It's About Time For a Contest... Don't ya think?

This blog used to be about dieting. I thought that writing about my struggles and success would inspire others that were unhappy with their appearances. I hit my goal weight (and more) in less than a year. 69 pounds down. I've been maintaining my weight for over six months now. I don't have much to write about dieting anymore. Not enough for a blog about dieting anyway.

The weight watching is just one aspect of my life. First and most importantly, I'm a mama to a fun, energetic, smart, little three year old girl. I'm a stay at home mom, who used to work as Counselor before having my kiddo. In addition to my little girl, our family includes a 12 year cat named after a Beatle!

I started my Etsy shop a couple months ago. I've been making jewelry. Not trying to sound like a salesperson with a pitch here, but my bracelets and rings, pendants and children's jewelry are meant to be fun. They are colorful and unique (like a garden fairy's wings). This is a jewelry line that doesn't take itself too seriously!

I enjoy being creative. Whether I am knitting (my newest hobby), coloring with my kiddo or writing poems and short stories, I like to use my fingers to create.

Those that like to write usually love to read. I am an avid reader. I love books. I love the tangible aspect of a heavy book in my hands. I love the smell of a new book. I HAVE to be in the process of reading a book at ANY GIVEN TIME!

So now that you have a little history, let me tell you my plans.

I want to retool this blog. New Name. New feel. New posts.

There will be posts on dieting still, but I want to also blog about the books I've read (like Book Review Thursdays), post about my jewelry, blog about mommyhood and also post excerpts of a short story that I'll be writing soon.
