So, I’ve started a blog.

I’ve actually been thinking about starting one for a while but was hesitant because A – I didn’t know if I would be able to follow through with it. Most of my days are spent staring at a computer, so it’s the last thing I feel like doing when I’m at home. And B – I’m kind of a private person and wasn’t sure how I felt about putting our life out here on the blogosphere.

But the small seed was planted (inception?) and the desire to start a blog grew. In part because many of our friends and family do not live near by and since we’ve embarked on this new adventure in parenthood, I wanted to have an outlet to share our wonderful and sometimes, not-so-wonderful life with our loved ones. The other part of it is due to the inspiration I have felt from some truly interesting, insightful, laugh-out-loud-funny blogs that have made me think, well, maybe this could actually be kinda fun…

So, the hesitation was pushed to the side and a blog was born – Sweet Orange Smiles!  (the husband came up with the name, which he is very proud of, and it makes me happy every time I think about it.)

And now, dear friends and family and randoms that somehow come across this page, stay tuned! I promise there will be more.
