It’s hard for me to believe that PinkMeNot is now five years old.  I never thought that I’d last this long – I had given myself a couple of years at most since I tend to lose interest in hobbies pretty quickly.  And yet, here I am.  Continuing to chronicle the antics of our daughters and my personal victories and struggles as a mom experiencing an extended mid-life crisis.  Writing about happy times and sad times, silly girls and serious girls, and everything in between.

With a look back to my very first posts about Sophie and Chloe, I’m struck by how much they’ve changed and how much they’re still the same.  In five years, I’ve written 1,314 stories about the girls and our family – averaging about 260 posts each year.  It’s the longest I’ve stuck with anything (except my husband) my whole life.

Girls – if that doesn’t convince you how much I love and adore you, I don’t know what will.  Here’s to another five years, when Sophie will be 12 and Chloe 16.  Oy!
