Why Blog?

Heyyyyyy! So it seems like everyone is blogging these days right? I mean that is seriously how I get most of my information for moving, having a baby, quotes... you name it. But have you every thought about blogging yourself? 

I wanted to blog about mostly fashion. I love clothes and love dressing up! Well, it gets costly to keep up and through taking pictures of my closet I was discovering my city! I wanted to find cool photo spots and ended up locating the neatest venues! Now I am addicted to showing you places you might not have found or simply showing you areas to make you come visit!!

I talked to a lot of bloggers and asked them their why. My favorite answer was  - do you remember MySpace? Exactly... it's gone! What if all the pictures you post on Facebook and Instagram disappear when those companies fall short. I about lost it! Makes sense! I don't have a lot of pictures of my childhood or my parents life before me and have always wanted to provide that to my kids just in case they were interested. 

Now that I have 2 baby boys, I want them to have the itch to discover the world like their dad and I have. I want them to see how much they did so it makes them want to explore everything and rediscover these places themselves. I hope they know we wanted them to have fun, be kids, and get as much cultural experiences as possible growing up. 

So my mission is to explore my surroundings and capture as much as I can while still living in the present with my family! I hope that inspires you to blog as well! Wish us luck and enjoy the ride!!
