Blog Sites

There are so amazing blogs out there to read and sometimes after reading them I look at my blog and think my site is so pre-school level. These moms keep these blogs up to date and write such beautiful things (good or struggles) with completed thoughts and sentences. For my site... it is not a daily or weekly update and my writing... well that is a hole another thing. I can prof read and prof read and spell check and I will always miss something. My dyslexia really shines in my writing, so I tend to write less and post lots of photos. I love to journal and in fact I have been doing it for years. It is the one place I feel the safest in expressing what is happening in my life (or feeling) where I won't feel judged or graded on my grammar and writing abilities or where I can hide my "dirty laundry". From time to time I will look back over the years of my journal writing. I love doing that - it is always fun to go back and read the highs and lows of life. How some of the experiences of life have grown me, left an imprint on me or how I might have not learned a thing and it is something I still struggle with and it comes around once a year to poke at me. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry and sometimes I think maybe I haven't learned anything. I am always amazed of how people tell their life stories for the world to see. I always tend to be guarded with what I share even with my closest of friends whether on a blog site or in person, but for those women who share so openly...Thank you! It is a wonderful feeling to read blogs posts that make me feel I not alone and we all have similar struggles in life and great moments in life. That all of life experiences or feelings that I may be going through are "normal", because someone else was so willing to share their heart made my heart a little lighter. The most recent blog post I read I just loved and was so thankful that Emily put her heart out there. It is not easy being a mom. We are always on 24/7 so there are times when my stay at home job gets me down. I have been so blessed with our 3 little ones and that I am able to stay home, but even I need a time out or down time (mentally and physically) Mommy's get weary at times and Emily did a beautiful job writing about it. Emily's blog site is one of favorite ones to follow. You can read more about "a lesson in losing the weight" at http://jonesdesigncompany.com/thoughts/15479/ . I hope you enjoy reading her post and checking out creative side. Have a great day all you weary mothers!
