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!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

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
