Life is Better Lived Together

There used to be a car commercial that had that tag line. "Life is better lived together." RC and I would always comment when we saw that commercial how we totally agreed. Life is better lived together.

Basically, that's the whole point of this blog. Because I believe that life is better lived together I have put our life here on this blog to share with friends and family. And because I am finally firm in that being the sole purpose of this here blog I am changing some things.

First, I will now be posting every Tuesday and Friday. I will only post on other days if there is something vitally important to tell and since that has never happened in the 2 year life of this blog I don't expect it to happen now. If something is vitally important it usually isn't something I'm willing to post on the blog right away or ever. So there you go. Tuesdays and Fridays it is.

Second, because I have determined a set posting schedule I will no longer be sending out email reminders. I know they are handy, but with my new email I can only send out 5 at a time and it is taking longer than it used to. If you can't remember to check my blog - Good! It means you a) rarely get on the computer, b) see or talk to me on a regular basis and don't need to check my blog to know the Babione6 happenings, or c) rarely see or talk to me and therefore rarely think about me and therefore don't need to know the happenings of Babione6. I'm sure there are more reasons, but you get my point. If checking my blog isn't something you ever think of doing I am perfectly fine with that!!!

Third, I am going to post things that I would normally share with friends and family in conversation or if you were to visit our home. Because that is the purpose of this blog. If you want more information (like how to do something I've done, or where I got something, etc.) then ask. I am now thinking of this blog more like a conversation rather than an instrument for transmitting information.

Likewise, I love receiving feedback from you all. I'm not looking for validation or praise. I'm looking for living life together. This is why I've stopped listing the blogs of people I don't personally know. All the blogs in my blog list are written by people whose names and faces I know AND who know my name and face too. I'm not looking to be a professional blogger I'm looking to stay better connected with those I know and love. So please continue the conversation with me as though we were on the phone or drinking cherry coke / diet coke / sweet tea / kool-aid / water / or a Bacardi together. And I'll do the same for those of you who have blogs or email.

If you happen to be reading this blog and don't personally know us please know that you are welcome. However, having a large following of people I don't personally know is not the intent of this blog. So I will be writing with family and friends in mind, not strangers.

I love you all and I appreciate you taking time out of your life to get a glimpse into ours. Because life is truly better lived together.
