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.

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!! 

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...
