    My Inspiration to Blog

    by  • August 11, 2011 • Blogging

    Had to stop fooling around with this new theme (probably the 1384744th I’ve used in the past couple weeks :P ) to blog before the day is over. Today’s prompt is:

    What inspired you to create your personal blog? What continues to inspire you?

    I have always enjoyed keeping a journal of my daily ramblings, thoughts, and rants. I made the shift to blogging in 2005, but all the other cool kids were doing it. :) Back then, I was on free spaces like LiveJournal and Vox. It was fun to blog about my daily life as well as my opinions and have others read and comment on them. I was inspired to share my life because it made me some great online friends, many that I have known for 4+ years now.

    I am continued to be inspired to keep up with my blog because I know have a small following of people online that I feel actually care what I have to say. They have been there to offer advice, sympathy, encouragement, and best wishes. Plus, my blog has also helped me get new products to review in my home that I may never tried out myself.

    I Made It!

    I finally completed 30 days of blogging!! I have tried to this 3 or 4 other times, and have failed miserably. Only once did I make it halfway through the month, but then ended up missing a day. This time I was doing NaBloPoMo, which I think helped me complete the entire challenge.I am quite excited that I was able to remember to blog every day, especially with the everything that was going on toward the end of the month with Thanksgiving and all.

    To celebrate my achievement, I’ll be posting a giveaway tomorrow! I haven’t done one in a while, since none of my past ones have been very popular. This one will be for a gift card, which is a great prize to win this time of year! :D

    Perfectly Content

    by  • September 11, 2010 • Pregnancy

    I have decided that my little monkey is perfectly content on staying in my womb. He has made no indications of wanting to come out. I think he enjoys kneeing and “butting” my ribs. I keep telling him that he would just make his appearance to the world, he would have a TON of room to move around! He doesn’t listen though, which makes me think he’s going to be stubborn like his mama! :happy:

    My doctor’s appointment on Thursday indicated zero progress. I am still at 2cm, 70% effaced. My doctor believes that I’ve pretty much progressed as much as I am going to on my own. She thinks it will take labor for me to finish dilating and effacing. She did not mention inducing this week, but I am sure she is still considering it. He measured a week ahead yet again, and she keeps commenting on how big of a baby he is going to be. Hopefully he will decide to come on his own before it comes to her wanting to induce me!

    Last week I mentioned my mommy blog that I have recently started. I cannot get motivated to update it, so I am not sure if I will keep it going or not. I may just use it to review baby and household products, because I will soon have tons of experience with things in those categories! That will allow me to keep any product reviews off of Southern Girl Ramblings. At first, I thought I wanted to keep my life separately from parenting and Sawyer, but since that will be my life soon, why keep it separate?
