after I put the littles down for their naps yesterday and I had a chance to sit myself, I was looking over my space here and I realized it needed some sprucing up. I still want to keep it a simple space, but things in my life have changed a bit since I began writing and my topics of choice are proof. After becoming a mom, my attention has been solely on my kiddos. They are still very young so I am still learning and growing in parenthood. I used to sit on pinterest and browse craft boards and DIY pins, now I am looking for healthy recipes for picky kids and how to make yummy baby food, alternative methods for bringing down fevers, and photos to match the rash my kid got at random. This stuff takes over. I still have my same passions... being a chemical free household, making my own products using natural ingredients like essential oils, raising chickens for eggs and growing gardens for veggies, etc...its just that now I have other important things to worry about. Once I thought about this, I realized I needed to re name my space so that it was more "me". While "A Natural Approach" was exactly what I was taking the last two years, "the caffeinated mama" is way more appropriate now lol. It gives a little humor to the life I'm living, and I'm sure a lot of other mamas (and dads) are on the same page. The new name shows my love of the beverage, which I am always talking about...and that its a "mom" who is ranting here.
So, my topics will continue to vary...but at least now it will make more sense. I'm just here to have fun, to have a place where I can think out loud, share some things with those who care to read, and follow other bloggers who have the same interests as myself. I love to write and so I will. One of my goals for this year was to focus more on this space...I'm holding myself to it. I have only been at this for two years but am looking forward to growing it more and more.
