Doesn't Get Much Better...


Since I now have more free time on my hands (well, not really a lot of "free" time, but much more time to spend with my kids since I left my job last week) I really wanted to do more fun activities with them.  So we spent the afternoon swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's house!  There wasn't much of this last summer, so I'm hoping to get quite a bit in this year.  Looks pretty tough, huh??



  



Here's to more fun in the sun!   Hope you are enjoying your summer as well!

Breathing Life Back Into My Blog!

Wow, the last time I posted on this blog was over two years ago!  SO much has happened in those two years!  I will attempt, over the next couple of weeks, to bring this old blog back up to date and fill it in with the major happenings that our family has gone through since then. Lot's of updating to be done on here too (it's a little outdated and boring)!

To start it all off...today was my last day of working for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.  I have worked for them for over a year and a half as a Senior Ad Sales Rep.  I've learned so much and met the most wonderful people. It was a bittersweet day, since I love everyone that I work with, but I'm excited for the new adventure I am about to begin too!  I am starting my own business that I hope to launch sometime next month. 

I am also excited about spending more time with my kiddos!  I still have three out of five that are school aged.  It goes so fast, I need to enjoy this time with them.  They deserve it!

The youngest two...who wouldn't want to spend more time with them?


I am also very excited to be able to devote more time to our homeschooling!  I'm already planning some fun things and projects that I've wanted to do, but have not had time for. 

Most of all, I'm just excited to see what the Lord has in store for our family!  It's a little scary stepping out in faith and trusting that He will provide, but I know that He will!

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer 29:11
