I have found that as a mom of two, my good intentions to write down every milestone, amusing comment, adventure, or project in the end rarely come to fruition. I almost always put it off thinking that I will take the time to write about my day once the kids are tucked in, only to find that come eight o’clock I’m no longer up for the task. And on those rare days when I do get it done, its usually scribbled down on something entirely random like the old grocery receipt that is still sitting on the nightstand a week after I tossed it there much to the chagrin of my husband. Either that or I sit down to write only to find that my chronic baby brain has caused the amusing antidote to almost slip my mind entirely leaving me with only an unsatisfactory remembrance of the whole story. And writing down jewels like “Sophie said that thing about cats today”…is not exactly the gold nuggets of her childhood that had hoped I would treasure and relay to her when she’s grown. Hence the blog…I am hoping that getting to combine writing with photography, something I happen to love anyways, will keep me focused and will put an end to months going by before I finally try to recall important thing in my children’s live like when exactly was it that Sam started to roll over….And if this fails I’m going to buy a receipt spike for my night stand.
