Here it is...

I just read a post written on a friend's blog about whether or not she should dedicate her posts to something. She's right--every successful blog out there, and yes, I would like mine to be successful--is dedicated to something: being a mother, pastoring, computer science, etc. My question is, do I know any one thing well enough to blog about it daily?

The only thing that I really know is my life. I am a mother. I am a sometimes nurse, cook, teacher, big ole meanie, and cuddler. I am a wife. I am also a sister and a daughter.

So, those things are what my blog will be about. I can write easily about my kids: what they're doing, how they're growing, the things they say. I can write about nursing them, cooking meals (mostly that because of how much I love food, and the fact that cooking/baking is cathartic for me), methods we use to learn the ABCs and such, and sometimes even about how I discipline.

I don't know how easy it will be for me to write about being a wife, because that role I'm not as sure on. I mean, I am secure in my role as wife, but I really think it's easier to be a mommy than a wife. Or at least, it's easier to write about the mommy role, mostly because it's less personal. However, I am sure that since my entire being revolves around my boys and husband, a post about being a wife will pop up once in a while.

So, in general, my posts, and my blog, will be not so much about me, but about family life. How does a family work? Or, how does MY family work? Food, budget, family time, couple time, in-law issues, discipline, etc, are all parts of making my family work, and that's all I know enough to write about.

So folks, here it is. I hope someone out there will find something I've written interesting, but if not, I can't change what I am...so I'll just keep writing.
