To Catch Up, or Not Catch Up...

Originally, I thought that I would use my blog as a sort of substitute for scrapbooking. I thought I would write a lot about my kids, my husband, and all of the things that go on in our family. I didn't really think I would think of things to write or post about that didn't include my family, since most of what I do all day involves them. As I have read back on some of my posts, I realize that a lot of them are more about me than about them. Now, I am not saying this is a bad thing. I am actually pleasantly surprised to see that I do have things to say, but....as I looked back I realize that there are a lot of things that have happened in the last few months that I have left out of my blog. Important things. Holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and Valentine's Day. Two of my children's birthdays, and these were pretty big birthdays-Lily turned 5 and Noah celebrated his 1st birthday in December. Other milestones like Noah walking, talking, etc.

So, here is my dilemma. I wanted to do this as a scrapbook but I haven't really been scrapbooking. Instead it has become a public journal of sorts. I am ok with that, but feel like I still need to "scrapbook" for my children. I want to "catch-up" but I also know that sometimes that can be a bit overwhelming for me and keeps me from doing anything. I told myself when I started to blog that I would only do it as long as I enjoyed it. I didn't want to make myself feel guilty about what I thought a blog should be. So, I am going to absolve myself of the guilt...right now...seriously...I am letting it go...right now...ok, right now...

While I am letting the guilt go here is a little riddle for you to solve:

What does a little boy who saw his dad come out of work and turn around to go back in and grab something look like?


Give up?


Here is a clue:








This boy loves his daddy. 'Nuff said.



(P.S. I am still accepting volunteers for the previous post. If you want to play along you still can! I am offering you something HOMEMADE! This could be very fun. I might not know how to do a lot of homemade stuff, but I have a few skills!)
