New Idea

So I am not a big fan of New Year's Resolutions, but this year something really stuck out to me that I wanted to try. 

I have heard often  "you have such a happy family", "I love your pictures on Facebook, you look so happy and put together!"  

Yes, most of the days I feel very happy and blessed with the wonderful life the Lord has blessed me with, but guess what?  

I do not take pictures of Jovee throwing temper-tantrums, or when CJ won't sleep and just cries in my arms at 2 in the morning, or when Norris and I have a disagreement and I feel like throwing the remote control!!!! 

Those moments come and go, but I am not stopping to take a picture.  

I have taken a 2 week break from Facebook, not because I really wanted to, but because we were visiting family.  And it has been nice.  Even though I am sooooooo happy with my life, it is still hard to not compare with other people on facebook, when their life seems perfect!  

So Norris and I have decided that for our New Year's Resolution, we are going to take a picture at 6:30/7 pm every night.  No matter what is going on.  Whether we are eating dinner peacefully while watching Wheel of Fortune, or our house is a mess and dinner is far from being ready and the kiddos are getting cranky!!

Plus  I think it will be fun to have a photo blog of the year, good and bad!!!

Here is the first one!



Today was a great day!  CJ was clean from a bath, Daddy was doing the dishes and Jovee was taking a bath with Nana!!!
