CONFESSION

Alright, I have a confession. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here ... yet here I am! I think I figured with newborn twins (well, twelve weeks ... when do you stop calling them newborns?), three other crazies kiddos (ages six, four, and one), and going back to work last week that I was bored and needed just one more thing to add to my non-existent list. So, alas, here I am, blogosphere!

My goal (I think) with this blog is to somehow document all of the craziness, chaos, joy, stress and love that comes with living this crazy blessed life as a family of SEVEN (it still feels weird to even type that number). I mean ultimately I would love to become the next Camp Patton, but I am not funny enough, witty enough, nor am I pregnant (nor will I eveeerrr be pending a festivus miracle) with my sixth child -- yes, she is pregnant with their sixth and I don't know about any of you, but this mama of five CAN'T. EVEN. IMAGINE. But seriously, if you're not following her, do. She's awesome.

Ever since the twins entered the world, the days are flying by. If I'm being honest, many are a blur, and I fear twenty years from now that I'm going to look back and not remember much from these sleep-deprived, learn-as-you-go, young parenting days because who has time for baby books, am I right?! And, just like the sappy country song says, that I'm going to miss this -- the sleepless nights, messy house, temper tantrums, breastfeeding, potty-training (ok, maybe not the potty-training), baby/toddler/little kid snuggles ... that I'm going to miss it. Every. Single. Thing.

So, here it goes... and maybe in typing I've figured out what I'm here to do, and what I want to say. Introducing The Hajduch Bunch Family Book ... a collaborative piece courtesy of Carlie, Joey, Emma, Finley, Beckett, Campbelle and Sutton Hajduch.

If you're looking for a blog to help you dish up the next best recipe for family night, you have most definitely come to the wrong place unless you're looking to find out how to cook the best frozen pizza, because if so, I'm your gal! But, if you're looking to follow along with a family full of  imperfection, very little sleep, and a whole lot of love, then we're your crew!

Thanks for checking us out! Just as I'm sure I'll mention just about every single time I write, we survive get by with a little help from our friends/family. So, thanks, and see you soon :)
