My first blog!!

So... I am giving this whole blog thing a try... Lately I have been reading a lot of fellow bloggers' stories, and it has really inspired me. I want to try to record things going on in the lives of my family to keep these wondeful memories at the forefront of my mind. It is so easy to become overwhelmed with the little challenges that life sends our way and that steal our joy. I am hoping that this will be a place to come back to, that will remind me of all that I have to be thankful for. It will also be a great tool for this always busy, on the go, sleep deprived mama to log some memories that may otherwise be forgotten in the monotony of everyday life. I don't know if I will ever open this blog up to others on purpose, but for now, it will be my tool to focusing on an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving in all that life sends my way. God bless!
