This particular 30-day challenge originally appeared on Life as Leels on August 30, 2011 – one month after the blog was started.

Originally, at that time, the blog was titled ‘Leila * Mommy * Business Woman’. {If you know the story, feel free to scroll on.}

At the point in time, I was, of course, me; a mom; and had started the blog as an additional means to promote my direct sales business. It was going to be my first attempt with Thirty-One. {I say the first attempt because I have attempted at least once since.}

I had started out on Blogger and fell into this underworld of blogging. Within a short while, I had decided to set aside this ‘business woman’ side and see what this underworld was about.

I learned many things and one of them was that if I wanted to be serious, long term, and make money; I had to get off Blogger. In November 2011, I did just that. I moved to WordPress and became ‘The Go To Mommy’.

I’m not going to lie – at this point, I still had no idea what I was doing. Shoot, let’s be real. There are days I question if I know what I am doing now!

To make a long story short, there is another individual/website with a

similar name

who asked that I change my blog name. {I say similar in that it was similar, but not nearly enough to confuse the two.} So I did just that in March 2012. The rest is history.

I have been Life as Leels since. I have gone through many changes and am currently in the process of cleaning up years worth of ‘learning’ to start a new year fresh. In cleaning up, I stumbled across this post and thought it would be a great way to kick off some fun ‘getting to know you’ posts. A way for new readers to get to know me and to reconnect with old readers!

Here is what the challenge listed…
