Some of you may have noticed that I changed the name of my blog. Well, I thought it was time.  Back when I was on Wordpress my blog name was Wading Through the Ocean of Life.  When we made the switch to self-hosting, J secured the url msbuff.com.  Makes sense.  It's my name.  That's what I was known as when I was teaching.  But the more I've been thinking about it, Ms. Buff just doesn't fit.  It's not that descriptive.  It doesn't really have any memorable quality to it.  I wanted something that reflected the state of my life and this blog.  So I decided to go back to my old blog name: Wading Through the Ocean of Life. The name actually comes from the title of a creative writing piece from college.  In it, three generations of women attempt to find their place and identity.  The piece itself isn't that great, but the title seemed absolutely perfect to describe the idea.  So I used it for my personal blog.  As the years have gone on (almost 3!), I've come to appreciate the idea more and more.  Every day I wade through the ocean of life.  Sometimes it's calm and clear.  Sometimes it's rough and stormy.  But if I just keep wading things are bound to change and I can encounter something different.

We the impending arrival of my third child and big changes for the family, I feel like going back to my original blog name makes so much more sense.  In the coming months I want to start including more life posts.  I will still be reading and reviewing books, participating in readathons, and generally loving books.  But there's so much more to my life than just books.  So except much more coming.  And some adorable pictures of babies and family related activities.
