Blogaversary

One year ago today I started this blog. I have love / like relationship with it. I would LIKE to post more often. I would LOVE to post everyday. I think I could find something for everyday if I could just find the time.  

I was just explaining to Dan that I started the blog intending to eventually have it bound into a book so it could be somewhat of a scrap book. I was trying to explain that I was tossing around the idea of starting a "private blog" . Not making this blog go private but starting a whole other one. One where I could put anything on and no one would question my decisions. Decisions like finding an entry that says : May 8th 2009-We are finally bottle free!! Cause 22 months is late in the game to stop bottles. Or one that I could write an entry for Kamryn and Christian to tell them what their crazy nicknames were. So I tossed that idea around for awhile and I thought. Its already late May and I have posted nothing this month. Do I have time to maintain two blogs? I dont. If I went to two blogs would I concentrate more on the private one and neglect the exisiting one? Who knows. So I have decided to just stick with the one and maybe change the format a little. For the second year of blogging, its just going to be mine. Well mine and yours. We will have to share. Somethings I will write cause I want you to know. Somethings I will write really just for our family cause it was important to us and maybe I just wanted to remember the date. Something I will write because I want Kamryn and Christian to know in the future. I think those will be Dear Kamryn and Dear Christian. I just don't want to have to worry about what other people think with this -this one thing in my life. Worrying about what other people think is kinda draining sometimes. So with this I am letting it go. I am going barenaked blogging.  So take what you want and leave the rest. If you think somethings aren't the norm or are crazy, well I just don't care cause I am writing for me now.

Silly Kelly!!! You are suppose to write for yourself and not worry about what others think...thats the most theraputic way to do it...not to mention Dr. Seuss (I think) once said...The ones that mind don't matter and the ones that matter don't mind. So I say write what you want!!! Have a good day...and too bad about the bubble bath...they are young...they will learn the joys of a good bubble bath by the time they are 25...lol!!!

Always write for yourself and your family. If someone doesn't like it, they don't need to come by and read about your beautiful family.
A while back I wrote about my views on delaying vaccines with my 3rd child. It was my decision and I didn't give a s--t what anyone thought! It's controversial, but it was my decision along with my husband. Our son is healthy and currently up to date on his shots.But it was on our terms.
No one really left me any hate mail. I also took away the option to leave an anonymous comments on my blog.
