600th post. wow!

as i went to write today's post, i noticed that it would be my 600th post.

way to go em.

600 times i've sat down to write a little something.

this is a proud accomplishment for me, as i tend to be the type of personality who begins things, but rarely finishes them.

so, to have kept up with a blog for 3 full years, is quite fabulous.

3 years of our lives that are now documented.

i get asked the following few questions nearly all the time...so, i will answer them here.

so, why do i write a blog?

so that we always have something to look back on {i get my blog printed into a book too---1 for every year}.

it's a great way to record all the little moments...that i would most definitely forget, otherwise.

how do i have time to write a blog?

i use nap time to write and schedule my posts. 

do i ever run out of things to say or post about?

have you met me in person?  i never run out of words.

and have you  met my kids?  they are always doing something post-worthy.

is it overwhelming to blog 5 days a week?

no. 

and i'll tell you a little secret about how blogging became fun for me.  i stopped blogging "events"...but decided i would rather blog "moments".

it's like scrap booking.  i couldn't move forward unless i scrapped about christmas {or insert whatever holiday/event that is holding you back from moving forward}.  but, i was never in the mood to scrap christmas, so i just kept getting farther and farther behind.

same thing with my blog.

finally i decided "who cares if i post about christmas".

i don't need to post oodles and oodles of pictures of my kids under the christmas tree.  now i just post moments.  so, maybe that one present that milo really wanted?  maybe i post about that.

whatever.

it just makes blogging much more simpler.

and i'm good with that.

so, thanks for reading this little blog about our family.  it's been fun to watch this blog grow...and so much of it has to do with elsa, this i'm sure. 

thank you for all of the nice and encouraging comments and emails you send me---they really mean so much.

{oh and if you're wondering, i do get the occasional fun emails too (and by fun, i mean rude).}  the delete button is my friend.

so, thankfully the good outweighs the bad...

here's to 600 more posts!

{i'm pretty sure mr. anderson just rolled his eyes at that comment}

happy weekend ya'll.
