At the urging of some friends, my sister and her husband I have finally created my first blog. Why was I reluctant to join the growing population of bloggers? Here are some reasons why:
1. I am not articulate. I can be, but most of the time when a thought forms in my head it somehow gets jumbled as I say it or attempt to write it down. I'm the type of person when writing a simple b-day card actually creates drafts on scrap pieces of paper before attempting on the original. Plus, my punctuation stinks. I've forgotten most of what I've learned from all my past English classes. Maybe that's why I'm afraid to get my Masters. The fear of writing a thesis.
2. I am not that creative and I wonder if I'll actually have anything worth posting. It took me forever just to come up with a blog name (hours and it would be more except I promised my brother-in-law a blog today) and even then I stole part of the blog name from my sister. I actually think its a bit clever, and for those who know me and my sister you may think so too. . .or NOT. My almost teenage daughter thought it was completely unoriginal.
3. Time, Time, Time. I don't have a lot of it. Who really does? With 5 kids I have my hands full keeping everything running smoothly and happily. Plus, when I'm blogging, in the back of my mind I know I should be doing something that actually improves the world around me like scrubbing toilets or washing dishes.
But here I go. I'm giving it a shot.

Great start Krista. I'm excited to read your daily (just kidding) blogs.
Krista, Maybe you should have been "Keep it simple two" then kellie could have been Keep it simple three. and I could be keep it simple DAD.
Love the blogs.

Wow, you kinda made it sounds like we twisted your arm, but that's ok. Glad to have to you join the blogosphere. It'll never be the same. You wrote a bunch of reasons of why not to blog - you should try a few about why to blog. Just for a little positive affirmation stuff. I really look forward to reading along!
Great start Krista! Look forward to reading your blog.
Whatever. . . you are articulate you just don't think you are and who was it I sat and crafted with all the time on Guam and having 5 kids alone makes you creative you have to be with that many children you are trying to manage. Besides, you don't have to blog every day, I do it just whenever I want to post pictures!! Like your title just keep it simple!!! By the way still no baby! 4 days and counting! Love and miss you,

Welcome to our world, Krista! Can't wait to hear more.
