My plans for this blog are to try to stick to some kind of a writing schedule.  I know that may be a stretch for me, but I am prepared to try!  I have promised lots of things like traveling tips, seeing dresses I’ve sewn, and a series of posts about me.  Hopefully, this new writing schedule will bring some new routines that will help me be a healthier and more reliable writer.

First off, I would like to say a HUGE congratulations to Rachel Mango for wining this vintage sign.

Now, I will let you in on the writing plans I have for this new site.

On Mondays, I want to write something personal.  It may be about me, my family, our birthdays, our faith, etc.  Of course, there will probably be kid activities, crafts or outing posts in here because those can all be intertwined with something personal.

On Wednesdays, I will write about our homeschooling adventure.  It may be a field trip, an activity, or a tip.  I would love to take you through a “normal” school day for us in a post, but of course, no promises :).

Fridays will remain my Project Spotlight.  In these posts I will show a craft I did that week.  Often they will be DIY projects that will allow you to have step-by-step instructions on how to carry the project out.

Although there are three main days of writing with a topic goal for each day, I know there will be days that I am late or my topics may be slightly off.  But, I have a goal, and that is progress!  I’m sure I will have blog posts on other days as well, but I want to commit to those days for certain.  I have bought a calendar just for my blog to help keep things straight, which I am excited about.

If you have been around here long enough, you know that crafts and DIY projects are a part of me.  So, although there are rough topic sections, crafts will pop up in all of these posts and days.

 

To kick this new style off, I am introducing a five-week series about me.  Every Monday,  for five weeks, I will unfold part of my story and let you get to know “pieces of me”.  The rough titles of these posts are:

• 1 of 9
• Formative Years
• Early Bliss Years
• Raising Kids
• Today

I am excited about it, and I hope you are too!  If you have any questions that you would hope I answer through out this series, please leave me a comment and let me know!

Thanks for checking in today.  I hope you come back tomorrow to see if you are the daily giveaway winner and to see our first ever vlog, featuring two very special interview guests.  🙂
