Welcome to a Cup of Joy! I wanted to start my blog off by introducing myself, why I started this blog, and by letting you know what it’s all about. First of all my name is Katie. I’m 24 years old and live in Iowa with my husband, Brad, and our two cats, Polly and Percy. Brad and I just got married on April 22, 2017. We live in a small two bedroom apartment so I am always looking at ways to decorate it and ways to make it feel larger. I am a plus size girl so I am on a bit of a journey to love myself (all of me), while taking a control of my life. I have fibromyalgia. In case you don’t know fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes widespread pain throughout my body. It makes me very tired all the time. I try not to let it get me down, and to still enjoy life.
I started a Cup of Joy for a couple of different reasons. I wanted to create a place where I could share my love of makeup, clothes, Jesus, health, and life. I also wanted a place where I could help to inspire others. I got the idea from being on Pinterest so often. Here I was making board after board when I finally thought to make my own blog. I decided on a lifestyle blog because I feel it can incorporate so much of who I am into one place.
I spent a lot of time trying to come up with the perfect name for my blog. I finally thought of ‘A Cup of Joy’ while I was at work. I had to open that day, and I was extremely tired. I kept thinking about how happy a cup of coffee would make me. That was when the name popped into my head.
A Cup of Joy is a place where you are ALWAYS welcome to talk. You can reach me by sending me a message right here on Tumblr or by emailing me at [email protected]. Whether you just need to talk, have a suggestion for the blog, or have a question that needs answered I am always here.
Put a little joy in your cup,
