It's been a while...

It's been quite a while since I have blogged. I gave it up this summer when I didn't feel like I had time to breathe between swimming lessons, play dates, preparing meals and who knows what else I was doing.  I didn't feel like i could justify taking time to blog when I didn't feel like I was giving my children enough of "me."

So much has gone on in the past few months that I will never be able to catch up on it all but I've restructured how I am spending my time, what my actions are saying about my priorities in life, and what I value.  I've missed reflecting on my parenting journey and sharing the silly and mundane things that happen in our lives with the people I love.

So... I am going to give this a trial period ... see if I can fit it in and have this be a little something I do for myself that forces me to slow down and work on absorbing the moments that pass by so quickly when you have young ones under foot.  I have a few things in particular that I want to share so hopefully in the next week or two you'll see some pictures and read about our magnetic chore charts that have changed our days, a motherhood retreat that I hope will change our lives, and the cutest little Halloween Witch, Fairy and Cowboy there ever was!!
