Keep calm and blog on

Thanks to Pinterest, I’ve enjoyed blog hopping for the last couple of years. {Anybody with me?}  Basically, I enjoy stalking the lives of those I’ve never met. I’ve always thought that I would begin blogging at some point… never really knowing what that point was. This summer, the idea has been rolling around in my head. Why not now? What better time to start a blog?  Before that, I was {very passively} toying with the idea and praying about it but I hadn’t made any real moves towards blogging.

And then a couple of weeks ago, I was reading a blog post where blogger Shay Shull was raving about a book called Let’s All Be Brave by Annie F. Downs. Shay was even doing a giveaway {which I had missed because I was reading the post the following day}.  I was on vacation and happened to have a lot of down time {ok, I always have down time in the summer} so I downloaded the book on my iPad and immediately began reading. And I fell in love. Annie’s writing style makes you feel like you’re hanging out with her at a local coffee shop. She shares her own life experiences while challenging you to push forward and do that one thing you know you’re called to do but haven’t. Basically, be brave.

So, this blog is that step for me. It’s documenting the way I style my life.

My vision is that this blog will be full of the pieces of my life {because we all know that high school English teachers live incredibly exciting lives}.  I can see fashion posts, DIY projects, recipes…

Read it if you want.  Share it if you want.  Let’s see where this goes!

    Claire,
    Love this first post. It all looks good and just right for any occasion. If I were young I would love the idea of wearing that tee with all of the ways shown. Heck it is so cute, it might jazz up an older person’s style too. Keep up the good work and I will be watching.

    • You should try it!! I think it would look great.
