The Beginning

So this blog has come about for a couple of different reasons:

1. I've been trying to set some goals for this year. I'm horrible at it. I don't want to make them too vague because then I won't do them, but I don't want to make them too specific because then I'll feel like a failure if I don't do them (you can see I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.) Anyway, I finally came up with a two fold goal: Improve myself and Improve my family. I know what you're saying...so much for not being vague, but here is where the second reason for the blog comes into play.
2. Quite occasionally I find myself randomly blog surfing. (I'm sure I have things to do, but I consider my time doing my blog "me" time.) I digress...as I was saying, "blog surfing"...and in my surfing I found myself making comments like, "oh that's cute" or "oh I should try that" or something along those lines and then these 2 ideas collided. Why don't I use a form (ie. blogging) that I enjoy to help improve both myself and my family?

Which now brings me to this blog. My hope is that I can use this blog to help inspire me to learn new things and enrich my families lives. Maybe in my quest for self improvement and family improvement you'll find something that might interest and inspire you...or at the very least, make you laugh and brighten your day a little. So, here's to my new endeavor...and just as a little disclaimer, I actually do have 5 kids and all the responsibilities that come with caring for a family of 7, so be forgiving of me. If I don't get a post up daily, chalk it up to one of those days. If I say something you don't like, just remember it's only my opinion, and if my project attempts aren't perfect...well, remember, I never professed to be perfect.

Please feel free to leave me comments. I'd love to hear what you have to say, and I'd love to get ideas or suggestions on what you'd like to hear.
Happy mombling!
