A beautiful day to start something new.

I've decided to start this blog for a number of reasons. One being that I've been following blogs of a few friends of mine for quite some time now and I thoroughly enjoy them and recognize the value in using it as a way to keep in touch and up to date. With family quite literally on the opposite side of the world (kia ora!) I thought it would be a great way for them to feel closer and more connected to our little family. I also see it as a way of documenting the precious time I have with my girls. Though I may have the best of intentions when it comes to organizing the hundreds of digital photos we've taken, getting those photos printed and into baby books and albums, writing down milestones and funny moments, it often gets lost in the shuffle of daily life and put off indefinately. I am a busy mom trying to (somewhat desperately) manage a household and also get my business up and running after all! (If only there were about 6 more hours in a day!). I do, however, always manage to find the time to sit down at the computer and check my email and the few other little things I like to keep up with so I thought this might be a good alternative.

Now, if only I could get a start on those scrapbooks...
