Well as you can see I took a longish break from my blog. I even wondered if I should just leave it to molder in the dust. But last night I was reading the blog of someone who left a comment on my blog one time and I found we had a few things in common such as number of children, etc.
Her blog was not too fancy-no giveaways, no tutorials, no big craft projects, home decor or DIY tips, no advertising and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it because it was simply her little record of her family's activities and her tender feelings for her children.
I think I got caught up in wanting people to notice my little blog and was trying to make it more like the big name blogs. I don't know why that was so important to me. It's not now, six months later than my last post. A few things have happened in the last few months to open my eyes.
Last night I started back-reading my own blog and I am so thankful I have this record. My other 'journal' I was writing on the computer got erased when the flash drive it was on went through the wash. I was mad and sad, but I am so thankful that this record is still accessible.
So my intention from here on out is to keep this little photo-journal of our family. Nothing more. Nothing less. I am even going to go back to using the kids' real names because even I can't keep the aliases straight!
My hope is to someday turn this blog into some actual books that my kids can look at and read. That's who this blog is really for. My kids and future generations. No more worrying about any other readers. This feels right.
I will attempt to do a few posts to catch up on the things I missed and they'll be backdated, then we'll proceed from there!
