January Journal




When I finally get around to designing my 2013 blog book I plan to make a collage of the following photographs to compliment the 31 entries I made in my planner about each day of the month. It is abundantly clear that as much as I LOVE to blog, I just don't have the time to keep up with it. This is my solution and I am so glad to not let any more funny things my kids say, adventures we've taken, & lessons I've learned get lost in the cobwebs of my mind.

So once a month I will dump a sampling of the photos in a journal post - mostly from my phone to make sure they get in the right spot before getting lost amongst the thousands of others on my phone.

I have no intention of changing my sporatic blogging habits - I've been at this 7 years now and treasure this space and the friendships I've made here. I am only trying to do a better job of staying true to why I started this blog in the first place.

Have you changed how you blog over the years?

side note:
I have chosen to type those entries into the book when the time comes and not share them on the interwebs to protect my family. I have always been cautious of sharing some details about our life that pertain to our schedule, daily routine, and our jobs. I hope you can understand that I'm not hiding anything, I try to be as transparent as I can in this space, but I don't think the whole world needs to know the name of the school our children attend, the hours my husband and I work, and when we leave town for a few days.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
