I am so excited to finally be blogging! I have thought about it for awhile, but could never decide what I wanted my blog topic to be. I love to write, so I knew that inevitably I would have to choose something. I make a lot of cakes, cupcakes, and other goodies, so thought about a baking blog for a little while. But, I don't really have much to say about baking in general. Then, I thought about making a cooking blog, but realized that most of the good stuff that I cook comes from other blogs. Then, I started thinking about all of the crafty plans that I have for my daughter's upcoming first birthday, and it hit me!
I am one of those people who likes to dabble a little bit in everything, but for the first time, I am doing it as a mom! My daughter (born in September, 2010) was never around before when I would bake cupcakes for my former students, or cover a cake in fondant as a favor to a friend. For the first time, I am doing all of this stuff with baby in tow, rather than in my spare time, which other mommies are well aware, no longer exists. (The teacher in me really wants to correct that run-on sentence that I just created, but I digress).
One thing that I have found since becoming a mommy is that I love to talk about my daughter, and all of the new things I discover about her each day. I know that at times, I do it to a fault. So, I figured that I will pass along what I learn to other moms, and hopefully gain an interested audience. My friends and family love Vivi to pieces, but I am sure that after awhile, all of my incessant chatter may sound like background noise. What can I say, I am one proud mama. It is our nature to want to brag, and talk about our children, and how wonderful it is to have them. When I brought little Miss Vivi into this world, I consciously made the decision to forever have a piece of my heart walking around outside of my body.
So this blog is my tribute to her, and to the daily path that we follow together. Another day, I will tell her story, and the drama with which she entered this world. But for now, I will leave this post as my "hello and welcome."
