Blogging... huh???

OK, so this is my first time blogging and I know NOTHING of the blogging world, including how to create a page... so please be patient with me as I try to figure this all out.  I really wanted to just create a place where I could share what's going on in our lives, but also give me an outlet to get all of my thoughts out on "paper".  I feel like there is a whirlwind going on in there and hopefully this will create a way to give some order to the chaos.  I don't even know how I will find the time to write blogs, but lots of people do it everyday... so I can too... right?? Any advice for a first time blogger would be much appreciated!
