Day 12: why do I have a blog?

I found out about blogs..... let's see... 3 years ago? Hmmm, having a hard time remembering who inspired me back then. I think it was my friend Carine. I'm pretty sure that her blog was the first I ever read. Carine, is that right? She was also the one to introduce me to FB (even though I resisted for a long time), so Carine wins the award for being the most persuasive :)))

Why did I start a blog? Originally, it was because blogging was something new and I liked the idea of putting my pictures and the stories together in one place. I tried it a few times and felt the creative juices flowing. It all snowballed from there :)

Now the main reason for blogging is to preserve the memories that I have. Blogging replaces journaling for me. I really want my kids to be able to read about their childhood when they grow up. I want them to see the pictures, the progression, the growth, and to remember all the precious moments we've spent together as a family.
