Phew.

This is probably like, my 19th blog. The rest have all been abandoned. I'd try to be witty, crafty, smart...perfect. Basically all things I'm really not. I mean, yeah, I can be witty, and yeah, I have a little crafty bone. However, when things didn't look perfect or I didn't have something jaw dropping to post, I'd avoid it. My blogs became a chore.


I'm really really gonna try NOT doing that this time.

Because if there is one thing life has taught me the past few years, it's that nobody is perfect. Sure, lots of other women may seem perfect, but we're only getting their highlight reel. What if we were to see the full, unedited version? It'd probably look a lot less intimidating and a heck of a lot more normal. Maybe even comforting...to know that there are other total wieners like us.

Jami Nato, the author of this blog, often talks about how us Moms need to blog. To preserve the day to day memories. To document the little things we do for our kids and our family...so that one day, they can look back and know how much we cared; how much effort and love went into building the lives we all live.

I think that is so important. Toats important, as my friend Crystal and I would say (even though we know it's obnoxious).

So, a-blogging-I-go, yet again. Except this time, I'm going to make a real effort to quit the I'm Perfect charade. My family is quite perfect because of the loads of imperfection going on up in here.
