How should i start with the mobile first design?

HI,

Mobile first design first in head right? Recently iv been doing websites starting from desktop to mobile. But as Nick says, mobile first.

SO heres my question. How should i put it in CSS so its nice? should i do it like i did it on desktop? or should i do the same way but place the css in the media querry? e.g:

This is my normal template i start from , the names i change obeviously .

/*

/* --------------------------------------

/* --------------------------------------
   Header
   -------------------------------------- */



/* --------------------------------------
  Focus
   -------------------------------------- */



/* --------------------------------------

/* --------------------------------------

/* --------------------------------------

/* --------------------------------------
   Contact
   -------------------------------------- */



/* --------------------------------------
   Footer
   -------------------------------------- */



/* --------------------------------------
   Media Queries
   -------------------------------------- */

/* Portrait & landscape phone */
@media (max-width: 480px) {



}


/* Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
@media (max-width: 768px) {



}


/* Tablet desktop */
@media (min-width:768px) and (max-width:1110px){



}

Now, seen this, should i put the media queries under e.g Home? and start there with the sytiling for the mobile design? Or should i just put it here at the bottom and when i scale it up , the deskto desing put it wheres normal?

I rally want to write good code and structure. Plus im using bootstrap all the time. I can still make everything in CSS although i didnt try to do the grid system yet . I just feel using a framewokr for now its more convinient because im more focusing on back-end for now .
