To Blog or Not to Blog?

When I first heard about blogging, my first thought was, "I could and would never do that, PERIOD!" This past year, I discovered the world of blogging and have fallen in love with this trendy form of communication.

My interest in blogging was peaked after a friend and I went to see the movie Julie & Julia. I began searching  for some baking/cooking sites to follow. It was a little difficult to find what I was looking for, until one day, I saw an article in our local newspaper about Ree Drummond. She lives on a ranch and blogs about her life and the food she cooks. Ree Calls herself, and her blog,  The Pioneer Woman.

I love her blog for many reasons. The thing I fell in love with the most is the way she includes pictures of every step of her recipes. Those who really know me, know that for me to love a cookbook, it has to have pictures of the recipes. Ree hit that one out of the park!

The past four years have been about me stepping out of my comfort zone. So far I have taken some big leaps. As for the question "To Blog or Not to Blog?" Well,  I'm hopping over that huge PERIOD and blogging.  Here we go.

Yesterday, my pastor posted an interesting take on Ezra 3:3. I posted it on my Facebook  page and it helps to motivate me.

Most worthwhile things involve risk. If you wait for the fear to subside, you'll never do it. from Ezra 3:3

 

You may be wondering, "What is this blog's genre?" 

It will be a little bit of everything, new purchases,  happenings around town, funny things in my life and, of course, some cooking and baking. No blog would be complete without pictures.  Pictures are worth a thousand words. Pictures, pictures and more pictures. Sometimes, it will be just quick blurbs and pictures.

I'm new to this blogging stuff, so for now, I'm pretty generic on my background and everything else. I even went to the Mt. Pleasant Library and checked out one of the gazillion Dummies books. If anyone out there has any tips, please share, I'm all about sharing and helping.
