Oh, really?




Yes. The Tornow family IS still alive. I'm posting a few pictures from our recent trip to Disneyland.

I know I'm going to kick myself someday (okay, I already have been for months) for not recording the happenings of this last year better. The girls have grown so much and accomplished so many things that I have not documented. But to be honest, I've actually been struggling about whether or not I want to make this blog private.

I've mentioned before that the reason I blog is because it's my version of my journal. I really feel that it is important to keep a journal/personal history. I want myself and my children to be able to look back and remember joyous times as well as be reminded of lessons learned during times of struggle. I know that many of my blogging friends blog for the same reason.

However, I have found that I have a difficult time making my personal struggles public, and that kind of defeats one of my main reasons for having the blog, right? So I'm curious what my fellow beloved bloggers (and who knows if you even check my blog anymore since I update it so seldom!) think upon this subject.

Do you ever find it difficult to be completely "real" in your posts? Have you considered making your blog private? Those of you who have gone private, have you experienced many downsides for doing so?

Well, I am definitely leaning towards going private. But I probably won't make the decision right away. I do hope to get back into the swing of things and start posting again, though. (Maybe nobody will read those posts, and I won't need to go private)!
