While writing a post that was AGAIN a couple days late (or a week or two) I realized that I felt like I had to explain myself or somehow justify why this post was late. How hard is it to write a 400 word post about things I am doing, seeing, experiencing, living every day? I felt guilty that I wasn’t posting things on time and I realized that it shouldn’t be that way. This blog is for family to keep up with our adventures and to document our adventures to look back on in a couple years.

I am trying to get back into the routine of posting regularly, I even have a schedule set out so that maybe I can create the habit of posting 3-4 times a week. The thing is though, this is not my job. My job is to do whatever it is my family needs from me. If that is laying on the floor pretending to chase BB around while she looks at me like I am crazy, so be it. There is no reason I should feel like I have to justify why BB’s weekly update is posted two days before the next one is scheduled.

I am justifying all future late posts now (because if I can promise anything, it’s that there will be many) so that I can get on with sharing our fun adventures and stop feeling guilty that I didn’t share it the day it happened or even the week.

If a post is late, I’m sorry, we were probably playing, working, cleaning, cuddling, exploring, relaxing, or just plain ole living. We are committed to doing everything we can to help you keep up with our family and stay connected with you. We really want to create a regular flow of updates, but the truth is, some weeks we are just so busy that by the time BB goes to bed and I clean up dinner I can hardly wait to fall into bed. Additionally, there are weeks when there simply is nothing going on, or at least it is nothing I feel is worth writing home about. I know I make it seem like we lead a very exciting life, however, there are days that BB and I hang out at home all day and play on the floor and while she naps I catch up on house work. There are even days when we don’t even leave the house.

I am trying to find the balance of over sharing the mundane and keeping you a part of our adventures. I have decided that my priorities were a little confused and that I shouldn’t feel the need to justify why a post is late (I know this is probably all in my head). I hope you will bear with me during the season of our lives where business and life gets in the way. I promise to always post the happenings and to do them in as timely and honest of a manner as possible, however, I am going to make sure that my focus is on enjoying my amazing little family and if that means that a post is late I can handle that.

I hope you find that this is all out of love and I don’t mean this to sound bad in any way shape or form. I appreciate your patience with me as I do enjoy writing and having written memories of our adventures. I hope to get better so that I can have more accurate detailed memories and you can still be a part of our many adventures. I am a work in progress.
