Any time I start reading a blog, I always go back to that person’s
very first post. Their first chapter so to say. I constantly found
myself wondering why they started blogging. What made them start to
document an aspect of their lives? Oddly enough, most did not say why,
they just started with a “Hello”.
One blogger’s reason stayed with me for a long time. She started
blogging her day to day life (or more accurately her week to week life)
as a sort of baby book to her kids. Rather than fill out baby books for
all of her Littles, there was now documentary of her children’s lives
in one place that they all will be able to access when they are older.
No house fires, floods, ect, could take away this memory book.
I am worse than my own mother when it comes to my own Littles baby
books. My baby book is still sitting there in it’s plastic wrapper, smelling
like it was just bought yesterday. My mom instead would write little
bits of information and cute stories on scrap pieces of paper and put
them inside the box. There are a few newspaper clippings inside too,
all barely held together with a rubber band, My daughter has a few pages filled
out from that day before her first birthday party when I realized it
had never been cracked open. My son’s has nothing, nada, not even his
name.
So here is it. My reason for starting a blog – memories. And it
might be a good place for anything else my scatterbrained mind might
want to remember…..
