Lately, I have been feeling a need for a change. With a baby on the way and the desire to tell my story, I think it is time to turn this blog into something more than what I have been doing!
Why I am Rebranding
Originally, I started this blog to help promote my children’s party planning business and toy store. As I got going, I shared party tips, ideas, new products, and a bit about my life. The more I got involved, the more this blog evolved…until I got sick that is.
I took a step back from everything as I dealt with my health issues. When I finally started getting better, I wanted to come back to this. I had given up my business, but I still had a story to tell.
However, in those few short years, things changed with blogging and social media. I wanted to jump right on in, but I had to figure things out all over again. Then there was the issue that I now had two blogs, which were two parts of the story I wanted to tell.
As I got going again, I started feeling like my social media and blogs represented two different people, instead of two halves of a whole. My quest for being authentic led me to making a decision to rebrand and combine my two parts of a story into one.
So Here We Are…
Originally, I thought to keep the blogs still separate but have a link between them. However, after my original publish of this post, I ended up going through an experience where I almost lost this blog completely. While going through that stress, I decided to sit down and have a real heart to heart with myself.
Some of the things that I have written on Prissy Missy over the last 5 years have been important but scary stories for me to tell. I shared a little more about my health issues and the mental health issues that came with going through a long battle trying to get diagnosed and get proper treatment for what all was going on with me.
The story I wish to tell is one that I think can relate to many people. It is the story of a misfit parent, a person who doesn’t fit in, and someone who has taken those experiences of sticking out like a sore thumb and being unapologetic about it.
This is a scary but necessary move for me. I really hope that you all will stick around and that some of what I will be sharing will resonate with you. I look forward to being fully authentic here and sharing this misfit’s view of parenting, homeschool, and plus size lifestyle as someone who sometimes just muddles through life to get through the day.
So here is to 10 years of blogging and moving on to new and scary things! Also, if you have suggestions on things you want me to cover, please let me know in the comments below!
