2012: the year of more posts?

I am not a new year's resolution kind of girl.

That being said, I have decided that I really MUST blog more in 2012. My kids are growing up, and I am growing older. You know what that means? I can no longer remember every detail of their lives. And the only way I can give myself a fighting chance of savouring the moments is to write about them, to document them, to photograph them. And I hate scrapbooking.

Let me repeat: I HATE scrapbooking.

You Creative Memories gals, I tip my hat to you. I think it is wonderful that you look forward to your "all day crops". But when I hear the phrase or receive the invite to participate, I cringe. I feel overwhelmed. I am way too behind to even begin books for my boys. My photos (sadly and carelessly) are mostly saved on computer files. The perfectionist in me will not allow me to just throw something together, though I wish it would. And the cost of having all of those photos printed at once is so astromical that I just don't want to do it, even if I can afford it. So, a blog is the easiest, most time efficient way to document their lives. And a blog won't burn in a fire nor need to be preserved.

So....here we go, 2012. I am going to do a better job of documenting my family's life this year. I hope. And if not, well then that likely means that I was too busy living to take the time to write about it.

And I'm okay with that.

Happy new year, friends and family. May the coming year be our best yet!
