Where do I begin?!
Starting a blog seems almost overwhelming at the moment. There is so much to think about with designing the website, choosing pictures, and thinking about what I have to say that someone on the web would find interesting or helpful to their lives. I tend to procrastinate at times and get overwhelmed by perfecting an item, a project or story. (For example, I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a few years now!)
But some good advice I’ve heard recently is to simply just start, knowing that I’m not going to be the best writer, or know how to take the best pictures, but that these things take time to learn and develop.
While I was thinking this over earlier this morning, drinking my coffee and having a quiet mental moment to myself, my 4 year old daughter’s voice broke into my thoughts “Mom! I think Sister is done eating, there’s yogurt EVERYWHERE!”
Sure enough, our little 1 year old had flung her spoon away, choosing her hands instead to scoop the white goop up into her mouth. The remainder of her yogurt-seed mix breakfast was smeared in every possible fold of her clothes. Her hair was dotted with the tiny pebbles of chia, and I even found it in her ears. She has been learning to feed herself the last few weeks (and doing quite well at it!), but if she’s done and not hungry anymore, she’ll get bored and start to play with what’s leftover.
I had to laugh at the situation (which of course was my own fault that she had so much fun with her breakfast while I was distracted!) and I honestly had to pause a moment because I didn’t know how to clean her up. There was just SO. MUCH. YOGURT…
But the poor girl was getting whiny and frustrated at her mum and big sister for just laughing at her and not doing anything, so I groaned and ran to get a cloth. I had to start somewhere. And so after taking a picture of the delicious mess to remember, I realized that I had a pure, gooey, funny moment to share for my first post…and I simply had to make a start.
