Well, this is it. I finally took the plunge and started a blog. I really never thought I would but for some reason I have had an urge to keep track of my everyday life. Now that I have said that lets see if I follow through. Working, three kids, an internet business...UUGH. I need to get some organization back in my life.

I think what started this, besides all of the blogs my friends have, is when I picked up my new book "Love Your Handwriting", by Heidi Swapp last week. I started to read it and realized that in order for me to really make the most out of my scrapbook pages my journaling needs to be meaningful. Heidi's books guarantees that you will love your handwriting when you are done. MMM, I am still skeptical but willing to give it a try.

Anyway, back to my journaling. With all the crazy things going on in the US and abroad these days we just don't know what the future holds for each of us. I want my children to always know that their mommy loved them very much, and that I kept track of all the happenings in their lives. I want the words on my pages to be meaningful and heartfelt. Not rushed or sloppy. I am so afraid I will forget something, that in the process of writing so fast I do. I want the kids to pick up a scrapbook and not only see the pictures before them but to read what happened, read the tid bits of information that only their mom would remember, or in most cases see as significant. I know they will treasure these pages as their little hands flip though them. As their hands grow larger, I want them to always feel the excitement of those moments in their lives that have been captured in these books.

Ok, so enough of my ranting. I really just need to see how this blog thing works. I am going to hit the preview button. I guess if you see this then I was pleased with the results. Later!!
