I have recently discovered the world of blogs. I know, I know. I am
very behind the curve and as an avid reader I should have jumped into the world of
blogging a lot sooner - as its like having 100 good books on the go, that u can dip in and out of!
This is how I now find myself, sitting here, posting my first post on my actual very own, proper grown up blog! Yes, I did just grin to myself! I haven't a clue what I am doing. I have no idea on layout, options, what I should and shouldn't be doing. The more I think about it the more I realise I am totally clueless and in the dark about blogs, blogging, being a blogger (or is it a bloggee? Or have I made that up, if I have I like it). But hey ho, I am jumping in, and having a go! Why not eh!
Why have I called it Making Memories? Well firstly, my wonderful husband (questioning myself as to whether I have to give him some sort of code? Is husband ok? Should I or should I not name him? First note to self, look into this!) Okay sorry, where was I? Oh yes, my blog's name...my husband ended his wedding speech nearly 9 years ago with "raise your glasses to us all making many more Memories". So making memories has been a bit of a family saying for us ever since.
So when on New Year's Eve I posted a fb picture of a jar that hubby, myself and my 2 daughters (2nd note to self - work out what codes/names the girls need/are having) had been filling all year with our little moments, I did not expect to be 2 months later with my own little business, website and now a shiny new blog! Memorymakerjars.co.uk was born on New Year's Day and is officially my new baby and I am secretly hoping it will fill the looming empty nest syndrome I can see waiting in the wings as my youngest starts "big school" in September.
I wrote next to the photo of our jar "can't wait to open this on New Year's Day". Well when I woke (albeit gingerly thanks to toffee vodka) to lots of comments and texts asking about the jar - where I got it, that they loved it and wanted one, I felt like something special may have just happened. Memory makers was born that day!!!!
I am tiptoeing through so many new worlds at the mo, business, twitter, facebook, seo, blogs....you get the idea - its a steep learning curve but after almost 7 years of being a full time Mum I am enjoying the new challenge, which I am squeezing in and juggling during those precious daytime
child free hours. You know those hours, when you can sit at
your pc, without typing round a little person sat on ur lap drawing a picure).
So memorymakermoments is my journey. My journey in and through these
new worlds, with my gorgeous family right there with me!
