life and blogging and lessons and…
Lately I haven’t had nearly as much time to dedicate to writing. Some of you who check in here regularly have mentioned noticing I’m not posting as often. Although I have a list of blog posts I’d like to write, I simply have less free time. My day job, the one that pays the bills, is not only exhausting my creative energies (in a very good way), it’s also sucking up much of my free time and consuming me physically as well. I’m running on caffeine and an average of 5-6 hours of sleep per night. It won’t last forever, but at least the next 2-3 months will be at this same pace.
This blog, I love this blog. I love writing and connecting with all of you. I love helping people through my experiences and I adore meeting new people through this little corner of the internet. So I won’t make apologies for not writing as much. People change and evolve… Lord knows this blog has changed direction and evolved quite a bit since it began 5 years ago.
On the way home this evening, for the first time, I thought I’d ask my children, “What are some ways I set a good example for you today?”
I was sincerely curious to see what they had to say. This is what I heard:
“You set a good example when you let that man go ahead of us in the grocery store line.”
“You set a good example when you apologized to those people at the restaurant because we were being too loud.”
“You set a good example when you let us choose special food at the grocery store.”
I still love my iPhone. And one of the big reasons why is Instagram. You’ve heard me gush about this nifty little app (did you see my hourly photo challenge post?!) and nearly each day I’m inspired to take pictures and share them.
For today’s post I chose 15 of my fave pics from the past couple of months. Because I love them… and sharing is fun.
It’s been two years since our family experienced the split of divorce. In the beginning it was very difficult for the children to understand what was happening, express their feelings and manage the difficulties that come with transitioning between two homes. One of the many things I did to help them was to seek out age-appropriate books on divorce.
In this short video, I feature four of the books I’ve found particularly helpful for my children.
I am now a part of the club of people who have had an EpiPen injection.
