This is me.

A typical scene at our place. Reality.

I've thought about my wee blogging dilemma. I've weighed up the pros and cons of it all, and tried to dig deep and figure out quite why it is that I blog, and who I blog for. I've come to a bit of a decision.

This is me.
(That was my conclusion.)

I write my blog mostly for myself, but I'd be kidding myself if I didn't acknowledge that I love and appreciate the reassurance that your comments bring me. It really just wouldn't be the same without you guys. I like that my blog enables my friends and family to keep up with what we're up to. I love that it gives me something to reflect back on. I love the thought that it might maybe inspire someone, somewhere, sometimes.

I thought about your suggestions. I considered making it less about the kids, more about the sewing. I thought about toning it down a little - but I just can't. I need to come to terms with the fact that I'm just someone who likes to have my life out there for the world to see, and, in doing that, I need to accept that I can't pick and choose who sees it. (Obviously, what a dork for feeling like I could!).

So, here's the deal: I'm sticking around. I'm still going to bombard you with a million pictures of my cute kids and write about our life, and my day-to-day ramblings.
I have a favour to ask though; If you do like to read along, if you pop in every now and then, I'd love it if you'd say 'Hi!'. It would make me feel an awful lot better about babbling on if I knew who I was babbling on to. Mmhmm.
