Day 2: The meaning behind your blog name

When this blog was first started it was my sister, Sarah, that did it. When Drew was born she set it up for me so we could share pictures of the new baby. It was a long time later that I decided to actually try out the blogging thing and I actually had to get the sign-in name and password from Sarah.

When I took over, I wanted to have a cute title and not just the typical Stivers Family Blog title. So, I just started brainstorming and thought of things to describe our family or our children. I came up with Trucks, Tiaras and Tutus because we have one boy and two girls. Trucks for Drew, and the tiaras and tutus for the girls. (Not that I am putting my children in boxes. If Drew wants to wear a tutu, he can. If Julianna wants to play with trucks, she can.) I thought that it sounded cute together, so that is what I went with.

I didn't think of this until my friend Myca pointed it out, but it would have been a good idea to do a different word order. It should be Tiaras, Trucks and Tutus to represent each child, and since Drew is in the middle, Trucks should be, too. But, it's too late for that, and I like the way this rolls off your tongue.

I know that this isn't very exciting, but that was my thought process behind the blog name.
