Blog Changes

Yes I changed my blog around, just a little bit. I know that to many of you this might seem silly, or slightly unncessary. But I have my reasons.

#1. Safety. I'm a stickler for safety. Before I had children, I was never afraid of anything. I could jump off a diving board (just the 1meter but still!), ride in a car without a seatbelt, speed, eat burning hot food, even jay walk! Yes I used to be a jay walker, that's one more thing you now know about me. However, ever since I took on the worlds greatest job of being a mom, I've been seeing danger in everything! I just can't help it. I look at a stair well and I see my children plummeting to their deaths. I see a pool and I imagine them drowning. Speeding cars, crashes, even open windows! Yes I may seem a little extreme, dramatic, over imaginiative, or what-have-you, but I'm stuck on the old saying "better safe than sorry". We have the safest car seats on the market, the safest car, the safest sippy cups, the safest flame retardant pajamas. You name it, we have it. Kids running with scissors, that doesn't happen at our house. Even the talk of something sharp sends me the image of vast quantities of blood squirting everywhere.

#2. Change. I needed a change. I love change. Well, let's be fair, some change. Big change I don't mind, moving, renovations, big hair cuts. But my kids, they're a little less flexible. For small children, safety comes in the framiliar. So in our family, big changes, like new babies, have found us with vastly regressing toddlers. Baby talk, re-diapering, not sleeping, weight loss and often illness. So when our family deals with a big change, I get the short end of the stick and have to pick up the pieces in the every day. So no, big change with kids, not fun. But this, my blog, something just for me, I can change.

#3. I wanted to do something more. I started this blog so that I could start writting again. Well I didn't really get the results that I was hoping for. I live a great life, and I have a great network of famiy and friends, and good people all around me. I want to write more! More about me, my life, the things that I love the most (I'll give you a guess as to who and what they are), and my experiances in the day to day with them. So I've decided to step it up a notch, take a new spin on things and actually start writting in my blog. I know, craaaaazy!! But I'm excited. So here's to a fresh start, at least within the boundaries of my blog. Who knows, exciting things might happen :)
