Back into the Blogging World

So I'm thinking about getting back into the blogging world.  I don't know exactly what that entales (entails?) just yet.  But it's been a lingering thought for a short while now and I am learning through Bible Study that "random" thoughts are not so random, and thoughts that keep coming back should probably be listened to.  SOOO.  After much searching, I found my old blog and even successfully logged in (clearly, as I am posting - duh).

So, as I let the thought of publishing my random thoughts to the world wide web, I am pondering, 1) What could I possibly have to say that would be able to benefit someone else?  2) Should I start a brand new blog?  3) Should this blog be about me, what I'm learning as I go through life, more about the kids (as it previously had been), or what?

I attempted a new blog about a year ago - the intention was the chronicle (not sure that's the word I really want to use, but I digress) my Pinterest attempts.  Now, there are lots of blogs out there (Pinstrosity, for one) that feature people's failed attempts at creating items they find on Pinterest.  I don't want to recreate the wheel.  I'm also not good at documenting myself.  That blog has sat dormant for, like I said, about a year, with a whopping 2 posts.  Lame.  I know.

I do chronicle a lot of life via Facebook.  But I don't think I can print that.  I'm thinking it might be nice to be able to print out blog posts some day and let the kids read about our escapades.  Cuz I'm clearly on the ball with the scrapbooking (has it been mentioned that the 8 year old boy still does not have a baby book?  Yeah).  While I have successfully organized all the kids papers and pictures and artsy creations since PreSchool into folders and file organizers....I have yet to get out the tape runner and actually apply it to anything.

I have lots of projects pinned on Pinterest and a beautiful craft room waiting for me to come make something.  And yet, the siren call of the couch is so alluring....

I haven't been sleeping well - and I think I use that as a crutch for days when I accomplish next to nothing (I do get dressed - so that's something).

I see I have been all over the board with just this post.  Perhaps a little organization is in order, eh?  I will see what I can work up over the weekend.  Until then, if you have any brilliant ideas......
