a little bit of this and that.
will any of you judge me if i tell you that i think it’s taken almost three years to come out of the fog of becoming a family of five? that’s rhetorical, i know none of you will judge me, you’ve been around forever and you’re my people.
(speaking of that, if anyone wants to follow via different feeds, like bloglovin or their rss feed, i’m linking those for you below. otherwise, scroll to the bottom of the page and subscribe down below to get new posts when they publish!)

okay, back to this and that. it really truly feels like i’m just now getting my old energy and personality back. i don’t know if moving during pregnancy almost ended me, or if it’s the fact that i work at home now, but i’ve had actually zero motivation or desire for a creative outlet. that’s what blogging used to be for me, a creative outlet. then somehow it became just another thing that took up time and energy i didn’t have. so i stopped. because if i don’t have the bandwidth for something, it needs to take a backseat until the bandwidth opens up.
i’ve been feeling like i’m in more of a groove with life and schedules and my ability to parent three children, so i’m hoping to spend some more time on here. i still read my favorite bloggers when they post! no one big, just my online friends who i was lucky enough to meet when i started this site almost ten years ago. i love reading their words and catching up on what they’re doing, and i hope that whoever is reading this feels the same about my words.
i was talking to a friend today about how i love photography but haven’t had the energy to devote to it for a long time. and then a little voice in the back of my head reminded me that i love blogging too. and maybe now is an okay time to start dipping my toe back in. just when inspiration strikes. when i have a funny thought to share. or when i have some cute photos of my kids i want you to see. (although if anyone wants to teach me how to finally monetize this bitch in an easy and efficient way, hit me up)
here’s a quick update before i head out for the night:
my kids are all growing up way too quickly. amelia is going to be seven next month, william will be five in the fall, and bernadette will turn three.
the kids will all be in school in some form or another this year, so i will have three mornings a week to myself. will i be working during those times? mostly yes. but i’ll be working in a coffee shop without kids interrupting me during “quiet time” which is basically like a vacation.
mister man and i have been married for nine years now. if you’ve been here since day one, you’ll remember that i started blogging just after we got married, so we’re getting close to double digits here. in blog land and marriage land.
we love living in stillwater near our families, it’s been the greatest gift ever, especially during the year that shall not be named.
if you somehow find this and read this (because switching hosting accounts really messes with your subscriber list that you worked really hard to build…), give me a mini update in the comments below. i want to hear what you’re all up to these days!
