So, I started this blog a while back primarily to allow my extended family, who live a considerable distance from us, the opportunity to know what was going on in our lives. At the time I was not a Facebook user and I love to write, so it seemed the perfect outlet to share. Eventually, I succumbed to the pressure and opened a Facebook account. Having a Facebook account led to shorter more frequent posts and easy photo uploading. I even suggested my Grandmother get an account, and she did. After a while, pretty much everyone I cared to share with was on Facebook and it seemed to diminish the need for a blog. Gradually I wrote less and less until finally resulting in a couple years worth of inactivity. Recently I realized that although I post quite a bit on Facebook still, it does not function as a record or a diary of sorts like this blog once did. I miss being able to look back and read about what we were thinking, feeling, and doing at a particular time.
I also missed writing. I love to write and for a time this blog offered me an outlet. There have been many things I desired to write about, AND HOW, in the past couple years. There just isn't the format or the space on Facebook, to properly express some things. All this brings me to today, and the revival of my blog. It will not look exactly as it's original intent. This time, I will endeavor to use this as an outward expression of who I am. That being said, my children and our little home school are a big part of my life so I am sure they will continue to be a big part of this blog.

You said exactly what I've been thinking lately! Obviously I've still been blogging--but not anywhere near as regularly as I did before FB, and now most of the little funny things I just quickly post on FB instead of the blog. But I'm hoping that eventually I can make a book out of my blog through Blurb, and all the stuff I posted on FB won't be in there! I am hoping to be more regular at posting this year, but sometimes I think I am just mentally lazy (or just too busy, LOL), as far as getting my thoughts in posting order, so posts I think about never happen. We'll see. I'm excited you're blogging again! : )
