Day 1

Whoa...can't believe I am finally here and ready to roll. After months of making excuses on why my blog wasn't finished I finally dropped everything and made it happen. To be honest, I was actually pretty intimidated with the idea of people reading what I wrote and thought...but in reality my end goal was to get better at writing/photography and a blog was perfect for me to achieve those goals.

So over the past year, I've been hearing a ton about blogging and how satisfying it has been for the creator behind them - I started thinking...I must be crazy not to create one of my own!?

Again, so why blog?

1. I want to become a stronger writer. In general, writing to me is about thoughts on paper and captivating others to agree with them. Obviously, writing improves with practice. I know by starting a blog it will not force me to become a better writer...it will naturally happen as I write more and more. Practice, Practice, Practice!

2. Better photographer. A blog isn't the same without the right photography, am I right?! Half the time I visit my favorite blogs because of the amazing photos they post. Check out a few of my favorite blogs with awesome photography...Davy, cupcakes and cashmere, Love Taza, Pinch of Yum.

3. Encourage myself to try new things in a new city. I just moved to Minneapolis in November 2014 (sniff*sniff* goodbye Chicago) and not going to lie... its tough getting yourself to do things in a city you barely know anyone. Essentially, I will be more motivated to do different things and meet more people if I have a place to document them.
