First Year, Top Ten

Woo Hoo!
Exactly one year ago from today, I started blogging. 

And, why do I blog?

I know that I never want to forget what I love about my children. I never want to forget the things that make us smile, the things that make us laugh. I never want to forget the things that amaze us, that leave us in awe. I never want to forget the big things or the little things.


I never want to forget.


I want to remember as much as I can about my children growing up. I know when you love someone so much and they are so deeply a part of your being and soul, you think that you will never forget. Well, as the years go on and we grow and change, and our lives get busier, those ‘memories’ that I don’t ever want to forget may start slowing slipping away.


I’m not going to allow that to happen.


I have been and will continue to use this blog as a space to document all of those ‘things’ and ‘stories’ that I don’t ever want to forget. This blog will be a gift to Kevin and myself and to our children one day. How neat it will be to print into a book all of the posts from the day we started this until the day we end - filled with pictures and comments. I think that’s something to treasure and definitely something my kids will love.


So, when I write about things like Makayla saying “boobies” for blue berries and Mason struggling with the pain of his first tooth coming in - those stories may not seem important, but they are a big deal to us.


Those stories are our life - it’s what make us who we are. It’s the memories I never want to forget.
So, without further ado, I'd like to share with you the top 10 blogs/posts of our first year.  The most read posts by you, our readers.  Thank you.

Enjoy!
