Why Blob? Why a blog?

Well, I shall start with the second one first; Why a blog? well, mostly because my husband keeps pestering me to do one. He says I have good ideas...Well honestly most of my ideas come from other moms or other blogs. So what do i have to offer? My experiences with those ideas, my quirks and tips to make their uses better.
Secondly: I would love to be all organic, all natural, all local, all holistic, etc....but I like my sanity. I have an extremely tight budget, one 14 month old daughter, three step kids (whom I love!) on weekends (ages 9-13) and one more on the way. I have a tiny kitchen with approximately 4 feet of counter space...maybe. That's if there are NO dishes, or miscellaneous items milling about. So productive work space is at a minimum, and making kefir, or home-made broth, or medicinal teas, TAKES SPACE. Specifically, more space than i have available most days. So when I do those things, it is a big deal. So i intend to write about what i CAN do with my limited time, patience, space and finances.
Third: It's cathartic and makes me feel productive. Writing down what i have accomplished makes ME feel better at least.

So why Blob? Well, my first intention was just Bethany's Blog, simple. But also taken. Next, i was going to do Bethany's big blog, also taken. So, sticking with the alliteration theme, i thought of Blob and the more i thought about it, the more I liked it.
Also, anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a bit...eclectic. I have a veritable cornucopia of interests. So essentially, you will probably end up with a mish-mash of all of them. maybe one day I'll focus, but I doubt it. Basically, it fits.

So this is it: Bethany's Blob Blog. A journey in holistic living on a tight budget in tight spaces with 4, soon to be 5, kids while attempting to still retain SOME sanity.
