Why Blog? Commenting Challenge Day 2

Day 2:

Tell us about your blog. What do you blog about? Why do you blog? How did you start blogging? What kinds of things do you/are you willing to share with the world? Where do you find your topic inspiration? (Hint: Don't share about your social media just yet!)

I began blogging 3 years ago after reading my friend's daughter's blog about a trip to Spain.  I was amazed at the detail in her writing.  I felt like I was there!  


I always loved writing and did lots of it journal style as I was growing up.  My blog topics at first began with my daily thoughts that ran through my mind as I was facing the realization that my children were no longer "children' anymore and that they were growing up.  Too fast...might I add.  My blog evolved to be about my daily life and just those random things that go on in life.  Some days you will also see the occasional sharing of celebrations and proud moments as well as the occasional weekly/monthly meme or challenge.  I enjoy reading other blogs and besides getting my inspiration from favorite blogs, I also get my inspiration from life.  It is funny how much more you pay close attention to the little things in life when you know you want to blog about it. :)  This is my break from the real world and I love reading about how others get through their journeys whether that is their daily anecdotes, life in pictures, cooking lessons, things their babies do, married life, crafty inspirations...etc... It is great to see how many blessings there are going on in the world.  

Commenting Challenge Day 1

As I stumbled across the blog world last night, I came across Jenna's Journey blog.  She is having a blog challenge and I do love challenges.  I attempted the A to Z one, but was not quite successful.  So, I am going to try this one to see how it goes.  The fun part is meeting new bloggers. :)  Besides it is just for one week!  How hard can that be?  I'm starting late, but will catch up.  If you are interested please go here to find out more.

Todays Topic:

Tell us about YOU! What's your name? Where do you live? Who lives with you? Do you work outside the home? Have kids? Pets? (Psst! Don't spill the beans about your blog or hobbies quite yet!).

If you have not been here to my blog, Welcome!  I am Michelle.  I am married to a wonderful, fun loving, adventurous man who was also my high school sweetheart.  He keeps our life fun and interesting!  I have two children.  My daughter is about to turn 21 and my son just had his 14th birthday.  I live with my 3 characters in the hot state of Texas.  (By the way, it is VERY HOT right now!  We are having 3 digit degree heat!)  I do work in the education field.  I lead a school of approximately 850 students in grades PK-5th grade.  I love what I do and could not see myself doing anything else.  I knew at a very young age that I would have a career that involved kids, so I am blessed to be living my dream.  So, there you have it...a bit about me.
