So, I’m the “other” Mel. Why? Well, I have a friend named Melody (who sings melodiously btw) and her nickname is also Mel, so to each other, we are the Other Mels. Silly, but fun. I guess I’m technically the “first” Mel, since I am (considerably) older, but I digress. I’m starting a blog. Why? Too many things happen in my days that I either A) forget the next day, or B) forget to tell my husband. The reason(s) I get distracted from remembering funny/important/useful things are in the picture above. My four children are beautiful, entertaining, smart, fascinating, frustrating and my heart aches with my love for them. So, here I am to record my life, lest any tiny memory try to escape. It’s late, so this post will be short. I love the Lord, my husband and my kids. I love to cook, sew, embroider, and take pictures. In short, I like to create beautiful things – whether they are beautiful to look at, eat, smell, or touch.
