I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while, and I am finally sitting down to do it. There are a number of reasons I have decided to. I first became really interested in starting one after reading the book Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected by Kelle Hampton. I started following her blog Enjoying the Small Things , and I have made many great connections through it. I have enjoyed reading the stories that other women are experiencing as moms, sisters, wives, friends and more. I enjoy reading about other people's experiences through a raw and honest voice. I hope to be able to do the same here. Welcome to my journey.
