Well folks I can't believe that I am doing this but I have started a private blog that will now act as our family Journal.
Honestly I never wanted to make my blog private (I am still not doing it 100%, I will now have two different blogs). I am not a big fan of the added hassle of a private blog and I don't really trust "private" blogs anymore than regular blogs since a hacker is a hacker and they can basically get into anything that they want. So I have always just tried to not share too much personal information on my public one.
But as time has gone on I have been wanting to write more and more details of our lives and about our children to have for the future. Yet I have started to not feel very comfortable with sharing so much and I feel I need to be more cautious. So I brainstormed a few options, but I just love the way blogger is set up and is really simple to use (For non computer geeks like me). I also love that a blog is a really easy way for grandparents and family to see how we are doing without me having to email each one individually (since we all know I would probably never actually do it). I realize that what I have already shared is out there for good, but we are going to try and move forward and do better. :)
Many of you probably have other ways that you keep a family record, such as a scrapbook for your kids and such, but for me this is it so I NEED to keep doing it or we will just end up with a bunch of pictures stored on our computer and no story to tell. This new blog will be our family journal/scrapbook/history. It will be fairly detailed about the happenings of our lives and may get slightly boring to the outside world, but if you want to follow along we would love to have you. :)
Please leave your email in the comments section here and I will add you. Or send me an email at mckayandkajsa@gmail.com or send me a message on Facebook, or text me, or call me, or (you get the picture) Honestly don't be shy if I have ever known you (past lives, cities, school, etc.) I would love for you to stay in touch with our family so please give me your email!
As for this blog... Stick around (well if you want to). I will still be posting here often with this or that. Probably mostly things that other moms and women can relate to, not really sure exactly, but I am not giving up on it yet. Some pictures of the kids will still show up here and a few things from our lives, just in case you aren't into the whole private blog thing like me. So that is that. Thanks for reading and commenting this blog has been a great outlet for me as I navigate my way through marriage and motherhood. Have a great day!
