The Beginning
TLDR; Welcome to my blog. It won’t be a niche, but rather a mosaic of me. I hope something resonates with you, and I’m really glad you’re here.
As I’m thinking about what to put for the first blog post, the only phrase that comes to mind is “ripping the bandaid off”. Which, thinking more about it, is a strange phrase to guide the start of this online journey. There’s nothing super profound I could say to really kick it off.
Welcome, I guess? (lolll.)
Maybe I’m creating this image in my head that everything is supposed to be more grandiose and poignant when it’s really not that way. Regardless, I’m honestly just wanting an online space that offers cozy, come-on-in vibes and to freely talk about anything that suits the mood that day: current seasons of life, wellness trends, clueless millennial mom re-learning the fashion trends of today (no thanks flare jeans), creating new household rhythms, the creative activities my kids are enjoying, Disney and Universal news and tips, things I’m reading, recipes I’m cooking. All the things.
So many platforms say, niche down. I can’t say that that particular notion really resonates with me. I’ve already niched down professionally, and I’m not someone who has great confidence in my personality and interests now. Niching down seems like it would only further affirm the confusion I have now as I navigate the mama & working adult era of my life. Rather, I want to fit all the broken and miscellaneous pieces of myself together and create a mosaic that best represents me. In all of this, I hope it inspires you to do the same if you’re in the same season of life as myself.
Regardless, I hope that when you’re here, you feel room for your soul to breathe and a place to rest in yourself as you read the rambles of a woman who often amuses herself.
So come on in, friend.
The vibes are warm.
