It was time for a Blogover...

There's nothing I like more than a three-hour hair appointment. Fresh highlights make me happy and transform me into the natural blonde that I will always pretend to be. I like sitting... chatting with Alana... my therapist, I mean hair dresser. It's therapeutic. Right? It's a time to escape from the cheerios; the spit-up; the toys strayed absolutely everywhere; the leaky leak-proof sippy-cup and the "Come wipe me!" moments.

It's refreshing and I return to motherhood with my head held a little higher.

And just as I occasionally need a new-do, so did this blog. It was time. My last post was last September and I held up the white flag for blog-writing. I found myself wondering if anyone was actually reading it. Asking myself was writing worth the use of my precious time? I decided that it wasn't and gave up. Lately, picking it back up has been on my mind. I remembered why I started this blog in the first place. It was supposed to be, like my hair appointments, a time for me. The life I lead doesn't allow for much time- if any, for me to have one clear thought. Blogging was supposed to be a place for me to just be me.

So.... I resurrected the old blog and imported it into my new blog- Stud-Muffins and Cupcakes. I am planning on writing about mothering my four stud-muffins and my newest cupcake- Jolie! After all,  God has used motherhood to teach me so many life lessons. I may throw in some talk about actual cupcakes since I do love a cupcake! Not sure what all will come of this. But, I am promising myself these three things:

1. I won't care what the numbers are doing... too much pressure to know who is and is not reading this.

2. I will write quickly... I'll shoot to avoid errors and review to remove typos but I won't over-analyze things. I tend to do that and dog-gone-it... it just takes all the fun out of it. 

3. I will be honest. I will not present a perfect picture because that would be so FAR from truth. My goal is to inspire, not to discourage anyone.
