When I started this blog, the idea was to post patterns that I wrote, recipes from my ancestors which I still cook from and my tips for living simply. In other words, I wanted others to join me in going back to basics.
I soon realized that blogging was time-intensive with very little reward (and I'm not even talking the monetary kind). The only people looking at my little blog were my husband and any friends and family I guilted into checking it out. So my back to basics blog, needs to go back to basics itself. I need to ignore how many people aren't looking at it and write posts that I'm interested in sharing.
There won't be any "You're not going to believe ..." posts that have a million things you've heard before on other media or linking to Pinterest-worthy pictures on other sites. The goal is to share patterns, recipes, ideas that I have personally tried and tested. That also means if I endorse a business, I have personally shopped at the business and if I recommend a pattern designer, I have tried out the person's designs. If the only person reading the blog is my husband, so be it. Worst case scenario, I will have a place to keep track of some of my favourite recipes, websites, shops and tips.
Being true to myself feels pretty darn good but I'm not going to lie - I will be pretty excited if anybody other than my loving husband start to follow me.
From my loving home,
Monika
