Long time, no blog......



So, I'm the world's worst blogger. Officially. My last post was in August?!?! I have missed blogging and the entire book blog community, but unfortunately life sometimes just gets in the way. By life I mean cute new babies (see pic below) and my three amazing, but time consuming, big kids. So between a nightmarish pregnancy (9 months of morning sickness. Serious torture!), homeschooling, newborns, sleep deprivation, and planning for our long awaited move (to Texas y'all!!) life is C.R.A.Z.Y. I haven't read a book that wasn't filled with colorful illustrations in months, but today I discovered nursing my squishy little guy is the perfect time to pick up a book. I'm hesitant to say I'm back, but I want to be. I need to be. I need to immerse myself in something that didn't grow in my uterus. I love my kids, don't get me wrong, but it is so easy to lose yourself when you're a mother. & well I need something to keep my post-partum brain from turning to mush.

I lost my domain so I'm hoping switching back to my blogspot address works. If you made it through this rambling stream of thoughts, I thank you.

Mr. Squish who kept me nauseous and suffering from vertigo for the better part of a year.


Worth every single dry heave ;)

  2. Darling! Welcome back!!!

    I use to love checking my blogs during feeding time.

    As a woman that had 2 months of morning sickness, I can relate and man do I feel for you.

    *hugs*

    He is a beauty!

    And homeschooling? You go girl. You're my hero.

    How old are your older kids?

  3. Thanks everyone :)

    Yep we homeschool 2 of the 4 kiddos. My older kids are 13, 8 & 6. The teen wants to brave the public school system so we are giving it a try. The elementary age love homeschool so I've been busily organizing our curriculum for the year :)

    2. This is our 3rd year, but first time going the traditional route. We used the virtual school through our state the last 2 years which laid everything out for us & even sent all the supplies. It was ok, but very structured with lots of busy work. It didn't create the learning environment I wanted for my family. I'm hoping to have more fun while learning this year & not be glued to a computer screen or a worksheet. Thankfully our new home state (Texas) is very homeschool friendly :)
