Here it is!

I have finally started a blog! I am still not sure about the name. I had 2 other names picked out and somehow "Erika Mania" found itself on the page.
Why have a blog?

• Well, mostly because I have a lot to say. :)
• I am starting a few new things in my life (like I need to start anything else new) and I really want to cataloge it and also share these new experiences with people who would like to share them with me.
• Reading my blog is the reader's choice. Unlike facebook where you are subjected to my nonsense, here you can choose to read what I have to say.
• Sometimes, that tiny little "what is on your mind" box is just not long enough.
• This helps me reflect what I have said before. I can see if I am being redundant in my thoughts. I can also see if I am making any progress in my growth.

What might you see in my blog?

• Hopefully not too much complaining. lol
• Of course, stories of my boys and my adventures in this wonderful thing called Motherhood. (I also call this "the trenches of parenthood)
• my thoughts over something I have read or experienced that has brought a hightened emotion or reaction.
• Probably some reflections or new realizations I find in my life.
• I am going to start this new workout plan and I want to share my progress with you!
• Some new things I see in my walk with Jesus
• And whatever else I think is important and SUPER cool!

I hope this is a positive experience for us all! I can't wait to get started and start getting conversations started about different things!!
This is it for now.
