This is worth it all....

Okay I think before I get to far into this blogging thingy I need to establish why I even started this blog. To be honest, I have probably spent a good year obsessing over other people’s blogs. I loved to read what other’s had to say, see their craft projects, and their cute little kids and the fun things they planned with them. I have found so many blogs that have inspired me to want to do all sorts of stuff. For a long time I wanted to start a blog, but knew I would not come across as witty or crafty as some of these amazing woman who start some of these blogs. I had nothing to write about I felt and really who would read it anyway?

But of course after having Grayden and experiencing the joys of motherhood. I thought HEY! I can have a blog too!  No one has to read it, that shouldn’t stop me from having one.  Then came the big dilemma, what to name my blog?  I could have just done the Briscoe family, but I wanted it to be more than that, while browsing beautiful necklaces at The Vintage Pearl and Lisa Leonard.  I came across a necklace that said YOU ARE WORTH IT ALL. I loved it, but got this one instead.

It says Grayden... Don't you love it?

It really was how I felt about Grayden. All this joy, anxiety, love, learning, and fear I have of being a new mommy in the end he is worth it all. Then I began to look at my life… I have an absolutely wonderful and amazing, husband, who I am madly in love with, who I probably don’t tell often enough how lucky I feel to be married to him. I have a beautiful house that my talented husband has made into a home for our family. I have in my eyes the most perfect little boy, who is loved sooo much.  We are also very lucky to be surrounded by the best family and friends. So I thought this was it!! THIS IS WORTH IT ALL.  My life is just how I want it to be. But of course not everything is perfect and we all wish we were more crafty, smart, funny, in shape. We all have things that we think would make our life better or easier. But really when I stop thinking beyond what I want this is all I NEED. In the end this IS worth it all, I wouldn’t trade our journey for anything else.

So this blog is going to be a place for me to write and remember all the special little things that make us a family. It will be kind of like a journal that I hope I will make time for at least once a week if not more. That way we can look back at all our memories. I hope to still be inspired by other Mom’s blogs. So my dreams of becoming more crafty and witty will come true, but in the meantime I am going to try my very best everyday to be the best Mommy to Grayden and the best wife to his Daddy.
