WHAT! Has it really been 7 years?

So, I was talking to my husband and mentioned our blog. He response was simply, "I didn't know we had a blog."  😳. 

In his defense the blog I started almost 10 years ago was more for me, than anyone else.  If you take a look at the past posts they are a bit cheesy, but really, they are more like a dairy than an editorial meant for public view.  I stopped blogging when I left my job in 2013, and really hadn't thought much of it until recently.  

So what has happened in the past seven years?  Ehh, not much.  I did have Maggie in 2016 and she has rocked our world.  She is a firecracker, and I hope and pray she keeps that spunk all her life.  She will be so much fun as an adult if she can just not let this big old mean world push it away.

After Maggie's birth I stopped working outside the home, and started homeschooling the kiddos. (We have gone back and forth between Home school and Public School.)  Home Schooling takes an amazing amount of energy and patience, but my favorite part is simply letting my kids sleep in, (so we can stay up at night playing and watching sporting events and other non essential like things).  The girls are growing and changing every day, and I love being here to help guide them.

I teach art to Preschoolers once a week, and run an art class through our CO-Op for High Schoolers. Art has always been such a spot of joy in my life, and I am really grateful when I get to talk about art for an afternoon.

COVID 19 started almost 2 months ago and we have been well.  The isolation has been hard on all of us, but I am glad we have stayed healthy. My husband still has a job, and technology allows us to still see family and friends, really it hasn't been nearly as hard as it could have been, and I can't put a price tag on remaining healthy.

So, I guess 7 years doesn't take too long to sum up.  
Maybe it will be another 7 years before I post again, but Maybe not.
