I’ve struggled with the direction I should take this blog. It started as a fun way to advertise my writing services, and also to write about the thing that I enjoyed most; traveling with my husband, Adam. I spent a few months writing posts of all the adventures we took and I enjoyed the feedback and conversations with my readers through email. It is truly a blessing to hear from others that took the time to read my work. And thank you to those that reached out to me.
Why Change My Blog?
Now, if I had so much fun writing about my travels, why would I want to change the blog? Well, over the past year, life handed us a blessing that has changed our lives in so many wonderful ways; we welcomed our baby girl. She is our joy, our light. Her giggles remove our stress and her smile reminds us of all things good. We named her Jane Peyton and she is absolutely beautiful! Needless to say, Adam and I haven’t had time to travel as often as we used to. Lately, our time has been filled with learning how to be parents and striving to give our daughter experiences that will educate and establish lasting and fun memories.
I guess you can say that the one thing I enjoy most has changed. Instead of seeing new places and meeting new people from around the world, I’ve come to find joy in watching our daughter learn how to crawl, try her first strawberry and watch her sleep peacefully on my chest (silent moment in heaven). My new adventure is parenthood and while it is often stressful, messy, confusing and emotional, it is also amazing, exciting, fulfilling and blissful. It’s a never ending roller coaster.
Mommy Steps
Back to my original point, It is time to change the focus of my blog. I will definitely keep my travel section up and ongoing; that is when my husband and I decide to be daring enough to take an infant on a long trip. You will notice that my blog will take on a new look and a new primary section; Mommy Steps, which will highlight the everyday adventures in parenting. I am very excited to share all that I have learned, my experiences as a new mom and my concerns. Parenting is the hardest job, but it is also very rewarding and I am excited to share everything with you!
Let this blog be a community where parents and travelers can come together to share experiences, support and provide judgement free advice. I enjoy hearing from my readers, please reach out to me through my contact page. Also, share my posts with your friends and family. Thank you!
