Whatever!

I just found a blog called "Whatever", and I love it! The name describes such a wide array of meanings that I didn't know what I would find when I opened the door into the story and snippets of the blogger's world. What I DIDN'T find was that sarcastic, snotty "whatever" I sometimes feel or even say! What I found was the story of a family of 7 shown in mostly pictures and captions. The "whatever" I found was the "whatever" life throws them. "Whatever" they're doing. "Whatever" they want their lives to be. And it was inspiring to me as a wife, mother, woman, daughter, sister, friend and blogger.

Every now and then we all lose sight of what is important. We let the everyday stresses take over and allow the happy, joyful moments that pop in and out of our lives to go unnoticed or view them as being unimportant at that moment. I am guilty of this. But seeing the fun this family has makes me take pause and reflect on what is important to me! For this, I thank "Whatever". If you can, take a look at their blog.

Blogging Complex

Since starting this little blog. (And by little I mean small. And by small I mean sometimes I have no idea what I'm doing blogging. And by that I mean.....I wonder if anyone really cares what I'm talking about. Because I seem to be mostly talking about my kids, Jake & Laney and giveaways.) I have heard it all! From kudos to questions of why?! So it makes me think. Am I really reaching anyone? And if I am....what do they take away from HTB?!?!?!?!

I have a million ideas for the HTB blog but sometimes I'm not sure how to execute them. In hopes of being inspired I surf the net looking at some fantastic blogs out there in cyberspace and regularly come across blogs that are already centered around those millions of ideas I have. It's all been done before. I get a bit discouraged. Then I think......EVERYTHING IN LIFE has been done before! So I guess I should just jump into it! Blog about what makes me go "hmmmmmm", have a laugh doing it and make some blogging friends along the way!

The first thing to accomplish is a new look for HTB. It's in the works so, CHECK! Second thing, create buzz. Ok....now I think there's been a little buzz out there about HTB so I guess I can say CHECK to this one, too, but I also understand that this is a constant goal! The third thing, GET A FANTASTIC CAMERA! This will have to wait until Santa decides to come a knocking, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, MAKE CHRISTMAS LIST & BE A GOOD GIRL!

In the meantime, I will continue to explore my world around me. Read a bit more, find inspiration in the things I experience and write it all down here ~ for you to read. I just keep telling myself....if you blog it...they will come! I hope!
