I’ve started yet another fitness kick.
I’ve started yet another morning routine.
I’ve started yet another writing challenge.
Yall, I am the Queen of Starting Stuff Kingdom. I have earned a PhD in Starting Stuffology. I have mastered the martial art of Starting Stuffitsu.
Finishing stuff…not so much.
I have been trying to figure out why I am the way that I am.
Like,
I’m going to be honest – I haven’t been enjoying blogging.
I started this blog back in 2010, when I was in the third trimester of my pregnancy. It was meant to be an online diary of sorts.
Anyone who really knows me knows that I love to write. I used to write all the time growing up. I also kept a series of diaries for several years that I wrote in nearly every day.

I’m sure you have heard the phrase “the early bird gets the worm”. It is a popular way of saying that people who get somewhere first have the best chances of getting what they need. However, my personal interpretation is that people who wake up early in the morning (like the birds that twitter outside my window every morning before the sun has even made an appearance) experience a variety of awesome benefits.
I am always on the lookout for games, toys, and apps that are not only fun, but educational. My son, Christian, loves playing games (what kid doesn’t), so I feel like if he is going to spend so much time playing them, I might as well focus on buying ones that will also teach him valuable concepts. Earlier this year, I was hanging out with my friend and her son (who happens to be my cousin and Christian’s best friend).
One thing that I was surprised to learn when I started genuinely working from home was that it can be a lot more challenging than working a more traditional job. The hours can be longer. It can be more difficult to know exactly when to clock in and when to clock out. One of the things that I struggled with was finding a good balance between my home/family life and my work life. I often found that there wasn’t enough of a boundary between these two aspects of my life.
