\"\"<\/a>I would just like to welcome everyone to the first post on The Sweet Life!<\/p>\n

Since this is my first post, I feel it absolutely necessary to share some highly pertinent information on how I arrived at this place of having my own blog.<\/p>\n

Two months ago I decided that I was going to plan a birthday party for my kids. So what do you do when you need to plan a party? You hit the web- and that is exactly what I did. Over those two months of research, I found an incredible amount of information and really became enamored with the Blog World. I then started following a few blogs regularly. My Bookmark Bar was really becoming extensive with Blogs that I HAD to read every day. I became obsessed, addicted, and most importantly inspired. I was so impressed with the thought and ideas that everyone shared. I thought wow!! This is a great creative outlet to share anything that personally interests you. I then started to learn that you really didn’t need to have any prerequisites or experience to have your own blog. That’s when I got the crazy idea.<\/p>\n

I had been thinking about creating a blog just over the last week. I always seem to have all of these amazing ideas to do something that is exciting and challenging and then I wind up talking myself out of it for one reason or another. Usually its the obvious reasons- lack of time, lack of time, lack of time! Not this time though. Over dinner the other night I asked my husband and three littles to listen up, Mama had an important announcement. I said, I am going to create my own Blog. That’s when I heard: a laugh (as in are you kidding?), what’s a blog?, and my heart saying maybe you are not ready for this. My husband said, I am not really sure how to create a blog. I said, that is ok because I think I do. He was stunned because I usually need his help with anything technologically related as well as all other things. I am what you call a dependent. Again, not this time. I was going to learn and do it all by myself.<\/p>\n

Well it is now 4:45 in the morning. I began my creative endeavor around 9:30ish. I am not sure if this post will be published today but I am sure willing to try! I am proud of myself and I know that my family will be proud too. I have my birthday party all planned and I ended up with my own blog! Wow!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
