This is it...the First Post

For the last couple of months I have been reading blogs, more specifically, Catholic mom blogs.  I ‘discovered’ these blogs by accident.  I was on the Catholicmom.com website which I visit every Sunday for the Gospel activities that I use for my religious education class.  Anyway, there was an interesting article which led me here to Lori’s blog.  From there, I found Jen at Conversion Diary which caught my attention because I am also a covert (although not from atheism).  And then it just snowballed when I started reading other bloggers that link up with Jen for the ‘7 Quick Takes Friday’.  Since then I have been hanging out with Grace at Camp Patton, Kelly at This Ain’t the Lyceum, and Dweeja at House Unseen, Life Unscripted to name a few.  There are several other blogs that I check in on when I can. (I will post links to others in the near future) Anyway, I never knew how amazing reading blogs could be. I have found tremendous strength spiritually and emotionally through these ladies. (plus, you just can’t beat the comic relief J)  I feel like I have new friends, but to really be friends, I need to be able to share my life too.  So I have decided I would try this blogging business.  (By the way, thanks so much Dweeja for the timely 7QTF post about why I should be blogging).  So this is it, the first one and we will see how dedicated I can be with this.

 

Probably the biggest disclaimer I need to put out there is - I am not a writer.  There are some fantastic bloggers out there who are incredible writers; I am not going to be one of them.  If I can simply get some thoughts and some photos posted from time to time, I will be happy with that.  And I apologize in advance for any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors you may encounter should you choose to read my blog.
