Hi there!
So, as I was driving home from picking my son up from school today, I looked in my rearview mirror and couldn't believe how BIG my son has gotten! And then I thought, I should start a blog for myself to track my children as they grow. And it will be nice to look back and laugh over their funny mannerisms! I try to do that in facebook so that my family can see the latest hilarity but this would be more permanent.
I have 3 kids, my son, J. is 6, my daughter O. is 4 and my daughter E. is 17 months. Forgive me for not sharing their names. The internet is rather scary.... We live in Southwestern PA in a cute, quaint little town. While living in town has some pluses: nice walking atmosphere, great Halloweens!, and nice neighbors; there are some minuses: no parking, living on a hill, living in a town w/ some undesirables. Overall, I really can't complain, except for the no parking! I complain about that ALL THE TIME! LOL!
I am a stay at home mom, and I help out whoever needs me whenever I can. I work part time for my dad who has several companies and is just becoming quite popular with his G.R.I.P. systems as well as his Medical Information Data Systems. Once the G.R.I.P. site is up and running, I'll share that link! Hey, I have to market wherever I can! I make my own greeting cards and other alterable items that keep me busy and broke! But I love it! Here's my craft blog: http://erinscrafts.blogspot.com
For this blog, I am making a goal of sharing something about my children here that I wouldn't necessarily share on facebook. Not because people wouldn't be interested, but, people don't need to see a daily update on my children besides my immediate family! And this is also a place where I can share recipes and little tidbits of my day on here. This will NOT be a place for morbid complaining! Occasional complaining is ok, but this is a POSITIVE blog! Some of my other friends have started blogs with similar goals and it's fun to pop in there to see the latest antics their children are coming up with! And of course, I had to hop on THAT bandwagon! I am not an intellectual person, and I'm not a deep thinker. So, this is a "fluff" blog for those that ARE deep thinkers! I say things exactly how they are. I'm a very literal thinker. I think in black and white. There are no shades of gray to me. This is how this blog will be. I will not apologize for my viewpoints. If you disagree, that's fine. But this is MY blog. I'm not saying that I'm going to turn political anytime soon. I don't really care to know about politics. But, I have a lot of other views that are different from most people. And I would like to air them at times. This blog would be my soapbox. I guess I should add that I have attention deficit disorder, so there will be posts that are SO random. And the subjects will hop from one thing to another with no segway. That's how I think! Just like this paragraph! It goes in quite a few different directions! Just keep that in mind as you read!
And on that note, I have cupcakes to make for tomorrow, lasagna to make for tonight's dinner, and baskets for a fundraiser tomorrow to fill!
Bye!
Erin
