a birthday wish…

Aug 20, 2018

I’ve been going back and forth with the idea of blogging for a couple years now. I bought my domain name back in 2016 and it’s basically just sat there since. If you read my bio, you’ll see life has been a little hectic for me the past few years, so I felt like I couldn’t justify taking the time to just sit and write… last week, however, I celebrated my 25th birthday and took some time to reflect on the ever-lingering desire to blog. I have come to the conclusion that there’s never going to be a “good” time to start. There will always be other things I should probably be doing or other things that need my attention more, but I’ve decided my birthday wish this year is to use this blog to write about my life and how we are happily, though sometimes stress-fully, living life as a young family in a big city, and hopefully I am able to help other mamas out there who may be looking for encouragement or inspiration to do the same.

So, in the coming weeks, months, beyond, I’m going to hold myself accountable to dedicating time to this blog. It might be a little rough right out of the gate, but I hope you’ll stick with me and see where this venture takes me. Feel free to comment ideas for posts, tips, positive vibes and well wishes. I look forward to the relationships and communication that will blossom over time!

xx. the windy city mama
