Success!

Do you know when you find something you love on Pinterest and then you attempt it? And it doesn't turn out remotely quite the same? This is also known as a Pinterest fail. I am not ashamed to admit that I have had more than a few Pinterest fails. I am not really a crafty or patient person, so these fails really were to be expected.


But oh that feeling when you actually have a Pinterest success, that is a glorious feeling. Other moms look at your success with jealousy wondering how you manage everything you do.

This is one of my Pinterest successes below. My daughter's Girl Scout troop was celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday and every year I make different Dr. Seuss themed cupcakes. This year I went with the Lorax and decided to make Truffula Trees cupcakes.


Voila! They were a success. If you want to see if more of the things I pin and will possibly attempt, you can follow me on Pinterest.

Why Isn't This Working?

I have always had a problem with diaries. I would write in it for 2-3 days faithfully and then my next entry may be a month or two later. The next one might be six months later. And then I would start a new one, with rivaled success. But that was when I was a kid, surely I must have grown out of that habit.

Maybe not. Last blog entry February 5th...

So, I want to blog. I love reading blogs, I love writing. It seems like it should be a natural fit for me. I even have an agenda. I want to share my struggles with early Alzheimers, but here is my problem.

I am more than just my mom's caretaker. I am a mom. I am a small business owner. I am a wife. I am a sister. So, I was trying to write a blog that only focused on one element of me and it did not work.

So I am trying again. With a less narrowed focus. It will just be a blog about me, my interests, my family, anything. Maybe I will have more success this way. :) Wish me luck.
