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!

Yesterday Allie insisted on pushing Kylie in the stroller the entire way to the neighborhood park. I'd repeatedly told her to stay on the sidewalk as she veered left & right. Despite her reckless driving, I stayed a few steps behind to avoid being yelled at to let her 'do it myself'. Then, just as we left the safety of the grassy yards TRAGEDY STRUCK! Allie got too close the the edge of the sidewalk & the front wheel dropped off the cement (the park doesn't have sod yet). The stroller tipped sideways and then toppled forward. Kylie screamed as she fell helplessly, buckled in the stroller, face first into the gravel. It was slowmotion for me; I just couldn't get there fast enough. Poor Kylie ended up with a little bloody nose, but in true Kylie fashion was over the scare in less than a minute and just wanted to ride in the swing.

That is so sad! What did Allie think? I bet she wanted to push her the whole way home again.
