It all started three years ago when I was just getting into the blogosphere. I had been reading a few for a while and wanted to start commenting. Most blogs like you to have some sort of ID so I signed up for blogger and decided I may even give this blogging thing a try. The day I decided to start my blog it was almost on a whim and I really hadn't thought it through. It asked me what I wanted my URL to be and I hadn't even decided on a name for the blog so I just used our last name, now in retrospect, I should have waited until my creative juices were flowing and I decided what my little place on the Internet was going to be called.
It took me several weeks to decide what name I wanted. I thought of several and turned to trusty old google to see if anyone else had that same name or a similar name, many of the ones I wanted were taken. So I got to thinking about my family. At the time Lauren was one year old so it was just the three of us. I wanted something that represented my family but not using our name.
Ladybugs - my nickname from my mom has always been ladybug among several other things she has called me over the years but this one has stuck. My kitchen is decorated in ladybugs and in fact I have two tattoos that both have something to do with ladybugs.
Butterflies - when we were decorating Lauren's nursery the bedding and wall decorations we picked out have butterflies on them.
Boxing - this one is for Brian. Long before Lauren was born Brian began training with a friend of his to become basically a UFC style of boxer/fighter. He would train several hours a day, most days of the week and he really wanted to do some amateur fights. When Lauren was born he decided that it was really more of a hobby to him rather than something he wanted to do professionally. {thank goodness!!}
And that is how Ladybugs, Butterflies and Boxing was born. Obviously since I have started blogging things have evolved and we have had another child. I have been toying around with changing the name but nothing really has jumped out at me. I do really want to change the URL though, something to incorporate the title of the blog but it just seems so long. I am open to suggestions for both! :)

Thank for sharing your story on how you came up with the name for your blog. Have a nice weekend.
I think I knew most of this. As you can tell, my name for mine wasn't all that original. Luckily it has held up over time, but it's still kind of boring. I think I've had about 3 urls in that time though. It use to have my name and then I decided I didn't want that out there. And I have no ideas for a different name!
