Slacker me

Since I started blogging my actual journaling has been put on the back burner. I used to write in one of my journals daily. I have one for each of the kids, Allen and myself (one good and one that should just be thrown away if I die!) So I pulled out Allen's to write to him last night and discovered it had been almost a year! What?! How did that happen? I have been printing off some of my blog entries, but not all of them, so I think I'll have to make sure to do that and put them in with the appropriate journals. I also have a dream of building homemaking journals for each of my girls in the form of a scrapbook with everything from our daily schedule, our favorite recipes, how I do our laundry, our chores and how we do them, crafts they are learning, picture of them cooking and baking, how to make baby food and baby wipes...all that stuff that I do as a mom. I think life will be completely different for them by the time the are moms themselves and will be great fun for them to look back and remember and laugh.

Wendy said...: OH, I L-O-V-E that idea!! We need to scrapbook together! When do you ever get time? I have three full scrapbooks (with many half-done pages), and then I just didn't get much of anything done after #3 child was born! Part of my problem is that it takes me forever to pull my stuff out and put it all back. I need a dedicated scrapbook room!!; 8:27 PM
Amy's Blah, Blah, Blogging said...: OK, you awesome mom you! Wow, you should give classes on what to do. I'd be on the opposite side stating the points of how not to do it! So not kidding either. :(

I'm sure your kids would love that! And you make baby wipes? How? Enquiring minds need to save money! :); 11:49 AM

as He would desire. Offer up all such occasions to Him, and if sometimes you are put out, and give way to impatience, do not be discouraged, but make haste to regain your lost composure."
