Welcome to my new blog

To tell you the truth, I have no idea why I'm creating this blog, or what it will even be about!  I used to love to write and keep blogs and journals. Becoming a mom, you can either fight to keep doing the things you love and that keep you sane, or you can fall into a black hole where all you are is Mommy and you lose your identity. I have fallen into the latter category. I have no time for the things that I love, such as knitting, sewing, and all other such crafty things. I don't usually have the energy to bake or make lovely dinners like I used to. I never listen to music anymore. Heck, I don't even know what kind of music I like anymore, it's been that long since I clicked play on iTunes or watched a music video on YouTube.

I guess this is an attempt to do something I used to love (writing) while documenting this amazing journey of motherhood, and at the same time push myself to do other things that I love... all in an attempt to scrape back some sanity. (?) Also, I'm sure I'll go on and on about the newest obsessions that being a mom has given me, such as wishing I could buy all the Scandi baby clothes there are (all while neglecting to spend a penny on myself. No, I am not still wearing my maternity jeans!! Okay, maybe I am.)

I'm sure I won't even tell anybody about this blog, as who would even want to read these ramblings?? OK, probably my mom. So yeah, I'll probably tell her.
