I decided to join the world of blogging. I made the conscious decision to start up this blog, but then looked at the blank screen for quite a while. My first question to answer "What is this blog going to be about?"
The answer? My family, Everything I do is about, for and with my family.
I have always been a very easy going person and I would say in the past self absorbed as most young adults are. It may have taken me a little longer to get here, but since starting my family in 2005 I feel like I have changed, though not as a person completely. Me I'm still in here, I'm still me, but I am much more focussed, responsible and sure of myself.
The next question I had to answer is "What do I want to achieve with this blog?"
Well I've never been a very organized person (I'll let my younger sister be the organized one). And because its not really a strength of mine, I haven't been keeping a good log or record for my kids. I tried to make a baby book for each of my children. I instead made a video montage of photos I had taken of the kids in their first year. Slowly I have noticed I take fewer and fewer. To find a family photo to put on my blog post header, well the latest was in September 2010 and my husband isn't even in it. I am going to try to record the funny, the ah ha moments, the challenges and the "stuff" that goes on with my family of 5. There will be lots of talk I'm sure about my mom (who I am I lucky enough to work with everyday) and my sisters. We are very close and they are a big part of my family dynamic. I don't actually expect a following, but wanted to keep a journal of sorts where I can reflect on: the total awesome moments and struggles as I learn to be Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Friend and Bra Fitting Specialist all at the same time. I am not a writer; I will leave that job to my wonderful older sister, so don't check for grammar or spelling. I will post from time to time, hopefully to learn something about myself, my role and my family along the way.
Enjoy,
Tara
