First post of 2012...!

Happy New Year everyone!

Yes, I'm still awake...

I'm going to bed as soon as I post this, promise.  I just really wanted to play with Blogger a little bit and get something posted ASAP.  One of my resolutions for 2012: start a blog.  So, here it is.

When I was brainstorming resolutions, blogging kept coming to my mind.  I'm not sure if Blogger lets you see when its blogs are first created, but if you can, you'll notice that I started this blog back in 2009 (don't quote me on that--it was a few years ago).  I had good intentions, but never stuck with it for some reason.  This is the year that I stick with it!  I can feel it!

I really hope I'm not setting myself up for failure, but for my resolution I want to write not for just one blog--but two!  

For this blog I hope to document more of my daily life and more importantly I want to document more of my girls' lives.  When I was in high school I kept a journal, and I'm so glad that I did!  It is so fun to go back and read about things that I have long since forgotten or to reference when specific events in my life took place.  In the future I'd love it if my girls could look back on my blog and get a glimpse of what their lives were like when they were little.  I'll also probably mix up my posts with a little bit of--hmm--everything.  Everything that I enjoy.  Family.  Faith.  Cooking.  Fashion.  Housekeeping.  Organizing.  School.  Reading.  Self-improvement.  Crafting.  Y'know, anything that comes to mind.  I'm sorry in advance for the randomness.  I plan to learn how to be a better blogger, but I figured I'd just learn as I go.  If I kept waiting for "the perfect time," I would never begin.  Beginning this blog is what's important to me.  I can fine-tune it later.

The second blog that I want to start is a beauty blog!  If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with beauty/makeup products.  O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D.  I love makeup!  It's my hobby.  I discovered the online beauty community through a Google search (God bless Google) which led me to a video from MakeupByTiffanyDI have been hooked on YouTube ever since.  While I love watching beauty videos and keeping up with beauty blogs, it's not enough for me anymore to just watch/read.  I want to be involved too!  So, I'm going to get my feet wet with a blog and hopefully a YouTube channel will go live too.  Honestly, I'm afraid of my camera.  I'll just add "face your fears" to my resolutions list.  Be on the lookout for my new beauty blog :).

When I wake up, next post:  A list of all my 2012 New Year's Resolutions.
 
Goodnight!
