Why am I writing a blog in 2013? Clearly, I am not on the vanguard of a trend as blogs have been around since the 1990s. I have always enjoyed writing and entertaining people and this is an easy way to do that without bombarding my friends with emails. I have also gotten really into reading blogs on a variety of random topics, particularly cooking and sewing, fashion and foster parenting. I enjoy the snapshot you get into the life of someone you may not even know. I just find it fascinating. I guess I would like to see what it's like to be on the other side of that.
