Hello everyone,
It's me, Tenny. And welcome to my third {published} blog…{yup, you heard me all
right}.
I started blogging when my husband and I decided that I should stay home and
look after our children {around 2008}. So, to overturn my baby blues, I started
a Simply A Mom blog, a blog about a mommy life and product reviews. I had so
much fun writing. I learned so much about the social media world. I was
introduced to awesome bloggers, authors, founders, and many other people. I
even earned some money from that blog. However, after a year, I came to a
decision to delete the blog permanently. I couldn’t manage my time and felt
very overwhelm when I received offers to review different kind of products. I
sounded so much like a quiter, but I actually I want to stay true to myself.
While still writing Simply A Mom blog, I created another blog. I dedicated that
blog to my passion of scrapbooking and paper crafting. At first, I wanted to
share my new journey as a Close To My Heart Consultant, but… that blog took me
to a whole new world. I finally left Close To My Heart and joined many
different scrapbooking challenge{s} blogs and manufacture design teams. I met
many new wonderful and awesome friends. This blog has its up and down and I’m
very proud of it. It’s called Tenny’s Crafted Life. I shared
some very personal life story there too. However, I think…it is the end of an
era for my crafty life blog. Ok, don’t judge me wrong. I’m not that kind of
person who just quit and start something new. That’s not me. I will not delete
this blog, but I will no longer write there anymore.
Now, here is a little introduction behind the PoppiCino Story blog. Back in
college life, one of my favorite genEd subject was College Writing. Mrs. Nash
told me that I got some potential. Back then, I didn’t really get it
since English was my second language. My ex-boyfriend also told me that I
should write a book. I laughed. Ok, I didn’t take their good intentions seriously but to be honest I
love writing and sharing my thoughts. There are so many things that I’d like to
share sometime I don’t know where to begin. Then about 6 years ago my life has
been changed, my family did a major {seriously BIG} move. We moved from
Lincoln, Nebraska, USA to Surabaya,East Java, INDONESIA {a place where I was
born and grew up} From the Midwest to a Big City. My children both are US born
citizens and now they learn to live a new life. Life is not easy for me, my
hubby and my children. Lots of story to tell and I guess I needed a new
platform, that’s when the PoppiCino Story was born.
Why did I name this blog ‘PoppiCino’?
It wasn’t easy to find a name.
Through ups and downs, sadness and
happiness of life, I have found that Poppi,
the flower, and Cappucino soothe me. They both somehow can make me smile and
enjoy the moment.
So, I put the two words together and
I came up with the word PoppiCino.
I just LOVE it!
You probably will not read all happy
stories here, some might be miserable. However, I hope you will always come
back and read my blog to find a enjoyable moment with my writings.
So, Welcome to PoppiCino
blog and I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
Love,
Tenny
