Inspiration

Inspiration. It’s a loaded word. I’d love to be constantly inspired, but too often I just trudge along with the daily trudging. I had a previous blog that was for updating my family and friends on my life. It was boring. It was so boring that the last time I updated it was years ago. I’d admire other people’s blogs and I wondered why mine was so boring. Then about a week ago inspiration struck. I hadn’t found my writing angle, my voice. I was trying to format my blog the way I had seen other blogs, and my entries did not always flow.

I have to thank my daughter for the inspiration. My middle one to be specific, because well I have three of them. She loves clothes as much as I do, but the combinations that she sometimes puts together are hilarious. We were walking my oldest daughter to school one day and my middle was wearing her pjs. It wasn’t worth the argument to me. When we got home she got dressed and we went to swim lessons. When we got home she put on her big sister’s bright green tutu from last year’s dance recital. She loves this thing. Since it is winter I had her put pants on and a sweater to pick her sister up. She decided to also accessorize with a Mini Mouse hat. The previous day she wore the same tutu with dress up heels, and her 6 month old sister’s vest. Oh and bunny ears. And so because of her I had inspiration, and the start of this blog. I hope you enjoy reading.
