My first post!

I am new to the blogging world. I have been a blog reader and devotee of some of the best blogs in existence for awhile now. But, this is my first effort. I know that it will be sadly lacking at first. But, I am a quick learner and appreciate a challenge - so watch out!
I am inspired by these blogs:

and 2 new ones I discovered through the above blogs:

I will spend some time over the next few days working on jazzing up my blog to make it look more snazzy. I will share it with a few friends, and get some feedback too.

I have been reading the "List of 100" that a few of my favorite bloggers have come up with, and will start compiling my own list of 100. I look forward to what I am sure I will learn about myself.

Today's inspired idea came from my friend Alison, who I believe got the idea from Martha Stewart. A job jar - with different colored paper for each person in the house. I look forward to working with Georgia, who is 4, to come up with her jobs to be done, and I am having a hard time not clapping my hands with glee at the prospect of making up the "honey-do's" for my husband, Chris!

Chris will be returning from a 7 month military deployment early next week, and with my 3rd pregnancy rapidly coming to a close - only 3 more weeks - you can just imagine the plethora of unfinished tasks piling up around this house!

Okay - off to work!
Thanks for reading my blog!
