Where have I been? I KNOW!
I'm here.
Trying to stay focused on what's good in life.
Loving on my husband and kids.
Trying to get past struggles I'm going through.
Praying a lot.
Asking God what He has in store for us
and for Him to give us peace with His answer.
Also.
Thinking and
praying and crying
for friends and family
that have had some real
tragedy and resent sorrow.

So this whole blogging thing.
I really enjoy it.
But then there's this OTHER way I feel about it.
It can be such a time waster.
But it's that one person's life you touch that makes it all worth it.
I would love to do that. Be real enough that someone can relate to me.
Show them my unlovely side without them being repulsed, but instead, encouraged.
And there's this whole insecurity thing I've got going on in my head.
I have to face it, I am not a natural born writer.
You will see many mistakes in my posts.
But I can still do my best. And keep trying and learning.
That's all any of us can do.
It's a journey.
One that I'll most likely be on for the rest of my life.
Trying to find peace with myself.
But I'm thankful for old friends that call and encourage.
I'm thankful for parents that love unconditionally.
I'm thankful for a husband that bring me yummy drinks:)
and kiddos that love my company and make me laugh all day long.
Most of all. I'm thankful that the Lord loves me.
That might sound self righteous to some. But I feel His love.
everyday.
it's sometimes the ONE thing that helps me get through the day.

My kiddos and my hubby are my life. I love giving them me and all of my time.
In fact, even when I do get to "get away" [to target or out with a gf] I miss them.

BUT
I miss teaching.
I miss teaching.
It's been a year guys.
A long, fast, lovely year.
Filled with the joy only a new baby brings.
But it's time.
Time to teach again.
Time for me to give.
To feel that passion again.
Sometimes it's just easier to have minimalist days, you know...the ones where you just take care of your family, yourself and try your best to just relax.

Blogging is one of my loved hobbies, among other hobbies that I miss.
Times are just so crazy right now. So much going on in the world.
Sometimes the hobbies and passions I have seem so insignificant.
Are any of you bloggers struggling with making the time to blog?

I definitely have been the last few months. Obviously I have an excuse with the baby and all, but I realized one day that I feel better when I blog, like I'm connecting to the world somehow and so I need to put more of an effort towards it. But I for SURE go through blogging slumps. But keep it up! I love reading your blog!
YES! As you know, I am absolutely one of those bloggers that struggles to make time to blog. It's hard. I can definitely relate to the 'time-waster' feeling. And sometimes I really just have nothing interesting to say.
Beautiful photographs, by the way, as usual! And welcome back!
I just found your blog, and am just finding blogging, and yoga as well. I love this post. It's so hard finding that balance that keeps everyone feeling fulfilled. (I have two baby girls.) It's nice to see that you are deciding to resume some of the things that were "yours" before you had your baby, and that your are leaning on your faith for strength.
Thanks Des! I appreciate you saying that.
Bethany, Thanks girl!
