That’s me. I’m trying to clean up my blog, twitter lists, and feed reader.
It’s been difficult to keep up with everyone that I want to, or may want to keep up with, so I need to do TONS of housekeeping.
I hope to merge many of my “Categories” and actually start using more tags. Would you believe that after 7 years of blogging that I don’t? At least not often? It’s true. Oh, the SEO shame.
Why now? My life is about to go crazy; in a good way.
Wait? What? Isn’t my life already crazy? 3 boys under 7?
Well, yes, it is.
You may know this, but my oldest, William, just started first grade. When a boy starts first grade he can join cub scouts. Cub scouts are part of the “pack” but they are also in “Dens”. There were over 20 new cubs. We had to divide into 3 dens. Any guesses who will “lead” one of those dens?
Yeah, that would be me. I’m not doing it alone though, Charlie is co-leader. He was in boy scouts when he was a kid and went although to “life” and stopped. Yes, there is something after “life”. It’s called “eagle”. Anyways, that’s several years away.

There you have it. Why I want to organize my online life a little better.
I plant to have a folder in my reader for EVERY. SINGLE. person that comments on my blog more than 3 times. You might want to get yours in. 🙂
I’m not in a place in my life where I can even fathom being a boy scouts den mother. Good luck, chicky!
And the new blog look is gorgeous!! I love the anchors!

Trying to clean up a blog is hard. I’m still trying to find the best ways to do it with mine. It’s a process.
Good luck with boy scouts too. My cousin’s a wolf, or a bear……..
My dad’s an Eagle scout so I leave all that stuff to him

Well done! I want to organize my online life too, but I am not sure that it’ll happen in the near future.
Anyways I find distinguishing categories and tags difficult too :D.

Wish I could get more organized online. I just have 2 kids under 2 (one is a newborn)…and I just can’t seem to get a grip on life! You amaze me being able to handle 3! Good luck with the new Cub Scouts venture!
Good Luck with being a Den Mom. We are very involved in scouts as well, and it is time consuming, but very rewarding experience (for us and for our son). I am in general not in favor of “Mom of…” bumber stickers, but if he ever makes Eagle, I’ll be damn sure to scream that achievemnt to the world 🙂
Oh, and GL with all the leader training too.

Firstly, love the title. Took me back to the days I volunteered in the preschool class my mom taught at a local church. The program was called “Mom’s Morning Out” and they used to sing that at the end of the day.
I love your goals for your blog to reflect on how you life is changing. I completely took down my first blog, moved to a different platform, and changed writing styles a good bit. Had to go back to writing for me because it is an outlet of therapy. So much happier with it now and it is more reflective of my life now.
I also commend you for taking a leadership role with the scouts. Any activity and outlet for young kids to be in that channels a good spirited nature has a much needed place in society.

I agreed to be my daughter’s Girl Scout troop co-leader this year. I agreed very reluctantly, but so far, I must admit, I don’t hate it. I’m kinda proud that I don’t hate it!
