My First Blog Post EVER!

So, after at least 10 "created" posts (none of which have been "published"), Googling "What should my first blog say," and pondering for.... a long time, as to how/When/WHAT my first blog would say, HERE is my introduction to blogging.... maybe.... if it get's "published" this time ; )

I keep asking myself, "Why am I blogging?"..."What do I want to say?"..."Why waste another hour of my life on the internet each day (or week or month) which I can already do so easily?"

Well.... Isn't it in the contract for every stay-at-home-mom to Blog?  (Just kidding!)

But seriously, why?

Well. As I go about my day, parenting, cleaning, cooking, thinking, I often think of things that I want to share. I figure another mom might like to try something, or hear something funny, or just have a moment to relate, and originally, it was an idea of a good way to stay in touch with my family. Ah, finally, I remember!

It's about family.

Biological Family. Friends Family. Faith Family. Moms Family.

fam·i·ly

   [fam-uh-lee, fam-lee] noun,plural fam·i·lies

1.

a.

a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not: the traditional family.

b.

a social unit consisting of one or more adults together with the children they care for: a single-parent family.

2.

the children of one person or one couple collectively: We want a large family.

3.

the spouse and children of one person: We're taking the family on vacation next week.

4.

any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins: to marry into a socially prominent family.

5.

all those persons considered as descendants of a common progenitor.

There we have it... "descendants of a common progenitor" (hah, now I get to look up another word)

It's about commonality. Relating. Connecting. So, from my end of the world, this is my way of sharing!
