After more than a year of documenting all the adorable, embarrassing, or remotely humorous things my kids say and do on everyone’s favorite blog, puppydogtails.wordpress.com, I thought I’d start a spin-off blog to document the real scoop–the struggles going on in my life as a mom. Honestly, I’ve had this idea for about 6 months, and it has taken me that long to muster the courage to write this blog. In some ways, I’d like everyone to go on thinking that we are a picture-perfect family, that we’ve got it all together, and we sit around and chuckle all day at the funny musings of our perfectly-behaved children. I expect I’ll be the one who gains the most from this blog–thinking more deeply as I write and looking back on where I’ve been. And this blog will also give me accountability–if I haven’t written in awhile, I’m probably not spending time listening to the lessons God has for me.
But if something on this blog touches you, resonates with your experience, or confuses you–as a mom or not, Christian or not–I hope you will feel free to comment, email me, or ask me any questions. To God alone be the glory, for we are saved and grow in Christ-likeness by His Grace Alone.
More to come . . . (it took me 30 minutes to get this all set up, and I’m tired!)

Somewhere in your archives I read that you wanted a record of the lessons you are learning. That is so true. My head is swishing at the moment due to all the great stuff I am learning and I want to record it somehow so that it does not get lost again. I hope you don’t mind, I have taken notes as I browsed and will right up some pointers to remind me of many “A-Ha” moments as I read your blog. Another great book I read is called “Breathe” about how to gain some time with family and not being swayed by life’s busyness. Need to collate all these notes. Also need a folder that will take these pointers and the lessons from my weekly email Bible study etc. Also need a method to record Bible verses from my little cards to memorise and some of your other points about praying for children etc. Excuse rambling, but head bursting with ideas and need for action. Many, many thanks….Jacqui
PS, must be tired…” write” not “right”…..
