Details

Every morning after my shower - I take a few minutes & jump on my computer to check 3 things - my emails, my facebook and my blog. I like to see what is going on in everyones world - big or small. I especially love the blog - Even the most insignificant posts give me a little thrill when they pop up as new post alert!

Those simple posts make my morning a little more bright!

I have noticed that anytime I have occasion to open my nightstand drawer, I pull out my old journals and read through old entries. I love to lay across my bed, with the dog and cat curled up next to me and remember. I almost always end up teary eyed!

I have also been known to spend hours reading through old blog posts - I just like remembering all of those special occasions.

So I am going to try and post more about our everyday life - i think it is important to celebrate even the mundane things. I look forward to looking back and seeing what funny or amazing or horrible things happened to our little foursome. The kids are changing at a head spinning rate and I don't want to lose the details.

You know what I mean - like, when you are decorating for Christmas and the kids are so excited to pull out their favorite ornament - that first look as it is unwrapped after a long year in the attic is magical to me!

Or when you find a slip of paper that has your teenagers "FOR MY MOM" poem - written with heartfelt words , way back in the first grade - can't you just see their sweet face as they presented it to you all those years ago? Can't you just feel their warm snugly body as you squeezed them tight to thank them?

Those are the details i am speaking of -

I warn all of you who follow us - some posts will certainly be skip worthy - just remember, I am doing this for my own sentimental reasons!
