Greetings! So here’s the deal: I am the absolute worst when it comes to consistent blog posting! It’s not that I don’t want to write; it’s just that sometimes I just get really intense writer’s block and always seem to magically end up on Pinterest. Which is actually how I discovered the brilliant idea of a 30 Day Blogging Challenge! I believe that this will be a great way to jump-start my brain and get all my creative juices flowing again. And because I’m a bit of a perfectionist, I’m combining Days 1 and 2 so that the days of the month match the day that I’m on within the challenge.

Day 1: Your Blog’s Name
My blog (as you know) is called The Northwest Momma. When I was originally starting out, figuring out a name for my blog was one of the most difficult parts of the entire process. I didn’t actually think of it until I was on the hosting site and had it asked me for my URL. As I have lived in Washington State my entire life, it seemed very fitting! No lie, I almost called my blog “Baby Poops N’ Clippin’ Coups.” Can you imagine??
