First post! New blog!

I am hoping to use this blog to build up some creative writing samples, so I guess I should start at the beginning.
I am a 30 year old married mother of 1; I just completed my degree in English, and I'm looking to move back to my hometown of Philadelphia, PA.
Every day with my daughter is something different, and something delightful; I never know what to expect with her! I hope to get it together enough to blog consecutively and cohesively for awhile and then begin to send out said creative writing samples to local freelance blogs and magazines in Philadelphia to get some extra money on the side. In addition to that, I'm hoping to get into graduate school for either social work or public health, although getting a teaching certificate is an option, too.
I hope that I can set a good example for my baby as far as education goes. Getting my degree has been quite a struggle between one thing and another, and I'm glad it's finally done. I only wish I had done it earlier instead of wasting time for all those years! I feel like every other 30 year old is settled into their career, has further degrees than I do, and isn't trying to relocate and start all over again. I guess that's a little bit of a pity party, but I never expected to be 30 and living in my husband's parents house while trying to get back on our feet; I wish we had STAYED on our feet in the first place.
