Hello and welcome to our blog!

My name is Taylor. I am 21, a small business owner, an aspiring home “chef”, a mother and a wife. My team is my son, Evander, and husband, Jose. Evander is our pride and joy, the reason why we go after our dreams, and the happiest little one year old you would ever meet. Jose is 22, currently a welder/fabricator, a reservist in the Army, and most of all, an adventurous and very outgoing man. My husband and I are on a mission this year to make the absolute most out of 2020, as we spent the entire year of 2019 welcoming our son into the world, experiencing parenthood as well as being newlyweds, and getting our life back to a steady pace. This year, we have quite a bit of items on our To-Do list, or “bucket list” as one might call it so early in the year.

Last year, we faced so many trials and won them as a team, coming out stronger and happier together. I am so glad that I grew in love with a man that sees life the same way I do, someone who doesn’t enjoy sitting around and being comfortable in a mediocre life without a desire for growth… as our constant reminder is also our son. With that being said, we are in the works of moving our family within the next few months, picking up new hobbies (both individually and mutually), and all around transitioning our lifestyle to benefit our life and our familys growth.

I am in the works of changing our diets to be healthier, adding more hobbies and continuing the journey of having our own business. We hope you can join us on this journey, and pray/have good thoughts for our continued success!

All our love,

The Mendozas.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
