Good morning, this is my first attempt at a blog so I hope you bare with me while I learn how to make my way through this.

As a family we have decided to create a blog, not only to share with others but to also serve as a journal of sorts that we can look back on and laugh about all the crazy things that occur in this family and the choices we make each day to find some happy.

We are a blended family of 7, five children, two adults, one great dane, one ragdoll kitten, and endless amounts of daycare children coming in and out each and every day. Needless to say we are busy every day, every moment and we have learned that we need to make more time for the fun in life and less time for the obligations. 

I don't want the impression to be that we are generally unhappy, just that we believe there is more laughter to be found, more fun to be had, more memories to be made that will last us through the time we have in this short, precious life we all love.

So here is our journey, maybe it will make you laugh, or cry. Maybe it will help you stop and enjoy the noise and see the beauty in the dirty dishes. If you hate it, well, that is ok too.

Enjoy!
