My about page shares the basics of what this blog is all about. I want to share my experiences and thoughts on parenting topics. I want to share my two cents on topics that relate to the fiber of family values and what I think is right or wrong. I continue to learn something new every day about being a better dad, husband and man. I pray that my children learn from my words and my actions as they grow into adults.
Most importantly however this blog will be a place where many of my family and parenting experiences will be archived for my children and their children to see. This dad blog or parenting blog, however you want to describe it, I will capture my families moments from my perspective. So many things happen with a family and time just flies by. There are so many small moments as parents that make my wife and I look at each other, smile and then laugh at what our children say or do. Children are natural comedians as you know and I want to try to remember everything. I am a sentimental guy and I don’t know where I got it from but that is how I turned out.
I started writing small things over the past few years about both my children and the little and big things that I had noticed. Not a blog but just memories I didn’t want to forget. Moments like my daughter asking Jesus into her heart or my son walking like an old man for no apparent reason other than to entertain me and his mother. Maybe it’s how my son randomly sings a response to me or how my daughter is fearless about things to this day I have anxiety about. I don’t want to forget these memories. 30 years from now I want to sit next to my grandchildren and read to them how funny, smart and intelligent their parents, my children were and are. Who knows, maybe in the next 20 years this will turn into a grandparent blog or maybe I will create a new one all together for that.
Many parents start writing down memories in baby books and slowly forget to keep entering memories. It happens and it has happened to me and my wife. I wish I would have jumped on the blogging ban wagon many years ago when it became popular. I can only imagine how many forgotten memories I would have been able to document.
Starting a blog doesn’t take much and doesn’t even have to cost money. There are plenty of free platforms available to parents. There is Blogspot.com from Google and there is WordPress.com. It’s a great way to test blogging and to see if it’s something you would enjoy. The platform I write on cost less than $100 dollars a year. There are a ton of mom and dad bloggers sharing their experiences, trials, and special moments. I only follow a few but the ones I follow are quite entertaining.
If there was ever a better time to learn from other parents in your parenting journey, it is right now. There has never been more information available to anyone then right now! And this statement will always hold true so long as that information is carried on the internet.
A blog isn’t for every parent but for those who enjoy sharing experiences, advice, and frustrations so why not start a blog? I look back to when I started my first blog over a year ago and I would have never thought I had something to say let alone have others out there that were interested in what I had to say. But sure enough I have quite a few followers that have learned quite a bit from my experiences.
Anyways think about blogging and let me know if you start one.
Take care,
Andrew
