Just do it!

So I'm finally doing it..I'm starting this blog. I've been throwing the idea around for some time now and figured it was a great way to start off the new year. Why you ask? Well let me tell you the
reasons.... ( in no particular order).

1. I want to create a history for Porter and Ruby. My mom is no longer physically with us and I can't count the number of times I wish I could ask her something about my childhood and am unable to....hopefully I'll be kickin' around awhile but if something should happen then this blog will exist for them to have a little snapshot of their histories.

2. I have always secretly fancied myself a bit of a Carrie Bradshaw....if I wasn't teaching I'd love to be a writer, doing any kind of writing, I would even love to write commercials. In my teens I used to think Angela Bower had the best job ever!  My grade 11 teacher ( Mr. Blair Arsenault) once told me I had talent..I never forgot it. Proof again that teachers need to choose their words wisely, kids actually do listen.

3. I hardly ever leave the house. No really, it's true. Days can go by and I realize I haven't left. I'm a mom to two beautiful children, Porter - 2 1/2 years old and Ruby - 2 1/2 months old . If you are a mom you don't need any further explanation, if you are not...it's a lot of work to leave the house, especially in the winter, so more often than not, it's just easier to stay home. So my point, this may be only my form of entertainment for days!

4. This one is important...this past summer we stepped out of denial for a day and took our son Porter to the doctor where we were told what we already knew...that most likely Porter has autism( we are still on the waiting list for an official diagnosis). That day and the days ahead will be the subject of many future posts , but for now it is a huge reason why I want to start this blog. It will be a great way to share all of his progress with everyone.

5.  Lastly, I have heard writing a blog is like therapy. I don't have much time just for me, but I am vowing to write at least twice a week. Here's hoping it cures my craziness!

So, Happy New Year, thank you for reading...that is if I have actually found the nerve to tell someone about this blog:) My face is red just thinking about that.....
