I've been blogging over at Yahoo 360 for some time, and just wanted to spread my wings a bit. Blogger has so many options! So I'll try this for a while, and maintain my other one, and see which one I like more. 

I got the title from Emily Dickinson's quote

"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else"

That's how I feel about my life some days....just living our happy life with seven kids, a dad and a mom, I have little time for anything else. But it is life...and what is more blessed than that?
