Busy Time of the Year

You can tell it's the busy time of year when I haven't blogged since September! Yikes. I don't have time to write much now, but I am still alive and kicking (just in case you were wondering). :) I hope to back to blogging after Christmas.

Why a blog?

Well, here I am with yet another form of electronic communication . . . why do I give myself another reason to be distracted from everything else that keeps me busy?!? Although I'm not really sure about that answer, I am really excited to have a blog. I got the idea to start one because my friend, Francis (http://www.aneclecticmom.blogspot.com/), has one and I've found out how fun it is to check her blog every few days to catch up on the latest news. Also, I've heard that blogging is a great way to painlessly document the daily details of our family. Since I'm a family historian through and through, this idea appeals to me immensely.

I'm not sure how faithful I will be at maintaining my blog, but I'll try to at least update it once a week (maybe more?). I want to have the opportunity to share with friends and family through the blog, but I have committed that it will not be continued if it begins to distract from my family time, my business (http://www.mylifemoments.net/), or my house-keeping. When I tell the boys, "just one more minute" or put editing pictures on the back-burner or lose a child within the piles of dirty laundry because I'm busy blogging, I know I will have to be more disiplined with my electronic commitments. But, until then, here goes nothing . . .
