Let's get this straight from the beginning.
I'm not a writer.
So, what is motivating me to begin a blog, featuring myself as the main writer? Here are my thoughts:
1. My sister Tiffany began a blog this year about her daily life. I love reading it on a daily basis and seeing the daily occurrences in her family. (I especially love reading about my adorable little nephew!)
2. I am considering adding blogging to the Effective Writing class that I teach at school. I always feel that in order to instruct a skill, I should attempt and understand that skill better. Today's students will better utilize the skill of blogging. I thought thematic blogging would be fun for them to try.
3. I haven't written in a long -- very long--- time. I think that sometime after my junior year in college where I had 7 English classes all year, I began boycotting official writing. My ideas and hands were weary. I would love to give it another try!
Do those reasons qualify me for my own blog? I don't think so, but I'll try my best to offer something entertaining. Our life with three boys is rarely boring, so I imagine that there will be much fodder in my life to comprise a daily post.
So, let's sit back and enjoy the ride!!

What do you mean you're not a writer?! That first post was great! :)
I'm so SO excited you decided to blog. I wish all of my family members blogged. There is no better way to learn about people and their lives than reading a blog (well, except for talking in person, which we don't have the luxury of doing).
I can't wait to read your stuff. Congrats on embarking upon this journey! :)
Hey, Jen--this is fabulous! Maybe I will try one too, although you saw my list...Anyway, I am excited about the prospect of using this with Effective. How cool! Have Fun!
