I can’t believe it has almost been a year since I last blogged. I thought I wouldn’t have time to keep it up so I just decided to stop writing. Since I wasn’t going to write anymore I decided to have my blog printed in a hard cover book so I would have everything in a journal-type book that I could look back on and remember the good times of pregnancy, new babies, marriage and the many other topics I wrote about weekly. After having the book printed (if you ever need a blog printed, I highly recommend Blog2Print) and reading through it, I regretted that I wasn’t writing as much with my second child and that I was missing those opportunities to talk about milestones.

Then, a good friend came over for dinner on Friday and I showed her the printed book of my blog. She said, “I loved reading your blog because your personality really came through in your words.” Then last night at our cookie exchange, another lady saw the blog book and starting commenting on how my kids and grand kids (I stopped her there as I am not ready to deal with that term yet) will treasure the book and have something to remember when I am long gone.

So, I am back! I hope to be more consistent. Thinking of the topics for each one shouldn’t be a problem as Joe says that my mind is like Dominos – I think of one thing then it goes to the next, then the next, then the next and 5 minutes later I can’t remember what started the conversation.

I will stop for now and will update this week.
