And we're off...

I have gone back and forth about starting a blog. Will anyone read it? Do I have enough to say/share? Will I keep it up and add to it regularly? (There is nothing worse than checking up on a blog that hasn't been updated in a LONG time...I won't mention any names!) I am addicted to reading other people's blogs, so I figured I should let them in on what is going on in our family. And of course I couldn't start blogging until I had a catchy name for it!!

Many friends tell me that is it therapeutic. I am not good at keeping in touch with regular phone calls. Since we have family spread out all over...I won't have to constantly send out emails with large attachments of pictures. We'll see how it all works out.

I am going to try and not use names...for privacy reasons. I am Mama Bird (thanks to my favorite GFCF mom), Scooter (who got this nickname from a friend of mine), Jewel (because she loves jewelry, high heels, and handbags...sorry, Scooter), and Bubba (which is what we have always called him). Hopefully this won't be too confusing and I won't slip up!! :)

As we go along, I hope to figure this blogging thing out. Please feel free to send tips, helpful suggestions and constructive criticisms. I am going to ask my friend, Dove Whisperer, for her blogging cheat sheets.

Love, Mama
