I have decided to set some goals around here and give our blog (and my life) a little more sense of purpose. After all we are living in Europe and there is a little more to this life that I want to remember than,"we went here, then we did this and then we did that"...it's getting boring and when I think about what I want us to remember about our time here, the wrote travel is not it! In order to up the game in these parts on photo shooting, real family journaling, and improving my international cooking skills through observant travel I am planning on beginning 3 "series'" if you will. This is purely for my benefit, no blogging goals or plans to make the blog public again at all but I want to look back and feel like I really did something with my time here...that I learned and I shared and I absorbed and took advantage of every moment. So, here's the deal:
Once a week: I will post something that one of us is loving about Italy right now. These posts will be titles, Italian Love, so if you're not interested (again, this is more for us) than don't read the ones with this title.
Once a month: I will write a letter or an update on each of the kids...something they have said or are doing or what we are loving about them right now. One post each month about each of the kids.
A recipe: I am very observant when it comes to food. I love it, I think about what I am going to eat next before I have even finished the current meal and I remember food from the most random occasions. On every trip I come home with a new food that I want to try and replicate here at home. Why in the heck not blog about it! It will be good for me! The title, Food Travel will appear after every trip and on other random delicious occasions.
I have had reservations for sometime about blogging anything other than mundane family updates because we share this with only our family, mostly males who could careless about any of this other stuff. So, if you see the title of "Italian Love" or "Travel Recipe" just don't read it! This is about me pushing myself, giving myself a little sense of purpose and actively choosing to live a better story! Feel free to ignore me!
