Resolutions: A Look Back and Forward

Hello lovelies!

I hope that you are having a wonderful day!
I cannot believe that Christmas is in just 5 days!
Otto and Ava are beyond geeked for all of the festive fun.

(Coca Cola Santa always makes me think of being a little girl
at my Grandparent's house for the holiday.)
So with the holidays approaching it is of course my annual
tradition to begin to think of a New Year's resolution.

2011's resolution was to start a fashion and style blog
and from the looks of things over here at OAGJ
I can check that off my list as a success.
A HUGE thank you to all of you for your support!
I couldn't have done it without you.

OAGJ has done everything I set out for it to do and more...


- help me to be more creative
- give me a creative outlet
- help me to style myself with, well, more style
- connect with other amazing people with
similar interests
- share my love of all things stylish, beautiful, and pretty
- show that you can live on a budget and still
have a kick butt wardrobe
- to help build up my confidence 
- to be inspired and inspire
__________________________________________________

What OAGJ hasn't been able to deliver is the ability for me to 
be completely comfortable being my real self while blogging about fashion.


I don't think talking about the raw and real parts of me 
connects well with pretty pictures and pretty outfits.

Oh, don't worry!
OAGJ isn't going anywhere.
I will still be here doing my thang.
Don't think for a second that you could get rid of me:)

2012's resolution 


isn't going to be that different
accept for the content focus.

I need to take my journey in 
self discovery to a deeper level 
than OAGJ's platform allows.

So, I have created a new outlet for myself..
Yep, another blog.
This time though you will be hearing my real voice.
The one that might be a little gritty,
The one that might be a little raw,
The one that tells it like it is,
The one that doesn't BS.

The one that is simply....

Me

Welcome to 
Searching For My Life

I would love for you to take the journey with me!

Maybe, it can be a safe haven for you to, if you are looking 
to be your authentic self.

  1. Wishing you all the best on your new blog adventure and journey. It's nice to see people be real and not "B.S." Merry Christmas to you and your family! The girls are bouncing off the walls too :) Heather

  2. Interesting. I've kind of had the same issues with my blog. I have a family blog (mostly pictures of the girls and cute kids stories for faraway relatives) and The Suburb Experiment. It can seem a little out of place to delve into deeper topics on either of them. Good luck to you on this new venture!

  4. That's awesome you're starting another blog! I've been thinking about the same thing lately because God has really been working in my life and I wanted another place to delve deeper and talk about it. I'll be stopping by. =)
