Our Daily Legacy, the new blog

A couple years ago, my sister (-in-law) and I decided to start a blog together.  We thought of a name, drafted a mission statement, figured out logistics, brainstormed post topics, etc..  But we never started it.  Well, no, we just never posted anything.  That was about when the action on this blog took a terrible lull.  Every time I had an idea for a post, I wanted to put it on this great new blog, and I started keeping a list of all my ideas for "the new blog."  But I wanted my very first post to be special, and I just couldn't get it together.  So it stagnated.

Well, while my family was in Canada last month, we decided to invite a couple like-minded sisters to join in the fun and get it going!  That was the catalyst we needed.  Now we're all trying to post once a week.  (I gave up on putting my thoughts together for that first inspiring post. Maybe it will come up one day.)  

The blog is called Our Daily Legacy.  The point is exactly that: to share ideas about making each day worthwhile.  How can my choices make a positive difference?  How can I better look after my God-given stewardship?  In my opinion, everyone has the same core stewardship: body, family, earth.  After that, it varies from person to person.  For example, I also have some violin students and Mia Maids to look after... And of course, we should all be looking out for each other.  That's why we're here together!

The scope of the blog is very broad.  You'll see ideas regarding natural living and healing, order and organization, going green, real food and nutrition, pregnancy and childbirth, spirituality, and anything helpful and edifying.  We are dedicated to giving the best we can to our families and the earth, often with limited resources and budget.  

My sisters have such great ideas so far, and we've barely scratched the surface!  I've loved Ariel's posts on journaling and decluttering.  Melissa taught me something new about nutrition here and issued a sweet reminder on how to treat others here.  And Meredith completely inspired me with her maiden post on order in our homes.  I've posted my recipe for homemade deodorant and also a list of the natural sweeteners we use in place of refined sugar.  

As the possibilites are endless, I can't wait to see what emerges from day to day!  We are writing to share our ideas with each other, but we are anxious to glean what we can from others, so keep up with us and share your ideas in the comments.  If there's a subject you'd like to see touched on, please let me know (better yet, do a guest post!).  The more we share, the more we all stand to benefit.  I am grateful to have this new outlet for the whirlwind of ideas spinning me off my feet, as well as this terrific resource to learn from others.

Maybe I'll be able to pick things up on this blog now. :)

By the way...

Aren't they great?
