It's one of those things that can happen so easily in life. You start something in hopes of it becoming a part of your "new life" and then slowly it gets put on the burner to simmer and then the back burner and then your forget all about it and then 3 years later you, remember you have a blog!
Kind of like exercising (and so may other things I want to do and start but just really don't have the time for it at the end of the day. I have started so many things and have done so many things, but have also had so many of those things fizzle out when there truly just wasn't enough time during the day.
I know I'm not alone in trying to find a balance with things that must get done and all those things I want to do. There's just so much to learn, to teach, to do and see. I have a never-ending, and always growing, list of things I want to make and another of the things I want to do with the kids. I see something on Pinterest (yes, still addicted) and like so many others, I put it on the list. As the list gets longer, other things get pushed to the side or forgotten. But at the end of the day, my family wins.
My little family is everything to me. I have two (yes, I have been gone long enough to have another little one!) beautiful little spirited, high maintenance, loving children, and an extremely stubborn dreamer of a husband. They all require A LOT of my attention, ALL DAY LONG. For so many other moms out there, they wouldn't want to deal with the constant neediness, but I don't have a problem with it. I know it will not last forever. The kids will get older and spend more time on their own, will one day move out and have families on their own. *tear* I do get irritated, lose my patience and lose my temper at times. I am not proud of that and I know I am far from perfect. There are days I don't think I do anything right and ask God if He truly thinks I am capable to be in this life. I am a Christian. I know that I will never be perfect. I can strive to be as perfect as I am created to be, but just like everyone else I will make mistakes. And I'm ok with that, I accept this "flaw" and just try to move forward and learn from the things and ways I screw up.
Anyways, on the top of my list to do at least weekly is this little blog of mine. I vow to TRY and keep it up and not put it on the back burner again!
Warning, these are a few topics you can expect to see on here this year:

~successes and failures in gardening/farming
~Homeschooling (we plan to start pre-K this fall)
