Meet Me & 31 Days {!!}

So now I've been blogging for a little while, and I've realized that because my family is such a huuge part of my life I need to mention them, but it's also kind of hard to mention them sometimes because of the vague anonymous way that I've set myself up here. It's also hard being real and honest at the same time as being vague. When I first started, I hid behind the idea of the scary internet and I didn't want to give anything personal away here.

But now I'm going to take just a wee step forward, and introduce myself a little more. Not completely {this is a wee step, after all}, but more than I have in the past.

So you probably knew, my name is Emma. yep. I've got 5 younger siblings, 1 brother and 4 sisters, and I loove it! :) I'm 17, and working my way through my last year of high school, at home {I've been homeschooled all my life :)}.

At this point in my journey I absolutely love being homeschooled, although for a while I would've given anything to go to school. I love to read, and bake {maybe a few recipes coming up here sometime in the future? :)}, and I love love love kids!

My family is totally awesome, and I really like hanging out with them. Here we all are, this picture is from last year. 

Dad, Livvy (9), AK(11), Yah-yah(15), Moocho(15), Mum, Bella-Boo(5), and myself :)*

I guess that's really what I can think of to share for the moment.

And now for my exciting announcement!! :D

I am doing 31 Days this year!!

I think I first heard of 31 Days two years ago, and I followed Ann Voskamp's blog, and the Nester's, and Emily Freeman's. Last year a found a whole bunch of new ones that I have mostly followed since. I am so excited for this year, and I decided that this year, I would join in and try and write something.... so please join me as I write for 31 days {I hope lol} on Celebrating Life. 

This series is largely inspired by Shauna Niequist's book Cold Tangerines, and I caaaaan't wait to share what I've been learning about celebrating all of the beautiful things in life!

Anyone else doing 31 days? let me know so I can follow! :)

blessings,
love emma
