I need some creative ideas..help!

It's time I start to blog. I've been wanting to do it for ages but just haven't jumped in yet. I need a name! We talked about it before but that was when I wanted to do a personal blog. I'm looking at this as (hopefully - at some point) an opportunity to make some money and flex my writing skills. It'll be mostly cooking, design and kid stuff (design, food, ect.) I guess technically it'll be a "Mom blog" so anything that incorporates that would be good too. Any ideas? 

I was thinking:

Sometimes Savory (but that sounds like sometimes it's awful - could be true!)

Sort of Salty (cause, you know, I can be pretty salty? - ugh)

Everything I come up w/ is LAME. Help!

  • Combine the two and add some sweet: Sweet and Savory with a Pinch Of Salt

  • I have no creativity to help with a name, but I totally agree that you NEED a blog! I would follow you (not in a stalkerish way)

    Jana would.

  • It needs to be pretty short. And unfortunately, one of my fav. cooking blogs is Savory Sweet Life. WAH! Everyone already has the good names. Damn it. :)
  • Instead of focusing on the food part, what about thinking towards the mom part?  Maybe something like the "Rambling of a NY mom". and then subtitle it with "recipes, kids, crafts, and whatever the hell else i feel like"

    If you use blogger you can have both the title and subtitle showing.

    I know that wasn't creative but maybe if you go in that direction you'll come up with something more clever?

     

  • Erin, do you live in the woods?  I thought you did.  If so, we could play on that.

    Woodsy Mama (then add a subtitle like Patty suggested)

    Mama's Got Wood (that was more for me really)

  • YES! See, that's why I come to you people. Patty, you're totally right. I've been reading up on the business of blogging and completely forgot that I need to cater it towards my target audience. That's an awesome jumping off point! 
  • BWAHAHA! Mama's got Wood. Hilarious. Yeah, I live sort of in the country but sort of don't. Weird? Yes. 
  • I always think of you as the city girl in the country.  Maybe something along those lines?  I would totally stalk you too.
  • I also love that you're a "cyko" mom.
  • I was thinking of playing off the "cyko" too.

    Slightly Cyko, Completely Happy

    Cyko's Solace (because you may find solace in your writing and cooking...I don't know...)

    totally agree with this! 

  • "city mouse in a country house"?
  • HA! Amy, that was the original idea back when I wanted to do this before. It's taken. I had an idea while feeding the girls lunch. 

    City Mama, Country Drama.

    LAME? ugh. I'm not good at this.

    NOT LAME! i love it!!

  • I'm so not a creative person so I have no suggestions for you:(

    But I will totally follow your blog once it's up.  I have a list of several that I check every day.

  • oooo! i will totally stalk you, but not in a creepy way! 

    other ideas: something to do with your red hair or art school background?

    i agree with pp's about being a city girl in the country though :)

    sorry i'm bad at this too :)

  • I like it!  A lot.

    My onnnnnly hesitation is that my first impression is that it would be a blog about having to deal with the drama of a small town, not necessarily your own family drama.  BUT, if you use a subtitle, you'll get that point across.  I also love the rhyme!

    Now make it! 

  • i think that city mama, country drama would lead me to believe that you currently live in the city. does that make sense? i am still trying to think of a catchy name . . .

    when we updated our blog, it took us ages to come up with a name we both liked!

  • I'm right behind ya coming up with a name...Starting a blog is on my winter lay-off to do list...

    I love the city mouse country house idea...and with a great bi-line I think it covers all the bases of what you are going to write about...

  • WAIT! City Mouse in a Country House is NOT taken anymore!!!! And the domain name is available too. Thoughts???
  • I would say go for it..... :)
  • YES!!!!!!!!!!!
