I started writing down topics. I originally did this with HH2HT, but now that I have almost a year of blogging under my belt I felt more focused. Once I had a list [and made quite the dent in a stack of sticky-notes] I started crossing things off…
I decided run in any form was too specific. Sure I love to run, but I love zumba and lifting, too.
Sure I’m surrounded by a husband, son, and two male dogs now, but maybe I’ll have a daughter someday.
I couldn’t get “run happy” out of my head, and while I love my brooks, run happy is their thing.
There are so many bloggers (with greater credentials than I) with “health” in the title.
C probably says “mommy” 100+ times a day now, but mommy sounds babyish and I didn’t want something I’d outgrow quickly.
My original first choice when I launched last year was “Two Dogs & A Baby.” I always sing that phrase to “Call Me Maybe” [I’m really cool]. Anyway, while I like the idea of incorporating my dogs into the blog name, I don’t really write much about my dogs.
I really like love chocolate, but like my dogs, it’s not really something I write about.
I thought of synonyms for some of my axed words. I knew I wanted my new blog name to be short and easy so I focused on one-syllable words.
Fit covered healthy and running without being restrictive.
Pink seemed like a good substitute for “happy;” it feels like a friendly color. I like pink. I currently have 17 pink shirts in my closet– it may be time to purge!
Being a mom is the core of who I am. Some form of mom, mommy, mother, mama was essential. Since I was going for one-syllable words, mom it was!
Once I decided on Fit Pink Mom I waited not-so-patiently. I said it out loud who-knows-how-many times. I said it to friends. I wanted to be absolutely sure this name encompassed the content and vibe I envisioned! After what felt like forrreverrr I got to work registering the domain name and all those tediously exciting things. 🙂
If you blog, what’s the story behind your blog’s name?
If you don’t, what are three words that describe you?
