I'm blogging

I've thought about starting a blog for over a year now . . . I thought now that I have three kids (one of them a newborn), it seemed like a logical time. . . I have extra time on my hands, right? So, here I sit, typing one-handed while feeding my little guy. The main reason I want to start a blog is so that my family and long-distance friends can see pictures of our kids and read about what is going on in our lives. I have to admit I am a terrible "keep in contact" kind of gal. I used to be so good at it . . . then I had kids. The perfect time to call is after 8pm, but then it's too late in another time zone. Hopefully blogging will be part of the solution. Most of my posts will be scrapbooking related, but I'll throw in some recipes and what's going on in our homeschooling world too. To start things off, here is my first layout with three kids. Seth is six weeks old in these pictures.

This is one of the layouts I did for Green Tangerines using their August kit. This has been my favorite kit! All of their kits are great, but this one was especially fun for me. Maybe it was all the Jillibean Soup paper that was included in the kit--LOVE their stuff!
