welcome me!

i have this really terrible habit of wasting away monkey's napping hours, stalking blogs and secretly wishing i'd get off my lazy butt and start my own. so here i am. i've mostly started this blog because my attempts at consistently updating my paper journals (plural because i've started TONS!) have been oh so futile. since i daily (ahem... who am i kidding? hourly? bi-hourly? tri-hourly?) stalk various blogs, the logic is that i'd update mine consistently. hahaha. oh yeah... btw... no, i will not share the blogs i obsess over. it's like going on national TV and having someone put a camera in your mouth. it's private! ok really though... a big reason i'd like to dole out some thoughts in writing is so that i can perhaps share with my offspring in the future. just random thoughts about mundane things that happened in our household at particular times and seasons of life. or just some pictures and maybe even an accompanying one word caption if i'm feeling particularly ambitious that day. lastly, i've heard that to have a good blog, it should be well-focused. ha! i couldn't care less. yes, it's true... the 2 earthly things i'm most passionate about are being my husband's wife and monkey's mama. but i have other interests too. like making bucket lists, finally having discovered the cleaning properties of vinegar, cluttering my garage with "projects" that "i'm going to get to" and the importance of being honest. so more than a "good" blog, i just want an honest one.

so here goes.
