I Guess I’m a Blogger Now

When I was a kid, I never said “I want to be a blogger when I grow up.” It has taken years of people telling me a should start a blog, getting stuck in a career rut, and a supportive husband for me to do this. Not to mention that when I was a kid, the internet wasn’t even a thing yet. I have basically had a blog in my head forever, and am now working up the courage to share it with the world. I will turn the appropriate portion of my inner monologue into content that will amuse, enlighten, and inspire. Since I’m limiting myself to what is “appropriate,” I hope to have something to write about…

One of the reasons it took me so long to start this, is I had no idea what to write about! My passions include: family, health, fitness and fashion…like EVERYONE else who has a blog! Those topics are well represented and I didn’t want to step on any toes ;).

As the wife of a realtor, I consider myself a “wannabe realtor.” I get more excited about my husband’s job than anyone who is actually in his profession.  Being the spouse of a realtor gives me a unique perspective on Real Estate, and basically makes me an expert (I feel like I need some sort of sarcasm emoji or something I could use until you get to know me).  I have also seen enough HGTV to be a pro on all things remodeling. Chip and Joanna are #GOALS. Being a “real estate professional by proxy,” and HGTV poser doesn’t polish up well on a resume. I could let my expertise go to waste, or I could start a blog.

I plan to write about this crazy housing market, marriage, kids, food, fashion, health and anything else that pops into my random brain that could be of value. I hope it will be somewhat cohesive, vaguely informative and undeniably hilarious (maybe I should rearrange those adjectives).

Full disclosure: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M DOING (and I love parenthesis)! I hope to learn as I go (fingers crossed) and years from now, I will look back on this very post, and giggle in embarrassment at what an amateur I was. I also just realized BWI (Blogging while intoxicated) could be a thing, and I’m kind of worried about that. So, if I say anything that you don’t agree with, just assume I was drunk. If you notice a pattern, stage an intervention.

I thrive in a suburb of Seattle with two toddler girl's, a teenage daughter and my handsome Realtor husband. I'm a work in progress focussed on slowing down and shifting my attention where to where it needs to be, my family. When I'm not helping husband with his work and chasing my kiddos around, I love to cook, shop, exercise and anything else to avoid housework.
