Hello

Good day, 

I want to give you some background information on why I wanted to start a Blog. In less than a month I will celebrate my 30th Birthday! Most people celebrate 30 with open arms but I am having a hard time embracing this year. 25 was what I thought was my hard year  to accept  but 30 seems to be lingering in my mind. I think my concern with the age of 30 is that was the age my mother was first diagnosed with cancer. I still can remember the day like It was yesterday. I can remember sitting there while our parents took us for dinner and a drive and my everyday world came swirling in. My parents took my brother and I to where we went as kids to feed the Canadian Geese in our hometown and mom started to cry, she told us that there was something that Dad and her needed to tell us. She had Cancer and at 12 years old, cancer was a term I had heard but didn't know the full extent of what it really meant. My grandfather had cancer, my mother had cancer it's in our genes. So 30 is a scary year to think about. At 29 I am a Mommy to three amazing children, my lil man is 9, Ginja Ninja is 3 and Coco is 1, I am engaged to an amazing man who has dedicated his life to our country, he is a Canadian forces member and I couldn't imagine our  perfect little world playing out anyway than the way it is right now. This year in October I will marry the love of my life, we will start the next chapter of our lives  and I think about all of life's what ifs. So my reason for wanting to blog is to have something for my kids to look back on. On tough days I wish that I had something encouraging of my moms to read. I do not have Cancer but why should that be a reason to leave memories for our children? I have looked at many ways to document our life, I have spent a small fortune on scrap booking and the furthest I got with that is about 10 pages of lil man's baby scrapbook and well he is 9 so I don't foresee completing that anytime soon. I looked at doing a Project life book, but the cost and my previous track record, I think there are better ways to spend a few hundred dollars, so a free blog seemed like a good idea. I could try it out, and if it doesn't seem to be for me then there isn't a pile of papers in the  house that the kids will end up using for cut and paste  while I cringe at the amount of money I spent on paper !!  So here begins the journey of blogging, a way of documenting our journey  in love , friendship and parenting.
