Here We Go Again!

Hello!

I’ve been rethinking my blog, AGAIN!…hence the no blog posts lately, due to not wanting to spend the time writing blog post, uploading pictures, editing pictures and then I read this….

First of all, I love to read blogs and look at posts on Instagram. My “go to” social media is definitely Instagram because I can see a post, read a sentence or two and off to the next picture. When I want more information, I will hit the link and head to the subjects blog to read a more detailed account of the picture. So, when I read an article about how people do not read blog posts anymore, I understand. I even skip long Facebook posts!!

So with that in mind, in the month of May, I am going to do somewhat of a ‘backwards” experiment. Each day, I am going to post only 1-2 pictures on my blog, with a few sentences…just a quick share. I understand that a blog post is for more detailed information and I should be posting these simple ones on Instagram with links…that might be in the works for the future. But, right now, I am working on getting my blog readers up to 15 consistent readers! Including my immediate (the boys) family!

While typing this, I asked Jack if HE read the blog. NOPE. So I bookmarked the link on his desktop on his i-pad. He started to read it, even took it to the restroom with him to catch up on his life happenings.

Congrats to me…up one reader…for now.

PS: I am one that has criticized people for posting their lives on Facebook and making it seem so happy and perfect. Then I think…wow, I have a BLOG about my family! The purpose for this blog was so the boys had a record of their silly childhood stories. The purpose remains the same, but also is going to encompass the family and my crafts and reading, too.

Another thing I am going to do is to try to keep it real (I do try hard to do that at this time.) Believe me, life and life with these boys is rocky, but many of the stories are theirs to share and not for me to share. I always check with the boys before posting about them. No more exaggeration according to Jack!
