There is no simple answer to the question “Why Blog?”. The better questions is, “Why not Blog?”
Kendall and I have tossed around the idea of individually blogging for years and recently we discussed the power of collaboration and what taking this adventure together could look like. Everything seems a little easier with a friend by your side. We have a genuine desire to write and discuss a range of topics from everyday life, to mommy guilt, to celebrations, and love. We do not consider ourselves fountains of knowledge, but we do have something special to share.
A little back story… Kendall and I met in college, two Communication majors who ended up in the same classes and social circle. I vaguely remember the first time I met Kendall; she was spunky and shy, smart, and eloquent, and when she spoke, I listened. Some of my favorite college memories include Kendall. I am forever grateful our paths crossed and that I still have the privilege of calling her my friend. Stay tuned for embarrassing throwback photos, I am sure they will surface.
Our goal with this blog is not to win any awards (but if you want to give us one, we accept)! Our goal is to be relatable, helpful, and occasionally funny. We plan on being an inclusive space for collective voices and will call on some of our new and old friends to come collaborate with us. Our weekly (for now) posts will vary from serious topics on guilt and shame to lighthearted topics of gratitude and recipes. We hope on some level our words, thoughts, and posts speak to you, encourage you, and make you realize that you are not alone. We are right here with you, a friend by your side.
