so, apparently i suck at goodbyes. or rather, i suck at letting go.
what can i say. i love semper fi momma.
this blog has been a part of me since 2009, i should have known i wouldn’t be able to walk away.
but, i’m coming back to it a bit differently.
yes, i’m a USMC wife. yes, i’m a momma. yes, i love both of these sides of my life.
however
as i stated in my last post, i am more than just a mommy and USMC wife.
i am a woman. i have things that i love. things that i don’t love. other sides to me that i want to share.
sure, i’ll probably still talk about my kids, deployment, military life, and all that jazz.
but all that isn’t my main focus.
i am my focus here.
this is my space. to talk about me, what i’m doing, vent, and get a little saucy. to write about whatever it is i want to write about in the moment in which i wish to write about it in. in the beginning, when i first started my blog, it was to try and share my world as a military wife with whoever actually cared enough to read about it. then, i did that really dumb thing that all of us silly newbie bloggers do, drool over my stats. like a boss!! moron. and i tried to write what i thought people wanted to read. stats dropped or a day or maybe even a week and immediately i’d prep my noose. sad right? i think i’ve switched my focus on this blog more times than i’ve switched out my seasonal decor. (wait…. i don’t even really decorate. oh well you get the point) anyhoo, my point is that i’m getting back to blogging for me. yes, i care about my readers. appreciate them. adore them. but if my readers are really my readers, then they’ll appreciate the more authentic, true to thy self, me.
so ya, it’s all coming out. you know how when we often have that brain to mouth filter? well, this is my blog, so i’m ditching the filter, too. you know, if i feel like it. because i can.
my blog.
my space.
my brain.
my words.
my thoughts.
my feelings.
my blog.
Semper Fi Momma = balancing life as a USMC wife and momma while remembering to stay Always Faithful to myself
We’re all in this together; it’s peaks and valleys… Drive On!
I was wondering if you’d be back. So happy to see you’re reclaiming your space!!
Woot woot!! Xoxo
Yay! I think it’s important to have somewhere for YOU. Can’t wait to see what you have to share!
It is. And I think before I let this place side away from ‘ME’. I’m ready to reclaim it.
Thank you, Natalie!
Welcome back!
Thank you Mama Kat!
Good for you, Laura!
Love it.
<3 thx!
So glad to see you’re back from what we’ll call your “hiatus”! I can’t wait to see the new direction your site takes!
Thank you, Elizabeth. I think it’s easy for us wifey gals to get lost and consumed in the military life. Of course we’re proud to supports our spouses, but we have to remember we deserve to reserve some of our faithfulness to ourselves, as well.
I don’t think I could love this more if it were peppered with pictures of puppies and kittens and unicorns. You are AWESOME. Get it, girl!
HA!!! Thanks Jessica.
