I was talking to someone recently, who commented on how much they enjoy my blog. I said that I love it too- its a great way to hold onto memories- I already enjoy looking back and seeing all the cute stories and anecdotes!
But beyond that, I've found that the blog helps me see things in the right perspective. I am always on the lookout for good blog material- so I make sure to make mental notes of cute things that happen!
Here's one case:
A few weeks ago, I was upstairs changing the baby when I heard crashing noises. It sounded like silverware hitting the stone floor- Azriel Shraga enjoys doing that sometimes. But the noise didn't stop...so I ran downstairs, and saw the following mess
Yikes! Instead of just throwing down the fleishig silverware, my darling children had emptied out every last piece of silverware in the house! Milchig, fleishig, Shabbos... plus all my parve utensils too!
Of course my first instinct was to scream at them...but then, before I did, the following thought popped into my mind- "this would make a real funny blog post....and you know what, in a few years, you'll just look back at it and laugh...so why get upset!" So of course I ran to get my camera, and the kids looked at me a bit puzzled..."Mommy, we're not getting a punishment?!"
So thank you, my dear readers, for helping me maintain a positive perspective!
