What it's all about

I was reading an article today about how a SAHM or anyone looking to start a computer based business at home should focus their efforts.  It really got me thinking because I realized that none of what I'm doing is focused and I just recently had the same problem with an assignment in one of my Education courses in college.  Too much of what I had written was focused on the big picture when I was supposed to choose just a few ideas and really delve into their specific purposes or successes.  Looking at how neglected my page has been recently, I realized that I needed to really figure out what I'm doing and, rather than use what has worked for others, find what works for me.  So, to make things a little more comprehensive for people other than myself, I thought I'd explain a little about the different topics that I've chosen to discuss on my page.

Most people consider this a DIY section of sorts. Since I'm a licensed cosmetologist and budding nail enthusiast, you can find Gelish tutorials here as well.  Every now and again, I might get caught up in a weird craft or new hobby I want to try out and I'll include those in this section, too.

 

Some might consider this an area for reviews whereas some fall into other categories like home improvement.  Maybe that's why I called it solutions rather than anything too specific.  Finding certain products (without the help of sponsors, yet) and finding that it proves to be the perfect solution for me and my family is pretty much what this is all about.  Sometimes, it's just about figuring out how to solve a problem, like a cluttered mess or a broken toy.  I guess it just depends.

Bear with me on this one because as of this moment there is absolutely nothing to represent this category, but it was ultimately my attempt at focusing on food.  If I ever get around to it, you can take a look around, but this may be a soon-to-be-deleted type of thing.

My world would not be complete without some type of journal.  I've got too many old journals than I can remember that are stashed away because I'm too sentimental to get rid of them, but it's been a while since I've had a physical journal.  Aside from a bit of writing I did when I was pregnant a few years back, this has become the little bit of me.  Keeping tabs, ramblings, workout successes and failures, and anything and everything that has to do with my current journey through college.

 

It's exactly what it sounds like - all about my family.  Adventures in Toddlerhood, which aren't nearly as adventurous without my niece, but having a son more than makes up for that fact, is basically my life with a toddler.  Simple enough.  Parenting is certainly a popular topic, too, since I'm a few years in with my first child and it's definitely something to be chronicled in the event that I forget when the next one comes along.  But family cannot be complete without me and my husband and the little achievements or experiences we experience along the way, so there's a little bit of that to be expected, too.

Finally, I can't leave without a little note about pictures.  Unless specifically noted, the majority of my photos will come from one of two places: my own photo library or the amazing works of a dear friend.  We grew up together and so I really view his photographs as a memory and important aspect that should be included here.  Granted, I will admit that at times I may use photographs from Pinterest with no definitive source, so I usually won't cite those either, but I just needed to give a shout out to the photography skills of a friend.
