So... Blogging?

I've tried blogging on and off for a while now. I have a difficult time committing to be honest with you, but I'm giving it a real college try this time (complete with blog planning, haha). I'd like to share my experiences with the world. I'm a full time mother. I have a full time job. I am trying to get healthy. I love to cook. My hubby and I are working on not being terrible with money and working on buying our own home and raising a two year old. There's so much to share, so why not blog? 

I have read, in other blogs, that the most effective way to start a blog, and then keep with it is to plan it out. Well... I try... but... I seem to have floods of ideas all at once, followed by dry spells. So I write them all down, and I start writing the post immediately. I may not publish it that day, but I've got a pretty good foundation going so that I can write a little more, tweak some formatting, and get that bitch posted. I usually tend to do this on my day off, and a binge write for a couple hours. This is fine by me because it's relaxing and gives me something productive to do all at the same time. Like today, I have started writing 6 posts, and I've got ideas for 3 or 4 more. So instead of planning what I write, I guess this week I will plan what I post. Haha. 

Here's the command center! 

This is where I do my planning, and some of my writing, and mostly just pile crap up until I have a major purge session to clean it all up and get it back to looking like this. Haha. I like to write on the go so the Blogger App on my iPad has been truly awesome. It still allows me to write down my ideas in Blogger, then I just log in on my computer to do the fine tuning and the editing and boom, ready to publish. GREAT idea. 

Also, here's the graphic on my desk, just in case anyone likes it!
