Why I blog...

I started hand-written journals for each of my boys when I first found out I was pregnant with them. I did awesome updating them until around June of 2009 for Jax, and December of 2009 for Cash. I didn't journal a single thing for either of them in 2010. It shocked me and gave me a little anxiety when I realized I hadn't documented a thing for one whole year of their lives. BUT, then I realized I had...on my blog! Thank goodness!!! I was able to go back through all of my posts and see what kind of fun and amazing things my boys had done. I spent 2 hours last night and 2 hours this morning updating their journals. My hand hurts but my heart feels so much better! I vow to journal at the end of each month in 2011. So...with that said....I am off to find the pictures I want to post of our wonderful, magic, and fun-filled Christmas! Happy Monday and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yay for blogging! I love checking in to see what your two cute boys have been up to.

I'm so excited about this scrapbook that I used for 2010: Project Life by Becky Higgins. www.beckyhiggins.com/blog

I actually put it together the other day, all 365 photos were inserted in one night, now I'm working on the journaling. I'm good at taking a picture almost everyday but not so much with the journaling so I'm glad I have facebook updates and blogging to fall back on to fill in some of the story!

Thought I'd share it with you if you hadn't heard of it since I know you like to scrapbook (as do many of the people that commented on this post actually!). I'm going to try to be better with my journaling and do it more often (I purchased the turquoise edition of Project Life for 2011 as well, I have the old (red) version for 2010)
