Why a blog?

So forever everyone kept asking me if I had a blog. I would say no because I don't live far away from most of my family and so I don't think anyone would really like to look at it. Plus, with two little kids I feel like I can hardly find the time to do anything like this. But then one day (with my sister-in-laws help) I had a break-through. I kept thinking, "man, I need to be keeping a journal for both of my two little girls, I'm missing out on so many moments, and I need to write more often in my own journal." Then it hit me, with a blog I could actually be saving myself time. Instead of having to write in all three journals, I could just do a family journal (a.k.a. a blog). So here I am. My plan is to make a hard copy every year to keep in the family bookcase. I think my kids will really enjoy reading the stories about themselves and it might even be better than a journal because it will have pictures. And obviously a lot less time than scrapbooking. However, I am giving the warning now, that I am treating this like a journal and that there will be a lot of grammatical errors and rambling.
