Blasted Blogging... and my Billabong Jacket!
You thought you had me figured right?
Did you figure I'd change my mind again?
Well, I did!
I've decided to just post twice a day here!
I can still post my daily look w/o having a whole other blog for it right?
Two posts/day here... one for what I'm wearing and one for what ever is scheduled that day.
That is my new plan!
Here is my look for today... of course what I'm really wearing today is sweats! I've been waiting for today! The kids don't have school, we are decorating for Christmas, I've got tunes blasting and we are getting festive!
I wore this recently. I bought this Billabong jacket last year on clearance. Comfy, wore it all day long, like a shirt! Love that fuzzy fleece up by my face!
I paired it with my pleather leggings, and my combat boots.
Oh this blogging thing!
Sometimes it sure throws me for a loop!
Sometimes I loose my balance with this. As with many things in my life I need to bring it all back, I need to center myself again, I need to put things into perspective... that is SO my life word!
Not too long ago I went ahead and created a new blog for myself (CCMcAfeePerspectiveWIW)... because we all need 5 blogs don't we? I love posting my daily looks... and honestly, a lot, probably the majority of my traffic, is related to this. So, I figured I'd create a blog just for that, because as I look around, make friends, some of them are really just fashion specific... and really, would they want to come follow me as I post about my family, how to decorate, take pictures... blah blah?
So I spent hours and hours developing my new blog... I have done all of the designing of my blogs all on my own! I have tried to pimp that blog out! I have gotten new followers, directed traffic there... oh heavens, and now I am wondering why!
It's the formatting, the niche finding, all of the swirling madness that people tell you you need to do in the business of blogging that took me in that direction.
Now I think I'm crazy for creating another monster!
So, here I am trying to figure it all out again!
Am I really interested in the business of blogging? Um, yes... and no!
I need to talk this out.
Finding my center...
1- I have an amazing husband that takes such good care of our family... I don't have to work, I get to stay home with my kids and develop my talents and interests just for my own personal growth.
Am I doing this for $? Nope!
Don't get me wrong, as long as I'm learning and developing and growing if I can make a few bucks... I'll take it! But never at the cost of my own peace of mind or that of my family's... mostly! :)
Which brings me to 2- If I'm not doing this for $, why am I doing this?
Answer: For our family... if none of you fabulous people ever came back to read about my life, well, I'd still be writing about it!
True statement: This past year I've tried to structure my blogging as to share more about the many things I do, not just our family life.
The why to that? For some reason I draw great satisfaction feeling like I've inspired someone! That may be through my faith, a craft I've made, a struggle I've overcome, running, my photography or yes, even what I've chosen to wear!!!
Do I enjoy blogging? Yes.
Can I streamline to make this better? Yes.
Am I still figuring it all out? Yes.
Can I make changes? Yes.
Is it worth it? Yes.
Are numbers really what I should be worried about? No.
Do I care about the people who come here? TOTALLY!
Do I want to grow? YES!
Do I want to deliver content you are interested in? OF COURSE!
So, I'll keep on trucking!
Trying to find my way... figuring it all out as I organize the things I do, who I am, and how to best share those.
Thank you, really, for visiting! I genuinely makes me happy, and matters to me!
Sorry if I confuse you as I change things around!!!
