Posting Lite

That's the schedule I'm going to be on for the summer. After reading a great post by scribbit a few weeks ago, I've really been pondering my goals for this blog. I've discovered I enjoy blogging, but at this point, I really don't have a focus, and I don't know what direction to take my blog. I've also discovered that during the summer while the kids are home isn't a great time to get serious about blogging. With that in mind, I'm sure I'll post some over the summer, but I probably won't be posting regularly. Watch out though. I'll be back full force in the fall!

From Under the Clutter

This is my 3rd attempt at blogging. Hopefully this time it will stick. The 3rd time is the charm, right? So why did I pick the name "From Under the Clutter"? There are a couple of reasons. On the most basic level, I'm trying to clean up the clutter in my house. It seems like it's a losing battle. There are so many things I'd rather be doing than decluttering my house....playing with the kids, playing on the computer, spending time with my husband...and the list goes on. So the physical clutter in this house is a never ending battle. On a more philosophic level, sometimes I feel like life is cluttered. We moms in America are so busy these days. There are school activities, sports activities, church activities, household responsibilities.....the list is endless. This blog is an attempt for me to look up from underneath the clutter in my life and stop to smell the roses, so to speak. I want to stop and notice things, both the good and the bad. Too often my days fly by with me trying to juggle my different responsibilities, and I never take the time to stop and just be. So here I am, stopping for a moment to take a breath. Refreshing.
