I originally started this little blog almost 10 years ago with the singular intent of keeping my family up to date on all the awesomeness that was my kids. At the time, I only had two sweet girls and they were babies. And I was in LOVE with them and obsessed with them and I thought everyone else should be also.
The problem is those helpless, adorable babies grew up to be independent humans. And I came to the simple truth--that kind of obsession (which is so important to have with a tiny baby) is just unsustainable and, frankly, unhealthy for them and me.
I also realized that since my girls are independent human beings their lives aren't totally mine to share. I really have no right to lay claim to their story like I did when they were babies. Their story is theirs to tell now.
But I still have a story to tell. A lot of my story still involves those three silly girls. Another huge chunk of my story is about me learning how to navigate this crazy world as a mom of three girls. But I also like to tell stories about other things outside of my role as a parent.
Hopefully this site can handle evolving into something more than just a repository for our great family memories. I thought about starting a new site on which I could share my stories. But, the thing is, that after 10 years, I still identify myself as the Quirky Scribe. No other site felt right. So here goes...the QuirkyScribe is evolving!
