We're now closing out 2015 and, again, I find myself resolving to write more in the coming year. I think my motives have changed a little with this year's resolution though.
I started this blog years ago as a means of keeping in touch with family and friends. It was meant to be a glimpse into our lives to keep people up-to-date with work, school, life adventures, etc. Then it became a place to share cute photos of our growing family. Then I decided that there were too many creepy people on the internet that didn't need access to images of my children, or details about our family life, so I altered the privacy settings...
And now it is this. A private little space on the internet where I would still like to keep in touch with family and friends. I would still like to share stories of our adventures (although our definition of, "adventure," has changed over the last eight years) and pictures of our growing family (currently drafting this post at 34 weeks pregnant with baby number three).
I don't think I have the creativity, ambition or time to change the entire trajectory of this blog, but I do hope that it can be a little more multi-functional. I'd like for it to be more than a two-dimensional space where I provide brief updates about our lives. I'd like for it to be a place you visit to feel understood, to be encouraged, or, at the very least, to find some humor.
I may not update it weekly, but the updates that do surface after the kids go to bed, after Jon goes to bed and after I've successfully or unsuccessfully resisted whatever sweet happens to be in my kitchen, will be sincere.
Happy New Year, friends. And thanks for reading:)
