On occasion I get wild ideas. Today I had one. I've had it before, even done it before, but it came again. "I should start a blog."
Sometime after I had my oldest son I started a blog to chronicle him. It continued for a while after I had my second son, but then I stopped. Because, well, I had 2 kids and something had to give.
A couple of years ago, I thought about starting back up to, again, chronicle my now 3 kids. I got as far as naming the blog. I didn't even publish a post.
So here we are again. The idea to start blogging resurrects itself. But this time it feels a little different. I've been thinking that I need a place for me, a place to be a little creative and a place to express myself. I chose the name 'Raising Herr,' because I'm raising 3 little Herrs, but also because most days I still feel like I'm raising myself. I feel like that makes me sound a bit more damaged than I am, but I think you get the point. I'm nearly 9 years in to being a mom, but everyday I make mistakes and learn something new. Every year I vow to be healthier than I was the year before, to be more present with my family, to build more experiences into our life and to do my job just a little bit better. The slow creep to becoming the me I want to be continues this year.
At this point, I have no idea were this is going to go, or what I'm really going to talk about. I'm just going to share my life--what we did, what I'm thinking, maybe what we eat, perhaps an outfit or two I love. But mostly, I'm hoping to chronicle my journey in becoming a better me.
