Pinterest

I just joined pinterest today. Not sure what I'm doing yet but it looks fun. I can see why so many get hooked and can spend hours on this thing. If you want to follow me go to pinterest.com/mycutecowboys
I always told myself I wasn't going to join. It sounded like another thing I'd waste my time on. But I've seen so many cute things on there that is was tempting me more and more. And I want to try and sell my book using pinterest.

 Oh ya, I wrote a book. It's about scrapbooking and personal history. Two of my favorite things. When it's up and going, I'll let you know.  :)

Thought I'd better join this pinterest first and learn this thing.


Wish me luck.

Wow, where to begin....

I guess I should introduce myself.


Hi, I'm Jenn

I'm a country girl, a self taught cook, a mother of 3 very active boys, a wife of 11 and a half years to my best friend Jared, a scrapbooker, a blogger, a new to sewing and loving it person, a thinker, boot...hat...and anything cowboy lover, a writer, a photographer, a daughter, sister, an aunt, a Mary Kay Consultant, a weight lifter, member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a natural curly highlighted haired blonde, a crafter, and the owner of this newly created blog.

Nice to meet you.

Here's my goal with this thing. It's my blog. MY blog. Yes, I already have another blog. It's our family blog. And yes sometimes I use it as my personal blog as well, but it's titled after my boys, so technically it can't just be my own. And I don't want it to be. I love having a family blog where I can document our life. I love having a place where I can write the fun moments with my kids, or things we've done, and so on. But I want my own as well. I want a place where I can jot down feelings, thoughts, whatever, and be completely honest about it. It might ramble sometimes. And it might be a few sentences the next. But it's mine, and mine alone to do whatever I please with. I'm a thinker. Seriously, I have the weirdest places where I think. Sometimes it's during my workouts lifting weights, and sometimes it's on a walk, or when I'm cooking, or watching t.v. (Yes, I may be "watching t.v." but might be a whole other world away.), and I need a place to write down my thoughts. Writing is one of my therapies in life. It relaxes me. I need it... I love it... and that's why I started this thing.

I hope to find this a fun new adventure in my life. Somewhere to write about my life as I experience it. Somewhere to share my highlights and my lows, my accomplishments in life and my struggles. I want to be able to be completely honest in this. Because let's face it, sometimes it's hard to be honest in all things. But not here. This is mine. And I should be able to be honest with myself, right?!

So here we go.

Welcome to... Writings of a Country Girl.
