So why did I create another blog?
I have my homeschooling blog and I love it! I love posting what we do in our day to day journey of homeschooling and life in general. I love that my family can read it and know what we are up to in an instant and at their leisure. But obviously I felt something was missing but what?
Well one thing that I don't include on my other blog is "me" stuff. In that I mean I would mention that I was going to sit and knit but I never included what I was working on or what I was learning. I would mention housework ....endlessly it seems, but I would never mention what it means to me to serve my family and yet at the same time making sure my boys have some life skills and training them to be good husbands and what all that entails. In other words I didn't "reveal" or talk about my "personal" aspects of my life and I think that's what I have found to be missing....for me.
So I've decided to keep THIS blog personal, private (I will share with a few good friends) but really this blog is .....just for me!
I've really seen the advantages for me of blogging our homeschooling journey, I find it helps me "process" our days and keeps me focused on the things that I think are important. So I'm hoping this "journal" of sorts will help me in the personal side of my life.
I also want to have a "space" to put things that I want to research and tend to forget about. So it will be a "storage" place as well.
I also don't want to forget to celebrate as well. Celebrate what? Celebrate me!! Somedays I feel so lost in the myraid of it all that I forget that I am unique, I am contributing, I am talented and I want to celebrate that more, for me and for others.
Well this has turned out to be a pretty productive post, honestly I wasn't sure what I was going to say or how I was going to say it, but it seems to have taken a life of it's own this blog. Perfect, THAT is exactly what I wanted.
Thanks for listening.

hopefully you won't mind if I read it. I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I find on my blog I mostly post light things, pictures, fun comments etc. I'd like a bit more private place...to share deeper thoughts.
Wonderful post, isn't interesting that so many of us are coming from the same place? Needing to carve out a little bit of space to remember that we are women and individuals with hopes and dreams and talents and prayers.
I hope that you are able to use this place as you need.
