{the blog}
The Siren’s Tale blog aims to empower and inspire thoughtful living. People too often spend their days in a fog, shuffling in and out of routines, blind to the beauty that surrounds them. The Siren’s Tale makes you stop, appreciate the moment you’re in (whether for a tale, laugh, or a piece of gratitude), then move forward through the day with new inspiration and thought.
{the lady behind the blog}
Hi there, I’m Caitlin! A later-20-something living on the East Coast of the United States. After a decade chasing college degrees and career ladders, I began this blog as a creative outlet to reconnect with myself. Writing and blogging pushed me to look at what happiness meant to me (and it was found in the most surprising of places). I’m now learning about agriculture, beekeeping, herbalism, and organic farming to begin my farm and homestead in the next year.
In the meantime, I spend my days chasing adventures with Michael (lovingly called ‘my guy’ and ‘my beau’), with an awfully adorable fur-little family in tow. And when I’m not knee-deep in loving this beautiful life, I take moments for writing, gratitude, photography, cooking/baking, and homesteading.

I have nominated you for the very inspiring blogger award.
http://radaronelson.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5492&action=edit&message=6&postpost=v2
Wow, thank you so much! This truly means a lot to me. I love hearing feedback from readers of my blog, and to be given an award – well that just makes me boil over in happiness 🙂
That picture rocks! You look like you’re using a tropical leaf as a parasol – very siren-like!
Why, thank you! I thought it was quite siren-esque, so what better than for my blog? Now if only I can figure out a way to finagle that tropical paradise into my home (or at least my backyard).
You have been nominated for the beautiful blogger award.

I adore you… Thank you!
Hi, I’ve been following you but not getting your posts, don’t know why!
Hmm… it says you subscribed 3 weeks ago, so any new posts should show up in your ‘Reader’. However, sometimes it’s easy to scroll past or miss a post through the reader. I believe you can sign up by email as well to get email notifications of new posts. I hope they start showing up soon for you!

You HAVE been nominated! Thanks for the entertainment 🙂 http://babygirlluvskisses123.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/856/
Thanks!
I’m a fellow Caitlin (no one seems to spell it our way, have you noticed?) Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Our beautiful Gaelic spelling is definitely withering throughout the generations. I meet a lot of Kaitlyn, Caitlyn, and Katelynn’s. I adore our spelling! Thanks for the well wishes, they are much appreciated 🙂
strong introduction. love this 🙂
Thank you lady!
U are welcome 🙂
I am very excited to mosey on down through your blogs!
Aww, why thank you! Once I catch up with the Freshly Pressed comments, I’ll be visiting everyone’s blogs too – can’t wait to stop by yours as well.
Great intro. Awesome pic. Amazing hair. So jealous of your hair 🙂 Write on…
Thank you very much! Don’t be too jealous – it’s like trying to wrangle a wild beast in the morning, ha!
I just found your blog through Freshly Pressed, and I love it! Your take on life is thoughtful, insightful, and hilarious. (Oh, and for those asshats who left less-than-nice comments on your Homesick post? Their comments say more about them and their problems than anything else. It was an awesome post, and it deserved nothing less than an enthusiastic high-five and a heartfelt “I can relate.”) Thanks for writing and sharing your musings with us! 🙂
What wonderful feedback to receive… thank you so much! That is truly appreciated.
Hi there. Thank you for following my blog! I love yours. 🙂
Thank you very much! That is such a kind compliment 🙂
Hi Caitlin,
Thank you for following me, I’m really happy to get a new friend :). i mean it :).
You can call me Yuna.
It’s very nice to “meet” you, Yuna. Can’t wait to read more of your blog!
thank you. I’ll share more random, nice and happy things :).
There is nothing like a wicked introduction
and yours is perfection, oh and when I say
wicked I mean in the positive sense, but if
you decide to venture into my realm of the
wicked and wonderful then you will surely
know what I mean 🙂
I am going to click on the follow option and
rather naughty of me will add you to my blogroll,
or should I say My Knaves 🙂 lol All will become
clear later, well maybe? Anyway I will send
you an invite after browsing so that if you fancy
a bit of a stroll around my Space you can, and
if not then don’t worry, just drop it into the Yuk
Box for obliteration purposes, that sort of thing 🙂
Wow my waffling gets worse and all I was going
to say was that I figure that The Sirens Tale will
be a wicked place to frequent, but in doing so I
have quite fiendishly plugged my own Space 🙂
Now that is what I call killing two birds with just
the one stone, okay I am out of here, do have a
fun weekend and call soon, if you like I mean? 😉
Andro
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m so glad you enjoy my writing thus far, and hope you enjoy it in the future too!

Thank you so much! Very kind of you 🙂 Best of luck to you as well.
So I guess you had a sneaky look at my offerings then Miss Caitlin… and now you have just become the latest member of The Spikey’s, that small clan of folk known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂
Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.
My aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures since the 70′s, as well as day to day happenings on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations on life as I see it. Of course, if you have any suggestions for me, I’d love to hear from you, serious. In return, I promise not to be overbearing with perhaps 2-3 posts a day tops.
Thanks again for your vote of confidence, and hope you have a great day…
