Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

1 Getting dirty



Today I planted annual flowers in my beds. Mostly I just got petunias, marigolds, & allysum, but I did try a few new things. Kylie enjoyed snacking on the rocks, dirt, & flowers.

I still need to find a perennial to climb the lattice under the girls' window. I'm thinking about a climbing rose.

Last year I transplanted a few strawberry plants as a boarder around the 2-level bed to the right of the sidewalk. Now they have completely taken over. I didn't have the heart to rip them out, so I guess I'll be making LOTS of jam this summer.

Note: the next morning my wrists (especially the right) are so sore from all that planting.
