Blogging

I've been contemplating on starting a blog for a couple of months now, but where do you start? Especially when your kids are not babies anymore, I can't blog about their first day home from the hospital, their first smile, their first words, or their first birthday (when we just celebrated Haley's 4th and soon Maddy's 7th). So where do I start? Yesterday morning I went in the girls room to straighten up (my daily ritual) when I could barely close their drawers because of too many clothes (a problem with girls), so it was time to weed out the clothes...again. This is something I dread doing because it is a process physically and emotionally. First off you have to pull all the clothes out, refold, decide what to keep for hand me downs, what to donate, and lastly you have to let go. And when I say let go its not the clothes, its the memories that go with the clothes, its the favorite shirt that Maddy would wear over and over again when she has many more to choose from, its the Elmo underwear that Haley had to have when she was in love with Elmo and now she would prefer Hannah Montana (how sad at 4), and finally the hand me downs that have gone from Maddy to Haley that I now have to let go of because there is no one else to hand them down to. The whole process is such an "in your face" reality check that your kids are growing up and that we can't freeze time and keep them little forever, its a reminder to live in the moment because we wont get these moments back will only have the memories. So where in our lives do we start blogging? I will start it with the everyday moments that will eventually be just a memory, the days that we will look back to and say remember when...?
