Ch-ch-ch-changes! Adjusting my focus.

Sorry for the switch-up, ladies and gents. Figured it was better to tweak early on as opposed to later.

I've pretty quickly come to realize what my central focus with this blog is going to be. As I have organized photos, future blog posts and ideas, it has become apparent that the central theme always returns to our home. And yes, I am still, obviously, mismanaged, but instead of focusing on the flaws of everything I do (which is quite a bit), I want to take this time early in my blogging life to simplify and adjust my brand. I have many passions, and this doesn't mean I won't represent them all here, it simply removes the pressure of having to do EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. And I need a little less pressure.

It also lets me focus on the one recurring theme and the overall most important thing to our family: our home. And while I absolutely love decorating and all things beautiful, I would like to point out that I am not talking solely in a material sense, here.

This whole switch finally clicked with me when I was leaving with the two kiddos to run errands yesterday. My 3 year old shouted, "Bye house!" as we pulled out of the driveway. He blew it a big kiss and said, "Mom, I love our house." When I asked him what he loved about it so much he told mr it was because that is where we all play together. Tugged on my little heartstrings, he did. Isn't it funny how we as adults can glean something so profound from what is really a simple matter to a child?

So there you have it. Decision was made. Re-focus, re-brand. Home. In all of it's forms.

Welcome to Miss-Managed!

Welcome!

This little blog has been nagging me for quite some time now. And let me start by saying that while it currently does not appear to be so, I used to be quite the little html wiz. That's used to be. But it was time to quit waiting for my glory days of graphic design and website building to come back to me, and to just get started. Here's to hoping I become less mismanaged (get it? haha) and soon enough have this blog looking all prim and proper!

Until then.... a minor intro?

Feel free to skip reading this post. I only feel that it is a necessary thing to write... or how else do I begin this blog? My style is to just jump in, but just in case some of you were wondering what I was jumping in TO....

This blog will serve as my outlet, my notebook, my journal, my portal..? for sharing with you my current journey: raising two toddlers, renovating my 1937 home and figuring out where I want to go from here and how to live intentionally. I feel that so many of us are on this same journey, and for my part I was eating up blogs that touched on all things kids, budget, diy, home and family. It's time for me to add my voice.. (and my chaos) to this plethora of Mommy-blogs.

A word of caution to all my future readers... I am a hot mess. I have no formal education in writing, design or decor. I am your ultimate DIY-er. I am a jack of all trades and a master of not a one. But I am having fun!

Here's to the future!
