The Beginning.....

So this blog has been a sort of 'secret' endeavor I've taken on in the past month.  I've been piecing it together, little by little.  It's nice that I'm finally feeling satisfied with the results.  I have a tumblr that I love, but the problem with its design is  it's more favorable towards pictures than typed content.  So I decided back in December that I wanted a blog that was more customizable.  I would keep my Tumblr as an 'inspiration' blog, and this blog for written posts.

What do I hope to accomplish with this blog?

The focus, or mission of this blog is to inspire and inform potential readers about certain topics.  These will include traveling (places I've been and want to go), thrifting finds, baking adventures, and makeovers of ugly things.  I'm sure I will have a few other posts about life, maybe things I'm reading.  The great thing about a blog is that it can hold you accountable for things that you know you need to do (but might be too lazy to do).  It can also inspire people and motivate them to do things or go places.

I'm still developing things I can write about on a weekly basis.  I'm getting started on writing country/city experiences and travel tips.

So this will be a on-going work in progress, I'm closing on my house on Friday (Lord willing!) and then fixing it up (cleaning, painting, putting in new floors) and slowly moving my stuff in.  I'm making mental notes to take as many pictures of the things I change (which is mostly everything! hah) and an overall House Before/After also! So I'm excited to have a place to share those changes with people.
