ordinary: |ˈôrdnˌerē| adjective1 with no special or distinctive features; normal: he sets out to depict ordinary people | it was just an ordinary evening. • uninteresting; commonplace: ordinary items of everyday wear.
sometimes, i get tired of the fact that blogging is made up to be a veil of true, real life. some people make up their blogs to make it seem like their life is extra special, when in reality, they are just as normal as the rest of us. i want the veil to be removed. i want to show you what you're missing. and, we did. that project that we've been hinting about for a month? here it is.
presenting to you: an ordinary utopia.
this is our life. our ordinary life that is made beautiful by the little things we do. i don't craft much. i don't cook exotic foods every night for my family. i don't live in a vintage house with creaking floorboards and secret passages. it's just me. jocee. my life doesn't measure up to those of the really big bloggers out there. i know that yours may not either. but that's okay, because i have my own utopia. jocee-topia, if you will.
megan, abby, lindsey, gracie, hayley and i are pleased to show you what it's like from our corners of the world. come on over and curl up on the couch with your favorite pillowpet. be yourself. because that's what you're best at.
-kiss kiss kiss, just dance-

ah. I absolutely love your description. It's the same thing that has been on my mind the past few days! especially this part: "i don't craft much. i don't cook exotic foods every night for my family. i don't live in a vintage house with creaking floorboards and secret passages. it's just me. jocee. my life doesn't measure up to those of the really big bloggers out there."
ReplyDeleteexcited about your project!
how thrilling!! can't wait. life isn't all puppies and daffodils, it's broken china and rose thorns too. woah, that was random. lol
ReplyDeletei saw it this morning! so exciting. seriously, my favorite bloggers all just teamed up. dancing♪
ReplyDeleteYes. So incredibly excited.
ReplyDeletexo.
This post is so lovely! I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI was reading through, and it looks great! And a secret -- I just moved into a house almost 200 years old -- creaky floorboards are NOT anything great at all. And we have two staircases almost like secret passages -- yeah, they're not all that either. Just so ya know, those people are making it up ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with this! I followed the blog, and I am excited about this. :)
ReplyDeleteYAYZ.

ReplyDeleteYay! I lurvvv it, dearest!<3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in love with everything you girls have done with AOU. I loved that line "my life doesn't measure up to those of the really big bloggers out there." this is so true! So many bloggers think that they have to be like those people, but in reality, those big bloggers are humans to, with imperfect lives. What makes your blog, your blog is YOU. Your life. Your stories. And I'm all for people who promote that. Can't wait to see all the loveliness that is to come! :)
ReplyDeletewow. thank you :) already, even as a practically brand-new blogger, i've already tried way too hard to be that interesting writer that everyone loves to read posts from. thanks for the encouragement to just be me. i really did need it :)
