Blogging Memoirs for my Children

Posted by Dulcinea Norton-Smith May 27, 2008

Inspired by my own article I have created a new blog called Letters To My Children.

As you may know from my previous bloggings I have long been writing pen and paper letters to my children about their lives but I decided why not do a blog? I am always on the computer and so will find it easier to regularly update than bothering to find a pen and nice paper every time I have something to say.

Another bonus is that if we ever have a fire or flood in our house (God forbid) then the letters are not lost. They are stored on some super server somewhere untouched by my own personal disaster. The couch and TV may be history but the letters will survive!

I have so far created the blog and invited my husband to join so all I need to do now is find ten minutes without the kids to start typing. Is that hypocritical? Doing something for the children but needing them to be somewhere else so that I can do it?

I will also be inviting a few other relatives to join in. On the children's 18th or 21st birthday I will be able to present them with their very own memoir when I get their blog printed as a book. I think that I am being ever so forward thinking and technologically advanced but I am sure that when I present them with their "Bi-blog-raphy" they will think that mom is laughably old fashioned and quaint!
