Ultimate Blog Party 2013

So this weekend I stumbled upon the coolest thing ever: The Ultimate Blog Party 2013 hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. This party includes blogs from every corner of the blogosphere linking up to meet new people and find new blogs. It even involves some really cool prizes! So part of the deal with this Blog Party is to link up a post that describes what your blog is about. So without further ado, here is SIMPLY SELMAN: In a nutshell.

As I sat down to figure out what it is exactly that I am about, 4 things came to me: Faith, Family, Fashion, and Furniture. I cant even do a simple list without coming up with a theme, so here are the 4 "F's" that describe my blog.

FAITH
Part of the reason I started this blog in the first place was to share my point of view. And every point of view I have is shaped by my faith. I am a Christian, so this influences how I look at and treat my family, how I dress, and even how I decorate my home (I know this last one seems like a stretch but I'll explain later). This is the single most important aspect of my blog/life and it comes before anything else!

FAMILY
In case you haven't noticed from past blog posts, I am the wife of the most amazing man in the world, and the mom to the 2 cutest fur babies around. My husband drives me to be the best person that I can be, and supports me in everything I do, including this blog. My dog babies are about as sweet as dog babies can be, and I am so lucky they are mine!

FASHION
I LOVE fashion. Clearly, since most of my posts are fashion related. But I didn't want to limit myself to just fashion, so I do write about other things as well. But like I said before, my faith really dictates this aspect of my blog. I detailed it here, but to sum it up, I want to dress in a way that shows what I am about and glorifies the Lord at all times. I want to show the world that you can be fashion forward and NOT show every piece of skin!

FURNITURE
This one is kind of weird, so bear with me. This last category includes my love for home decor and all of the DIY that comes along with it. (I didn't create a fifth category, so FOOD kind of falls in here as well). I have to tell you, there is nothing that makes my heart flutter faster than my husband with a drill or hammer. There is just something about having a handy man around that makes life more interesting! This is a lesser utilized part of my blog, but I still want to use my blog to reach people for Christ in a way that is fun and uplifting and never negative.


So there you have it: Simply Selman. And it really can be boiled down to one thing: using my blog to reach people in a way that I couldn't otherwise do and have fun doing it!

So Keep It Simple, y'all, and join the blog party. It's fun!
