Here goes ...

I am starting a blog ... let me say that again so it sinks in (for me). I am starting a blog. This is a big step for me. I love the idea of journals and diaries and blogs and memoir etc, that is if someone else is writing them.

I started a journal when my first daughter was born with the hope that I would write in it throughout her life and then present it to her on the day her first child was born. The outcome of that endeavor? FAIL, epic fail to be precise. I have already written/rewritten this first post three times. I am uncertain that I will actually finish and post this, but I do have high hopes!!


The motivation for this blog is SocialSpark. They pay you to place advertisements on your blog and to write reviews of various products. Who couldn't use a little extra cash? Mine will be used for the vacation jar. I'm gonna take a vacation with that hot husband of mine one day ... Who am I kidding, the money will probably go to fix the toilet that broke last night. But you know? I am perfectly okay with that. I love this old house and the four monkey children that I am privileged to spend each day with. My husband is unbelievable and my God is unchanging. What more can a girl ask for??
