Do you know how long it has been since I’ve written? Of course you do! It’s been far too long. It’s about time I break the blog silence, isn’t it?

Well, hello there, stranger. Let’s get reacquainted!

We’ve had a pretty busy few months. Summer came and went with the wind, or so it seems. While I never intended to take a blogging break. It was apparently exactly what I needed. I’ve spent the past few months living our life and trying to cling to the days as they’ve come and gone. We’ve traveled quite a bit this summer and any days spent at home have really been full of laundry, cleaning, organizing, and trying to figure out why those three things need to be repeated as frequently as they do.

Our family went on a beach vacation the first week of September and shortly after coming home we began our new school year. I can hardly believe it, but this year sees me teaching a 6th grader, a 4th grader, a 3rd grader, a 1st grader, a K4 little one, and keeping a very mobile 6 month old entertained! I’ll have a post coming up very soon to tell you all about the tools we’ll be using for this school year.

Want to keep up with us when the blog is quiet?

When things are quiet around here you can usually get filled in on what’s new over on my Facebook page. I also actively post on Instagram, you’re welcome to come follow our adventures over there.

I am also a contributing writer over at the 2:1 Conference blog. Did you realize that there was an encouragement section over there? Be sure to tune in for words of encouragement from the writing team that I am humbled to be a small part of.

What’s coming up?

Friends, I have so much to share with you (and quite a bit of bloggy housekeeping to do).

Remember when we took our family to Disney last fall? I still need to tell you how we survived and ENJOYED our road trip down and back in a big RV, and about how incredibly our time in Disney was blessed.

Back in February, dear friends and family gathered to bless us with a rainbow-baby shower. I can’t wait to finally tell you about the sweet and precious ways they helped me prepare for Annalise’s arrival.

I know you’ve all ‘met’ our Annalise, but I have yet to share more in depth about how her birth went. It was our first hospital birth since our oldest boys, and my first planned induction.

We are quickly drawing near to Miranda‘s 2nd birthday, and I want to express to you what the grief journey looks like now, when two year have passed and a new sibling has joined the family.

…and so much more.

Often when I have a lot to write it is difficult to sift through my thoughts and get posts written, but I’d love to know what you’re looking forward to read about.

If you’ve missed hearing from me, would you take a moment to comment about what you’d like to hear more about?
