While I was typing my blog title I also thought it could say, What I want my Blog to be when she throws up. I really don’t want my blog to throw up but sometimes I feel like I do just that, throw stuff up on here.
What are my blog goals?
1. The biggest goal of my blog is for this to be a place of inspiration for your home and for your heart. I love to share my thrifty finds, how spray paint can magically transform just about anything and that having a home you love doesn’t have to cost tons of money. Sharing a few recipes, money saving tips and household organization are also things I enjoy blogging about.
I know that I have blogged about my home more often than not lately but I have a desire to inspire people in their hearts as wives and mothers. Sharing how our family has struggles with anxiety, my pregnancy loss through miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy, how marriages can be saved from the brink of divorce and how to decorate your master bedroom and help your marriage at the same time are just a few posts you can find on here. The goal of these posts is to inspire our hearts which will reflect in our home.
2. This ties in with #1 but I want to be real on here. I am energetic, fun and creative person and hope that you can see this when you visit my blog. At the same time my life, my marriage, my home, my children are not perfect and I most certainly am not perfect. My hope is that no one would walk away from this blog feeling less than when they came but instead you would feel encouraged, inspired and empowered in your home and in your heart.
3. My favorite thing about blogging is all the great people you meet. I love people, love meeting new people, talking with people, connecting people and sharing people. That sharing part sounds weird I know but through my the goal was to introduce you to blogs that I enjoy reading because I like the people behind the blog and I want to share them with you. Forming connections is one of my strengths so introducing bloggers to each other and sharing them with you is my way of using that strength. I would like to continue on doing this either through the Blooming Blogger series or maybe a different venue this year.
4. Lastly, working on my photography and yes, even posting skills. I am not the best at having creative and catchy blog post titles, or relaying in the title what I want. Also with a new DSLR camera, I am hoping to learn some mad skillz on the camera to wow you all with my photographic awesomeness. Ok, well probably not but I do want to take better pictures so that it doesn’t look like the sun is glaring off a balding men convention in my pictures.
I don’t need to be some big name blogger, I just want the people who come here to leave inspired that you can make a difference in your home and in your heart. That’s all peeps!

What do you think and please be honest, am I on the way to achieving my goals? I’d love your feedback on this post, what do I need to do to improve? Why do you come to my blog?
i definitely think you are n your way! i come to your blog for inspiration in life, home, and design of course, but i stay for the person you are… real, true, funny, witty…. all those things keep me reading and i definitely leave here feeling encouraged and happy!
Hi Ange…thanks for the inspiring and honest post! As a newer blogger I too am working hard and having fun! One of my favorite aspects of blogging is the community…always so supportive! After reading several of the posts from the link party I am inspired to write and share my own…better get busy!
Have a great day ~ Laura
HI Ange, I am brand new to your blog after finding you at Cassie's. I had a look through your wonderful blog and I would have to say that you are well on your way to achieving your goals. You have lots of great posts to help, inspire and amuse. I"m looking forward to following along with you!!
I love your goals #2 and #3. I'm always raving about the community I've discovered since becoming a blogger. I'm also trying to take more pictures for my blog (which sometimes requires a lot of creativity!). I love your blog header, btw.
You give me inspiration for blogging. I think blogging will be a little easier for me now that I know just to start small and tend to it everyday. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by all this technology.
Thank you so much for joining the party and for sharing your heart! I love your authenticity and your writing has such a "voice." Add your sense of humor to that and you create a blog I truly want to read!
Have a blessed and wonderful day.
blessings,
karianne
I've always loved the idea behind the Blooming Blogger series. It can be tough to get started and build a reader base, so it's really refreshing to see other new bloggers being recognized for their awesomeness. Even if you switch to another series along this line, I hope you keep doing it!
I love this. You are one of my favorites because not only you have amazing style but you are real. I value that in the blogs I read and the friends I make
I'm posting my goals on Monday.
I love your sense of humor and think your goals are spot on!
Love your #3 – it's all about meeting new people and forming great relationships – amazing what a blog friendship can do!
And of course – my pics often look like they are bouncing light off a convention of toupees anonymous so I need some help in that area as well!
So glad you joined our party!

Such a great post Ange, and so many things I can relate to as well. I appreciate your authenticity and am looking forward to getting to know you better. Connections are definitely the best part about blogging and you are definitely an inspiration! I need to read deeper into your blog. We have some anxiety issues in our family as well. I'm going to check out that post right now!
Ange, I visit your blog because you are creative, share great home projects, write fun posts, share personal struggles and real life, and inspire and motivate me. I say just keeping doing what you're doing because I love The Blooming Hydrangea!
Ange,
I love your emphasis on "inspiring our hearts which will reflect in our home" … I've stumbled for words to express the same thing but you've done it so eloquently. I'm a new Follower and will be happy to give feedback in the future for how well you're achieving your goals, but I anticipate it will be splendid feedback. Took a little self-tour and think you're doing great stuff. Found you through the blog hop that I'm also participating in.
