So I've been thinking...

Over the past few months, I've had some friends ask if I was going to blog while I was pregnant or even after the baby was born and I realized that I had missed it but I just didn't have time or really didn't make time to do it while I was pregnant for a lot of reasons. The biggest one was that I work for an online company, so I'm basically on the computer for 8 hours everyday and who wants to see another screen and keyboard once you're home? Not me.

 

Anyways, it's been a while since I blogged, literally since our wedding almost three years ago next month. I kept a blog about our wedding and all the planning and money saving we were able to do for 7 months. People start blogs for all kinds of reason now: to post their opinions, to write about their weddings (I've been there, done that), etc. I'm sure you're thinking, here we go again and I don't blame you for thinking that... because if I were you I'd probably be thinking the same thing.

 

Alas, writing has always been an outlet for me since I was probably in the fourth grade and it continued through Junior High, High School and even College as I was a writer for the newspaper and eventually became the Editor in Chief my senior year of college. I even worked as an Account Executive in the advertising department for my hometown newspaper immediately after college for two years.

 

So, as you can see the written word is in my blood and I'm excited to start blogging again, especially after such a huge change just happened to my husband and myself: we had our first baby girl ten days ago and maternity leave seems to be the best time to get into a routine of blogging again.

 

Why Thrifty Ramblings as a title? Well, I don't want to just write about being a new mom- this blog will be about a variety of things such as being a wife to my smoking hot husband, J, all the ways we have been 'thrifty' and saved money since we've been married, learning my new role as a mom to C, adjusting to a 'new normal' in our house, heading back to work when the time comes, etc. Join me, won't you?

 

Thanks for stopping by!
