I must admit I never thought I would want to blog about anything. But I've been reading some mom blogs and finding a lot of humor and insight in the little everyday things that go on in the life of a family with children. There are trials and tribulations as well as triumphs along the way that, when shared, can help other moms out there to know they are not alone in this crazy thing called motherhood. So what I write here will just be about the everyday life of myself and my family. And if that intrests or helps just one persone then I will have accomplished my goal.
I have many titles in my life. The most important to me being a wife and mother. I wouldn't say my life is anything to be envious of, but I love it and I think from the outside looking in we look like the perfect little family. Haha. I don't think that exists. I think we are made to believe everything is supposed to be perfect and when it's not, we think we are doing something wrong, or that there is something better out there for us. In reality, we all have our moments. Every family has ups and downs. Every couple has arguments. Every mom thinks she is the worst mom in the world some days. But if you can accept the shortcomings of yourself and those around you and move past them and be happy on a daily basis then you are doing everything right and you can make it through anything. I think the words here are meant for me as much as anyone. They are encouraging me as I write them. :)
I am starting a simple mom project today called 'Project: Simplify' and will be decluttering my closet/wardrobe this week. I might post the pics I take later. We will see how bad they are. But if you'd like to join me, visit http://simplemom.net/project-simplify

So true! It's easy as a mom to "zero in" on all the things we could do "better" instead of finding joy in the moment. And of course, our joy has a tendency to disperse into each family member, thus actually making life "better" : ) Well said!
