Top Ten Reasons to Start a Blog

10 - Allyson will stop bothering me to start one

9- Raquel will get her wish to see more pictures of her two 'favorite' nieces

8-I won't be guilt stricken in my old age with all the memories that I didn't record for my children and lets face it, by the time I think to record it in my journal I've forgotten what it is I wanted to write down.

7-Maybe it will motivate me to take more pictures so that once again I won't be stricken with guilt in my old age

6-My friend Becky told me about things books you can make from your blog which sounds like a great way to preserve memories

5-Sometimes Emily will do the funniest things and I think, this would make a great blog post.

4-I'm feeling compelled to contribute to the blogging world. I started reading friends and family blogs after Jane was born. She was so fussy in the evenings and would not allow me to set her down so I started reading blogs on the internet because it is something you can do one handed. Thanks to all my blogging friends for the stress relief!

3-I finally took the plunge and bought myself my own computer. I was nervous that I was going to waste a bunch of money (the topic of how much is not discussed in my house) and not be able to run the programs right. I thought I was technologically retarded (TR) because I couldn't load pictures from my camera to Bart's computer. Turns out I'm not so (TR) but it was Bart's computer all along. I love my new Mac and iphoto!

2- Emily loves seeing pictures of herself on the internet. One more thing I can do to keep her brain stimulated. A constant challenge I face.

1- I'm so proud of Bart and my creation of The Sweetest "Bartlette" Pair (Emily and Jane) what better reason do I need.
