SLOW DOWN TIME!

So, this year I decided it was time that I "got with the times" and started my own blog. I've wanted to do this for a while, but life kept getting in the way...as it always does.

This morning I was forced to because I was trying to "pin" something on Pinterest from my desktop, but it wasn't allowing me. Thus, here I am.

I know I have a lot to learn, and likely there will be BIG gaps between my postings. BUT, I'm excited to use this as a way to keep up a bit with the hectic pace of life and keep track of what happens in my family because it seems the next month I often can't remember the last month's events.

This year my eldest turns 18, and that's making me realize how fast time is going. All those little moments that I've forgotten...why didn't I continue to document them each day like I did for the first 3 years of his life?

And, this weekend, my baby turns double digits!! I want to be able to go back and say, I remember that because I have it documented. I also started a photo of the day for this year...I tried last year but only made it through the first 2 months.

So, today, I'm preparing for my baby's 10th birthday. I feel blessed, and so grateful to my Lord, for the gifts of my children, but BOY do I wish I could SLOW DOWN TIME!

This is his birthday party invitation. I found the idea on pinterest, and could have ordered them from the site but my Dutch genes came out, as they often do. I knew I could make something similar on my scrapbooking program without paying the high costs, and feel a whole lot better about it. I love how it turned out:
