This is the first post to my blog, so I think I should introduce myself and my purpose. I'm Karen, and as I stated above, I have two children and my husband, who is also their father. I know that's not always the case these days, so I wanted to be clear.
I work at a local elementary school, in the office. I like my job - I love the little kids, my co-workers are great, and who doesn't like being off work most of the summer, two weeks at Christmas and a week for Spring Break?!
My husband works for a large bank in the technology department. He tends to work long hours programming mainframe computers. Yes, they still exist, though I know it's hard to believe.
The kids are both in middle school, which for them is conveniently located directly behind the school where I work. I get about one phone call a week from one of them needing something - lunch money, forgotten homework, their band instrument or whatever.
A couple of my friends told me I should start a blog because I have some good ideas about meal plans and recipes and gift ideas. I've been thinking about it, and decided I would give it a go. I learn by doing, so you should notice improvements as time goes on. I love Pinterest and have pinned many sites about improving your blog, but without a starting point, the lessons were sort of lost on me. So I hope you'll bear with me and focus more on what I'm trying to share and less on how I'm sharing it, until I figure this all out.
Please feel free to share your ideas with me as well! I love to learn and do hope this will be interactive, as I see other blogs end up being. I will make updates and corrections to my posts as needed based on comments I read, and I will respond to as many comments as I possibly can.
So thanks for checking me out, and I hope you decide to hang out with me and invite your friends as well. You can also follow me on Pinterest!
Can't wait to hear what you have to say.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth!
