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!

3 RE-evaluating my blog

For months you've read all my complaining about working too much to post, but it's been 2 weeks since the semester ended and I've almost been paid less attention to my blog since my workload was cut in half. (of course I have read 8 600+ page books in the past 2 weeks...that is a post to come)

Anyway, I've thought a lot about why I started this little blog in the first place and if I wanted to continue. I've come to the conclusion that I really do like it & want to keep it up. I want my focus to be more on the little things that my kids do & seemingly insignificant everyday things that would get forgotten otherwise. Sure, I still want to post about Birthdays and Weddings, but mostly I don't want to forget the little things before I have a chance to scrapbook them...like this moment at my Mom's house last week when Kylie investigated the Christmas Cactus.

So, I guess this week (since I'm NOT reading a book), I will attempt to post some of what I missing these past few weeks and then hopefully post nearly everyday. I'll re-evaluate in a few weeks.

PS- In 4 days it will have been a YEAR since I started this whole blog experiment! It was so much fun today to go back and look at the pictures and journaling a year ago...when Kylie was just born - Today she turned ONE!

Wow that was a lot of blogging you did! I can't believe that Kylie is 1! Where does the time go? So I didn't even know that Abby was expecting. I bet your parents are excited for their first grandson! Well tell her and Ellen Dirk and I said congrats!
