What's In A Name? ... THANKS, HELENE!!

This has been something I've been battling for a little while now, and as luck would have it - believing things happen for a reason -  I came across this post from Helene In Between. She could not have put my stress at ease any better, and give me that boost I needed to get it done! What is it you ask, that has had me so unraveled? The dreaded... SHOULD I CHANGE MY BLOG NAME OR NOT?!! Yes, it may seem miniscule to most, but at the time being it is something that I've been contemplating, and weighing heavily on my mind for some time now.

I agree with Helene that we begin our blogs with an initial purpose, and all seems to flow steadily for awhile. My recent blog name A Little Bit of This and That suited me just fine, because that is exactly what my blog is about - a little bit of everything; this and that. But I wanted something a little more clever, and more importantly, shorter. So I brainstormed here and there for things that fit into something short and sweet that described ME. And as clever as I like to think I am sometimes and what my initial blog name may have consisted of, I wanted to incorporate part of my own name into the title. Thus generating: Merrily Mee.

You know when things just fit? Well, that's how it felt when I put these two words together. As I mentioned before, "Mee" derives from my Korean name and the word "merrily" simply means happy. And that is my life. No it's not perfect, and that's certainly not what I'm trying to imply. But for the most part, I am content and happily enjoy life; with the good and bad that comes along with it! I would still describe my blog as an "assortment of my life's adventures", just sharing it with a new name! ;)

My sweet little blog has not yet ran a year's course, and while I'm just beginning to accumulate followers I thought it would be a good idea to make the change now - rather than later. I'm hoping to keep things flowing as such, and that the name change doesn't make much of a difference. Here's hoping!

A blogging fail...

You know that moment you over prepare and have something ready-to-go, then as soon as it's time, you submit 'said thing' and walk away with that feeling of accomplishment? I almost had that feeling yesterday morning. With my days, you don't really know what to expect, so to have a blog post prepped for the next day is a REAL accomplishment, let me tell you. I have gone a number of weeks days with the same ol post lingering there, because either 1) our internet was down, or 2) my morning started off crazy and by 9pm I was in bed; aka on my daughter's floor after scratching her back, with the hubs having to come in and get me. True story.

Enough rambling. My point is, yesterday I had a set post ready to go and published it long before I even had time for my morning bloggy updates. While catching up on one of my favorite peeps, Helene In Between, and after some serious blog hopping, I find myself scrolling through a new favorite, Glam Hungry Mom. THIS IS WHERE MY BLOGGING FAIL ALMOST BEGAN. In one of her posts, she shared some miraculous YouTube video of the new up and coming artist, Ariana Grande. Oh em geeeeeeeee. As a lover of music and talent, I was beside myself. This girl takes the cake. Along side the title of this post... I was indeed MIND BLOWN. I was so anxious to share, I debated whether or not to post a second time in the day, but wasn't sure if that was totally necessary. Although, it'd been worth it!!!! For reals. Her voice truly rocks my socks.

Have a listen, if you will.

1. I've been a Mariah Carey fan since I was 8 years old.
2. "Emotions" is possibly one of her most difficult tracks to mimic.
3. This girl is only 20 years young.
4. I don't have a 4....

So as an attempt to not pull a complete fail, by publishing two posts in one day, I decided to just postpone my #backthatazzup post with Whitney on Friday, and dedicate this one on Saturday!!!! Ha... oops.

With that said, my #backthatazzup jam would have most definitely been THIS in honor of this mind blown discovery. Listen to the original (below) then make your way back up to compare it to this girl's cover. It's seriously unbelievable. Brav-freakin-o!!
