I don't write a lot with my blog posts because
a.) I don't have a lot of time to write these days and if I am going to write, I'm going to get paid for it (or so I hope)
b.) I don't usually feel like it and
c.) I am trying to keep it real and don't want things to come off as too miserable or too perfect and it seems like most blogs fall into one category or the other. (Although not any of your blogs).
So I typically keep it to pictures. However, I love to read other people's blogs. And on one of my favorite blogs I happened across this disclaimer and LOVED it:
"I will also remind you this a BLOG, this is NOT real life. We don't sit around craft, bake and smile for pictures all day long. We do strive to glorify God but we fail miserably and find comfort in knowing that our debts have been paid and we have been set free."
That's more like it.

I love that saying, it's so true!
Yes--love it. I sometimes hate blogs because they make me feel like I am up to no good or not good enough. Take for instance potty training. Lucy is NOT potty trained and we as of now are not working on it. But I see on peoples blogs that their kids the same age are totally potty trained and have been for a while. Oh well--she is not ready and that is it.
Good disclaimer - it's so true. Blogs are either too perfect or everything is hell. I'm all about the the real life.
I love that, however my life is perfect and I do sit around all day just doing cute things, and then taking pictures of them. Just kidding. It is nice to know that I am just like everyone else, because sometimes the blogging thing can become a little much. Anyway thanks for your comment, I am doing really well. I am ready to meet this little growing person, and I have had some interesting issues this pregnancy,(not close to yours) but all is well.
I love this Nat! Thanks for that.
great quote. so very true.
Love it. I've struggled with that with my blog, wondering if I keep it real or if it's too positive or too negative or are people going to think such and such and I finally asked Beau and he's like "it's your blog, write whatever you want...if people want to read it they can and however they choose to feel after reading it is their choice." I feel much better now. I'm writing it for me, not for other people, and whatever I want to record for myself and for my kids someday I am going to without worrying what anyone who might read it might think. I'm putting it in a book and it was really fun to go back and see what I wrote. I stink at keeping a journal and I had already forgotten half of what I wrote (if not more) when Alyssa was a baby. So, don't worry what others might think or how you may come off on your blog. After all, it's YOUR blog! Record what you want to remember because you will forget sooner than you wanted to! :)
