TXWB Getting to Know You 1

Today's post is part of the Texas Women Bloggers Getting to Know You Link Up. Enjoy!

This month’s questions:

1. What part of Texas do you call home?

I live in East Texas where the beautiful Piney Woods begin.

2. How long have you been blogging?

Only a couple of months!

Call me a newbie. A greenhorn. A baby blogger. Because that’s where I am. But you know, even though I am only just getting my feet wet, I love learning and cannot wait to wade deeper and deeper into those waters.

3. Why did you start blogging?

I have been living in an unusual way (in a shipping container home) for awhile now and have always meant to share our story! I contemplated an ebook or something, but realized I didn’t want to just write a how-to on shipping container living and stop there, because my talents and passions go so much deeper than just the house we live in!

Also, I am a stay at home mother with an unending interest in learning and sharing with others. Unfortunately, I also just moved to an area where I know very few people, so the internet/ blogging has helped me reach out to people in a way that allows me to also be there for my children.

4. When we visit your blog, what can we expect to discover?

A little bit of EVERYTHING. J

I DO try to focus on the home/ life hacks we’ve come up with through our lifestyle. Also I think I couldn’t go very long without mentioning children, homeschooling, and FOOD!

5. How did you come up with your Blog Title and what is its meaning?

I think I just wanted to point out how we stand out from the crowd with our title (Shipping Container…), but also to speak volumes about what I consider most important on this earth (…Family)!

6. What do you love about being part of Texas Women Bloggers?

I am very new to Texas Women Bloggers, but already I have seen a sense of community that is both supportive and encouraging. They are lifting each other up instead of being in competition.

7. Who inspires you to blog?

God and my family. I feel like I wouldn’t be at a keyboard if He hadn’t put me here, and my family is so supportive of my new creative outlet!

8. If you could pick a favorite blog post from this past year, what would it be?

You mean the past couple of months, lol? J Surely it was my pegboard idea that started it all. It may not be the most well-written post, or have the best photography, but years from now I hope to look back at THAT post and remember thinking, “I can’t believe I’ve never seen this idea on Pinterest before! And it’s been hiding in MY home the whole time… I HAVE TO share this idea with people!”
