"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."So, here I am posting on this shiny new blog because it is better to simply jump into the writing of things rather than twiddle my thumbs and let time keep chugging on without taking action on my plans.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure where I am going with this. I've done a bit of the mommy blog thing in the past and I don't know that I care to go into all the detail that I did previously. Don't worry, I'll still post my birth stories and share about my kids and parenting, and how sometimes I am an A++ mother, and how I know how to parent my kids better than anyone (truth). I'll probably also mention from time to time that I have hardly a clue what I am doing while I parent, and how sometimes I fail and fail again (truth). And hopefully I'll have plenty of stories about how even on the days that are tough, when I have lost my calm completely, I have brushed myself off, apologized to whomever I have offended, and moved on. That happens a lot, actually. But I'm thinking that I'll not only be writing about motherhood.
I may or may not blog about: faith, marriage, homekeeping, food, gardening, health/illness, pregnancy, books, home education, and, well, whatever else strikes my fancy. Maybe I will post some links I want to share. Perhaps I will be insightful on occasion. I might be funny, or not.
Why am I doing this? I am at a place where I need something that is for me. During this time of my life when I am focused on the wee ones 24 hours each day, even in my sleep attuned to their needs, I need a bit of a creative outlet. A perk to this outlet is that my thoughts and the events and milestones of my family will be recorded in one place, something I have lacked the past couple of years. I might post regularly and often, or I might not. Whenever the fancy strikes, I have this place in which to set down my thoughts.
Would you care to read along?
