Carroll Family Life

So, I’ve been tossing around this idea in my head for a couple of weeks, and I need some honest opinions on the matter…

It all started when some friends of mine decided to pursue a business selling jewelry through Facebook. You can check them out at A Tad Monroe. If you follow me on Facebook I’m sure you’re aware of them by now. They are two of my dearest friends and they are doing a fabulous job finding some amazing jewelry!

Anyway – I guess I’ll just spit it out – I want to start a blog. Yes, this is a blog… bare with me. I want one that is all about the things I absolutely love to do. Don’t get me wrong, love my kiddos – but I want something more focused on the hobbies I’ve fallen in love with. 

·         I absolutely love to cook – very much inspired by Pioneer Woman.

·         I will use any excuse to craft – thank you Pinterest for making me feel guilty for not doing even a fraction of what I pin.

 

·         I absolutely love to plan a party. My sister is the real genius on this subject, but I’ve learned a thing or two over the years. And let me tell you – we can stretch a budget with the best of them and still make it blogworthy.

                                    
                                    I’m loving this idea for a backdrop at Jax’s birthday party

·         I’m a couponer. Microsoft Word doesn’t think that’s a word, but whatever. I love to share the really great deals I find. Who couldn’t use a little help in the savings department?

 

·         I’m also developing an eye for fashion. A little late – I confess. I really didn’t start caring about clothes, make-up and accessories until after Jax was born. After I got those killer breastfeeding boobs and saw what they did to a v-neck t-shirt, all of the sudden clothes were a lot more fun.

                                      
                                  Yes, its your basic black-khaki-blue jean… I’ll try to step it up a little.

·         And yes, of course – there will be chronicles of motherhood – because, let’s be honest, it kinda consumes my life these days.

So, it doesn’t take a two second Google search to know there are a million blogs already out there with this same premise.

And obviously – a blog is no fun if nobody reads it and you don’t get to comment back and forth.

So, what’s my niche, what’s my hook?? That’s where I need some help. What would make you read one blog rather than another?
