Hi easymama and welcome to the world of blogging. Your blog looks very nice, especially since this is still new for you. You can do some cool stuff with the plugins too, browse around
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ if you haven't already.
I have a directory and your blog would meet my guidelines. Just keep writing posts with your own original text and update at least once a week, and you'll be doing it better than 90% of the blogs out there.
