Here we go!

So, why exactly am I starting a blog?  

1.  First of all, to stop cluttering up the Facebook feeds of all my friends.  Not than anyone has said anything negative yet, but I often feel bad about constantly posting stuff.  I don't want to be perceived as someone who has an inflated sense of self-importance to believe that the everyday person out there really cares about the minutiae of my daily life.  At least with a blog, the reader has chosen to be here.  

2.  To encourage myself to keep my photography skills sharp.  I love to take photos of special occasions, vacations, etc., but I feel like I need to do a better job of recognizing the beauty in the mundane.  For me, the best way to do that is through photography.  But what do I do with these photos?  A blog!

3.  To have a place to ponder in writing some of the things that are running through my mind - a soapbox of sorts.  Don't worry, I plan to keep these posts to a minimum, but sometimes you've just got to get something off your chest and into words.

4.  To share new recipes I've tried and projects that I've completed.  I've been lucky to be a stay-at-home domestic diva for almost two years, and I've learned a lot in that time.  Now I'll have a place to share those experiences and maybe inspire someone else to try something new.

So, welcome to my blog!
