet; a journal of what goes on in my (often) mundane life”.

Hey, it’s a starting point, and as a good friend of mine said – I can always start a new blog if this one doesn’t work out  J

So everyone…

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!
