28 Days of Blogging

Lately I've been thinking about how to get into my writing a little bit more.  I really do enjoy writing, but most of it takes place with pen & paper.  There's definitely something about the crispy white pages of a new notebook & the smooth ink of a great pen.  There's also definitely something about a full notebook, scribbled on pages, filled with a rainbow of colored pens ... something just feels right about it.  But, as someone who has 3 blogs & is a contributor to a 4th, I realize that pen & paper is just not the wave of the future.  Because of this, I'm setting a goal for myself ... & for you, if you'd like to join in.

introducing ... 28 Days of Blogging! 


This is perfect timing, since February is the shortest month of the year.  I'm setting the goal to blog every single day of the next month, even if it's just a simple sentence or two... or even a picture.  As long as I'm spending a few moments minimum on my own blog, I'll be proud.

Well, what do you think? Who's in? Let me know!

welcomed inspiration.

tonight i'm feeling inspired.  i think it's because of the blog i've been practically obsessing over.  every spare minute (b's naps, etc) i've been trying to read.  because it's that good.  it's peaceful.  reading her blog makes me feel at peace & Lord knows, sometimes, i just need a big, giant pile of peace at my house.  and right now is one of those times.  so i'm grasping, pulling & fighting to read every last peace of this blog & to feel as inspired & creative as it makes me want to feel.

in honor of the inspiration:

- i gave myself a pedicure & manicure.

- i left my camera in arm's reach all afternoon.  i'm always thinking "man, if only i could reach the camera!" to capture some moment.  i'm making it a goal to keep my camera around more often.  i'd even like to take it places- shocking, i know, because we're always saying "why didn't we bring the good camera?"  no more saying it, from now on, we're doing it.

- i finally signed b up for swim lessons & they start on thursday!

- we went to mommy & me gym time, where i have met a lovely mama, who i may just become friends with :)

and now, if only the snow would melt again & the temperature would rise, we could do some real stuff, like, outside.  stuff i've been itching to do for at least a month now ... stuff we will do as soon as the weather permits.
