{{i think i like it here}}

{{sorry I’ve been gone – sorry for no posts – I’ve been traveling – we’ve been busy – etc. etc. … moving right along….}}

I think I really enjoy blogging. Gasp! I know, crazy right? People say it’s annoying to blog about blogging but I’m still new around here and I think it’s something worth pointing out.

Carly over at The Less Than Domestic Goddess wrote an awesome post about helping small blogs grow and I totally plan on taking ALL of that advice to heart … and Sabrina (who is my healthy eating and exercise inspiration) has expanded her blog 10fold since I first started reading her about a year ago. Not to mention the wonderful Jenna and Mandy – they are both just really great and entertaining and their audiences are huge.

Those lovely ladies are my ‘new blogging friends’ (in my mind only!) but my mainstay has been my awesome sister-in-law who has taken her little blog to the next step and really rocked out … although now with baby number two the posts are fewer, they are always awesome and let the world know just how she is feeling.

I also have a twitter guru in @BostonKate -(Follow Me!) a friend who is new to the blogging world but really taught me the importance of twitter and I love the relationships it has helped me to develop.

But for me, what I’ve realize, is that blogging is something for me to start to express myself a bit more. Yes my mother reads this … and I think occasionally my husband finds his way here … so some topics might be limited … but I think I am going to be opening up a bit more. I will talk about friendships – how some people are awesome and how some are harder to handle. I will talk about growing up, day by day, week by week.  I will write for you (if you lurkers will come out and say hi that would be great I want to be your friend!). Mostly, though, I will write for me, for a break from the ins and outs and ups and downs. For fun. For a time out.

Woohoo. Go blogging.
