Blogging, blogging, blogging. Where do I begin.
I started this journey to break the monotony of being a SAHM with a small baby. At the time Lil Mama was just 3 months. I was only looking for an outlet, that somehow turned into what seems like a way of life.
While I celebrated my blog anniversary a few months ago, my official move to WP occured January 2010. With my 2nd anniversary just around the corner, again like everyone else I have pondered long and hard about the direction, if any this blog will take in 2012.
For NOW, I have decided to try and grow my little space here in the blogosphere. Blogging is really opening doors and creating opportunities. I would be a fool to not at least TRY to take advantage.
That being said. The content here will not change, but there may be a sponsored post here or there and you may see a few ads in the sidebar. I may link to a product in a normal post or do a giveaway…but the content will not change. I promise to never bring anything here that isn’t relevant.
While the content will remain the same I am also going to expand it a bit to be a little more lifestyle centric. Things that I do in my real life that I don’t document here you will see more of. Like burning up 3 batches of homemade cookies or recipes that I try and fail. Like I don’t share enough already, you will soon be seeing a little more into my life….like you care.
I am also going to start a 52 week project. I’ve seen other bloggers participate in such projects and I would like to post a picture every Wednesday of my children or my family to document their/our growth. Gives me an opportunity to track their growth and work on my photography skills. My camera has been treated like a step child the past few months.
I’m excited for the new year. I really am. I have a few possible partnerships with other bloggers and features and events on the horizon. Hang on for the ride.
I really appreciate all of you for stopping by here.
If you blog, do you have any changes planned for the new year?
This is a way of life fool! *crip walks on your RSS Feed*

December 28, 2011 at 8:13 amCongrats on your blogiversary and all of the new opportunities that are in store for you. I’m hanging on for the ride! I don’t really have anything in store for 2012 on my blog. Just lil old me. My blog is still a baby, so you never know. Maybe next year I will have a post similar to this one.

I’m changing things up a little too– my original blog was a fashion blog– then I changed over to what I’m doing now when I moved to WP because my life changing from working in corporate America in a big city to being a SAHM in a small town but I’m bringing back the fashion post and adding some other things. Good luck on your changes– Looking forward to reading.

December 29, 2011 at 12:49 pmMimi! Can you not blog bang son! lmao That just had me rollin!
I don’t plan to change much about my blog at all. I like it just fine lol. I plan to have more Jasmine stories because they never end. I might start doing some reviews on hair products because I try different stuff on me and Jas. That’s pretty much it.

I’m right here with you about elevating my blogger status. I mean, it’s the 2012 thing to do. #teamhustlehard
