Why do i do this?
To be quite honest, to document. To document the days that seem to fly by when children are busy putting fingerprints on everything and i try to wipe them off just as fast. Days that seem to be a chore more than any and to learn to take each day slower... I want to be able to look into my post and see that somewhere in all the craziness that surrounds me, i have sincere and true blessings in my life that sometimes are unseen to the personal eye.
I want to document the feelings and emotions that go through childhood, raising them and learning from them, as well as teaching them... I want to be able to look back and tell my children, why i did the things i did in raising them and to help them when they are bigger and ask me, because someday i wont remember why i did or didn't do something that happened 20 years ago.. You never know. I want a piece of how to help my children in their lives and hopefully help someone else. I continually get asked and questioned about how i do certain things or why i do them and i usually have an answer. I don't want to forget that. I want to share the way i do things as a mom, because as a mom, we ALWAYS have questions... That will never stop.
I want to show my parenting style to other moms or dads out there, both succeeding or struggling in their own struggles. I try to learn something new every day and most days, my children are the ones who teach me. I don't want all that useful knowledge to go to waste now do we! ;) I also want to gain a way of finding out and hearing out opinions from other moms who do the same thing as me.. search, ponder, wonder, seek and pray. I want strong and knowledgeable women to help guide me in my struggles and learn from what i have as well. I find it much easier to get truthful opinions from others who are not so close to you. Someone who isn't scared of telling you "how it may be" or "what they think". I have a passion for honesty like no other. Nothing is so bad that you cannot tell me. I forever will instill that into my children. No matter the case. I am here learning just as they are and I will always be striving to keep it that way.
I love my children and my husband and wish that some things i could scream to the high heavens and every soul would hear. others i wish i could whisper into someones ear and they could "just get it".
That is why i do the things i do.
Heather.
