Back At It ... I hope!


OK, so it has been over a year and a half since my last post. I know, I am not an excellent blogger... or even a good one... or even one at all since I don't ever blog! But in my head, I am an AWESOME, intelligent, humorous, and incredibly modest blogger, so I have decided that this summer I am going to jump back into the swing of things (regardless of whether anyone reads this or not), mostly because I want to document our lives as young, working parents of TWO kids. That's right, I said TWO kids because I am due with baby #2 in just four short weeks.

My thoughts about blogging are to sort of create a template for my posts. I like the way some blogs operate where each day of the week has a different theme. However, let's not lie to ourselves... the odds of me actually committing to this are slim (based on past blogging efforts and failures). Yet I have an iPhone now and it seems like Blogger is 10x better on the iPhone than it was on my old Droid. So I have some hope for myself in addition to the DESIRE I have to become a regular and successful blogger. Therefore, I am going to attempt the following themes FIVE days a week, cutting myself two days slack. If I have something to say on the off days, then I will blog at that time. If I don't, then I won't. It's that simple, or possibly complex. After all, I have failed every time I've tried so far.

Please try to keep me motivated IF you actually enjoy reading my blog. I admire people who even have the time to read blogs, as I personally do not. Therefore I guess I can only count on one person in this process, and that is myself. Now that I know that you can actually PRINT blog books from your blog, I feel convicted to give it one final push. Wouldn't it be awesome (and costly) to make a blog book? I think so! I try to journal periodically to our kids, but typing is just faster. So maybe no one is reading this in today's world, but perhaps I'll leave a little something for the next generation. That would be pretty darn cool.

New Tentative Blogging Schedule - Let me know your thoughts... if you are out there.

Mondays = "Mama's Day" (What's going on in the lackluster life of Lavender.)

Tuesdays = "Techie Tuesdays" (Since according to my Facebook posts and responses, some people seem to be interested in some of the technology I use at work and at home.)

Wednesdays = "What's Up with Will" and "What I Wonder" - (Featuring TWO themes, the first about William's growth and development and the second a short final thought that will allow you to get into the deepest and darkest recesses of my metacognitive mind.)
Thursdays = "The Little One" (Updates on the growth and development of Baby Krupp #2)

Fridays = "OFF DAY" ... or "Top Five" (Random top five lists for our family in that exact moment.)

Saturdays = "OFF DAY"

Sunday = "The Sunday Summary" (A loose title that will potentially encompass anything new and/or exciting in our family's life for the week, including detailed descriptions of laundry and diaper duty.)
