What is my goal with this blog? Originally January 4, 2008

(Taken from Wordpress Blog as I've decided to switch to Blogger and am transferring my 2008 entries)

I have really given this a lot of thought today b/c I want to make sure this blog has a “purpose” but one that is most useful to me! Here are the things I hope to accomplish with this blog…

To keep a running “journal” of sorts and leave a legacy for myself, my family and friends. I would like this site to be somewhere where my children can go to learn about their mother’s thoughts and life and get another glimpse of who I really am (not just who I play on TV). Let’s face it - I’m too lazy to get the pen and paper out to keep a “real” journal and I type faster than I write so here we are.

To have a place to show my crafty side - to post projects and tutorials for all my SU girls where they can come for some inspiration and some good ideas. This is a great way for me to stay motivated with creating and to keep a great record of my latest and great works of art (humble, I know).

I’d also like to use it for good ideas, websites, links to articles…just a general stomping ground for my thoughts. I’d like to be able to use this site as a constant reference for my own personal use.
I would also like to post pictures of my family and our going-ons for those loved ones that are far away and can’t share in our life everyday…this might be a conflict of interest from those that like to see the stamping and such but…I personally don’t think so. I am always most interested in those stamping sites where I get to see the personality of the designer, not just their creations. To me, it gives more life to their work and helps me really see it come to life. I may be alone in that train of thought but I don’t think so. I have gotten so many interesting ideas and inspiration from some of the background stories on blogs which I frequent. I don’t think my life is necessarily that interesting but it’s my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So I guess that sums up the reasons why I’d like to blog.

I’ll have to give more thought to my Part Two of my Goals b/c I need to do some Parenting Goals and Work Goals. Perhaps some Marriage & Family Goals as well…those are the ones where I will give the most thought b/c they are the ones that I hold closest to my heart. Not to say Fitness is not close to my heart but…hell, who am I kidding! It’s not close to my heart at all! It’s just a necessary evil.

Anyway, off to a morning at the spa tomorrow with Linda & Jen to celebrate Baby Eli’s arrival any day now. Ahhh…life is tough. And Lord knows that I need a massage something awful. Congratulations to Candace on her baby’s arrival today as well! Can’t wait to see the pictures of the newest little ADPi legacy.
Until then…
