I originally started this blog to have a place that I could share my thoughts & ideas, my crafts & diy creations, interesting ideas etc. It's a place that I would post on anything that didn't have to do with my family or photography. I didn't want to bog down my either of those blogs. Today, I decided that I will be gutting this blog and restarting it, starting over. I plan on taking it in a totally different direction, exploring things that interests me. With my photography/artistic blog, it was easy to get regular readers and plenty of people have come to my blog. I love it! It has been great, fun, and something I love to do. So, now it's time for me to get this blog up and running.
The beginning.......................................................
What you can expect from my new blog, well that's simple----pieces of me. The sole purpose of this blog is to have a place that I could share things that I enjoy, things of interest, things I am thinking about, and things that make me tick. All my posts will fall into one of the categories below. My topics I will explore are:
1. Simple living (like my minimalism beginnings),
2. My frugalness & great money saving ideas (which I the master at, just you wait & see. I can contend with the best of the best in this category),
3. Diy stuff like recycling or upcycling or primitives that I love,
4. Homemade food & recipes,
5. Parenting tips & ideas,
6. Natural & green living,
7. My gardening mishaps,
8. Our unique reptile "farm",
9. Healthy living ideas,
10. Homesteading stuff
~~~~There will be something for everyone.~~~~
