What I learned my first year of blogging




 
This is my 100th post, WOW!! What started out as a whim has turned into a rather enjoyable hobby for me.  I love writing, sharing my views, sharing my life, and most of all learning about others.  This past year, I have learned so much from the blogging process in return.  Such as.....
 
1.  What a link up is and how to join them. 
I like sharing with other blogs, and the ideas for what to write about has helped as well. 
 
2.  Essie is the best nail polish ever, hands down.
I did not know this before but what a difference a good brand of nail polish makes.  I also learned you can take your own nail polish with you when getting a manicure/pedicure.  Insightful :)

 
 
3.  What chevron is.
There is an official name for the zig zag pattern that I love.  The girls like to tease me by saying it now, because I was so impressed when I found out.



 
 
4.  That I really am a Southern Girl at heart.
I lived in Kentucky and Georgia from the time I was 3years to 7 years.  I have always loved the south and have found many of the blogs I love to read are by southern gals.  I am with my people!



 
 
5. I am learning what my personal style, beliefs, and priorties are. 
Writing about yourself really makes you look inward to who you are as a person.  I needed this experience to feel more comfortable about me.  Good or Bad, Wrong or Right, etc.  Knowing yourself is the key to a more content life.

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
