Intentions schmentions

Hello and Happy August!

Can you believe that summer is almost over? I don't know where the months have gone. But here I am making what is apparently my biannual post on my blog. Maybe that's what I should re-name it "Biannual Blog : A Busy Person's Sad Attempt at a Hobby." Catchy, huh? At the time of my last post lo those many months ago, I truly intended to begin writing weekly. "It will be easy," I thought,"I'll just jump online after the kids are asleep, whip out the blog in a minute or two and head off to bed." But like so many other intentions, that quickly went by the way side. Eventually so many weeks had gone by without fulfilling that intention that I started thinking "Well, it's too late now." I felt really badly about it, but almost didn't know how to begin again, especially after all of my big talk about new years, new resolutions, etc. Yeah, right. I couldn't even look at my blog page, truth be told. It was as if I had made a promise to a friend and then broken it. The idea of seeing that friend face to face and having to own up to my shortcomings, admit that I had for lack of a better word lied, was too much. I couldn't muster the strength. Better to lay low, hide-out, let it blow over. Cowardly, to be sure, but even more-so when the person you are afraid to confront is yourself.

So here I am, failed intentions and all, beginning again...again. I won' t make any lofty promises to you, whosoever may be out there reading this blog, or to myself. All I will say is that I am hoping, wanting and expecting to revisit my telling of Ainsley's arrival and subsequent years of life, including Owen's journey into the world, very soon.

But maybe don't hold your breath. :-)

Until tomorrow...

A New Year, A New Day a New Blog

So here it is, January, the beginning of  a new year, new goals, new resolutions... and a new post to my blog (finally!)  The fact that I have not written since August only serves to illustrate how busy the life of a mom (and dad) can be.  Like most parents of young children, I consider myself lucky if I find the time to shower each morning and pass a brush through my hair let alone time to indulge in other personal endeavors, such as writing.  But since this is the time for setting goals for ourselves and holding ourselves accountable, I am back at my blog vowing to write if not every day at least two or three times a week. :-)

With that goal in mind, I will keep this short. Tomorrow I will begin anew in the telling of my journey into motherhood, such that it might help you in some small way navigate the slippery slope of parenthood yourself. :-)  I am also planning to begin a product reviews section (of which I have MANY, being the opinionated mass consumer that I am!) so do check back for that.

For now I will leave you with some simple words of inspiration to tackle your own resolutions this week:

"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man." -Benjamin Franklin

Until tomorrow..
