1. To record precious memories.
2. To improve my writing.
Number 2 is so important to me. Lately, I feel like I can never get out what I feel or want to say. I feel trapped in my own mind. Like I am in a dream with my lips glued together struggling to speak. I easily forget things, little or big. Maybe having a second little one made my brain mush. All I think about is if I should be reading a book, changing a diaper, singing a lullaby, or kissing a booboo. My husband asked me to bring him the remote today and I handed him the goldfish (the snack). Hah!
I will warn you, I like to blab. In person and in writing. It's actually one of my favorite things to do. Talk talk talk. I have been working on less talking and more listening, in person. But rambling is the sole purpose of this blog. So it's a win-win for me!
Aside from praying and bible study, I aim to make a gratitude list every morning I wake up, so I will hopefully remember to do so in each blog.
Today, I am grateful for:
1. Being able to celebrate 3 years with my wonderful, unique, silly toddler.
2. My pocket reference guide for Essential Oils with YLEO from the wonderful Sadie whom I love dearly!
3. My Aunt Kimmy's chickens! We never have to buy eggs.
4. Being able to stay home with my kiddos. I never miss a milestone. And I don't take that with a grain of salt!
5. Change. Without change, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I asked Hallie what she wanted to name her goldfish and she said, "pishy!" She doesn't quite understand giving an animal a name yet, but she'll get there. So in the mean time....I will gladly call her fish pishy and doll dolly. If that's what makes her happy, I will roll with it!
Her 3rd birthday was Friday followed by her party Saturday. At her party, we painted pumpkins and the kids played outside. She sang louder than the whole crew singing Happy Birthday. You could see it in her face how special she felt and how excited she was to get her cake. The two things she wanted all day were to play with her Brayden and eat her cake. She cared nothing about presents. I'm not complaining about that!
If you have succeeded in reading my first blog, God bless you. And thank you for starting this journey with me!
