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!! 

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
