I wanna be a blogger! I really mean it this time :)

I love to spend my free time looking at various blogs. (As well as the time I should spend working on something more productive! haha!) I also love to talk, write, and share my experiences with other people, so it would only seem natural that I would want to keep up with a blog myself. But, for some reason (most likely my undiagnosed ADD!) I can't seem to focus long enough to actually do it! Maybe it's because in real life, I never edit anything I say and blogging makes me feel this great pressure to make my printed words perfect and meaningful and significant. It's more than a little intimidating to think that someone who currently may view me as "having it all together" might change their mind about the kind of mother or wife they perceive me to be. But then again, isn't that why I like reading blogs? The people who write them share their real life struggles and joys in a way that brings me an odd sense of comfort. I love how I can relate to a difficult experience with the writer. I love how they inspire me to be more creative and how they encourage me to learn more about the things I am interested in. They motivate me to try new recipes, decorating ideas, and different kinds of crafts. They also remind me of how blessed I really am. They are the stories of everyday people who are courageous enough to let their guard down and share their ups and downs with the rest of their world. I want to be that for someone else eventually.

Wouldn't it be great if I had this blog to look back on when my kids are older, and I had a record of our adventures in this crazy "life on the verge"? Oh, if only I had started sooner! Well, you know what they say -- there is no time like the present! So here I go again, trying to become a regular blogger. Even if nothing I have to say is important, even if no one besides me reads it.

I am excited about this journey! Come along and follow me if you want :) I'd love to have you!
