Blogging 101: Why I Named My Blog After My Name

This story I'd like to share today is a bit of history. Don't worry, this is not about me. It's all about my blog. To start with, let me inform you that the original name of this blog was Sugar Plums and Lemon Drops. It was pretty, girly-like, and sounds really glam as if I'm hosting a fashion blog. But my blog will never be a place for fashion or beauty. Yes, I do review beauty products but I can't be a true-blooded beauty or fashion blogger. I'd rather be a mom blogger. That's something I'd fondly call my self. So I changed it to Super Mom when I become a mom. But then again, that name did not really fit me. Now it's just Mommy Nimfa, my name with a fancy "mommy" tag--the simplest I could ever think for a blog name. But I do this on a purpose, and that I'd like to share to you.

First, I wanted to be clear and concise on what my blog is all about. I am a mom and this is a mommy blog. I want my readers to think of me whenever they'd think of a good mom blog. (I know I'm ambitious). With that, I created a list of my projects for this blog, that I'll be posting later on so watch out!

As you see, I stopped believing that I am a "Super Mom". That's something I'd like to achieve but I realized it will take decades before I proved to people or to my self that I am one super mama. So I just gave up that dream, at least for now. All I know is that I am happy and alive even if I'm not a living and breathing Super Mom in real life.
But the most important thing I'd like to work on right now is monetize my blog as a business. This time I want to bring it to a higher level. I got rid of writing for other people. It's not about the cheap budget. It's the credit they get out of my works. So I just realized I will stop from freelance writing for a while. I'll focus on my blog from hereon.
