Ode to my first blog...

-

 That sounds like a fantastic idea for a reflective post! You could frame it as a personal growth story that highlights your evolution as a blogger—from the quirky beginnings of Death by Soup to your current focus on faith, family, and design.

Here’s a possible structure for your post:

Title Ideas

  • From Soup to Substance: Lessons from My Blogging Journey
  • What I’ve Learned Since “Death by Soup”
  • My Blogging Evolution: Creativity, Faith, and Finding My Voice

Outline

  1. Introduction

    • Share the origin story of Death by Soup—why you started it, what it represented.
    • Add a lighthearted tone since you said “lol”—maybe a funny anecdote about the name.

  2. The Early Days

    • What you loved about blogging back then.
    • Challenges you faced (consistency, finding your niche, etc.).

  3. The Transition

    • Why you shifted away from Death by Soup.
    • How life changes (college, kids, faith) influenced your content.

  4. What I’ve Learned

    • Authenticity matters more than perfection.
    • Blogging is about connection, not just content.
    • Design and storytelling go hand in hand.

  5. Where I Am Now

    • Your current blog focus (Mom Life, Faith & Design).
    • How your voice and purpose have matured.

  6. Encouragement for Others

    • Tips for new bloggers based on your experience.

Would you like me to draft a full blog post in your voice using this outline, or create a short social media teaser that sums up your journey? Or both?
