Confessions Of A Slacker Mom...
I have a confession to make. Although I am a consistent blogger, Jack's scrapbook ends at two months old and I never started a book for Ben and Lauren. This was brought to a head once again when I went to enroll Jack for kindergarten. I don't have his birth certificate. I don't know if I ever did. I scoured our file cabinet with no luck. When I told Travis of my plight he simply said, "I bet it is in his baby book". For the record, I suck. I think I was given a baby book at a shower for Jack, but I have never written in it. I had a pregnancy journal for Nate and Spence, I journaled everything. I think that just soured me on the whole baby book thing. I blog nearly everyday rather than cut a bunch of scraps of paper and spend hours on end to document one small event in my kids' life. I don't love my kids any less than "scrappers" do! Which brings me to my point, how do I save all of these stories I have written about my kids in this blog? Is there a way to print my blog? Will Blogger be around forever or will I someday lose everything? I am reaching out to all of you computer savvy bloggers, how do I save my posts?

There's a link for blogger telling you how to do it. They don't have an automatic feature to do that (though given time they might come up with it I think) Your other best bet is to go through and copy/past things into word documents, save with the post title as the file name, and then from here on out do that each time you post or once a week. Time consuming, but once you get caught up it shouldn't be too bad.
