Why do you blog?

When I first started blogging, I had this vision that I was going to become a world known blogger with thousands of followers, and one day I was going to do giveaways and get paid to blog. I tried to have the cutest design in town, made by one of the best blog designers out there and tried to update my blog everyday.

After months of trying to keep up and spending hours in front of my computer I decided that my vision was short lived and that my life would go on if I wasn't a popular blogger. Those giveaways sounded good for a moment but I'm sure they are a lot of work.

I went from being a nanny (keeping up the children) to working at Starbucks and not doing a lot of creative things. I find myself spending less time around a computer and trying to keep up with the house work or making sure I'm cooking dinner five nights a week. It was one of those days that I was home alone and I was probably preparing dinner that I started to question why I blog. Do I blog so I can become popular in the blogging world? Do I blog so I can just type to type? Do I blog so I can pretend I'm keeping up the Kardashians?

I decided then that I want to blog for myself, for my far away friends and family and for my future family. I want to be able to sit down, write about what's going on in our life (wedding planning, weekly updates, weight loss, etc.) and be happy even if no one reads it or comments on it. I hope that someday I can come back to my blog and read about life 5 years ago and see how far we've come. I want to be able to show my children this blog and hope that someday they read about The Mr. and I, when we were young and in love.

I want my represent who I am, how I live and what I do. I really don't have a million friends, I honestly don't have the cutest house on the block and I sure as heck don't have anything free to giveaway!

I'll be around and I'll continue to blog but I'll be making memories and enjoying life as I do it!
