New Directions

As you may be able to tell, I rarely write on this blog anymore. It nags at me, calls me, haunts me and mocks me! I do have a few very good reasons! Nonetheless, it plagues me.

One reason is, I am a homeschooling mother of 3 students and 2 preschoolers. This reason is plain to see and very easy to understand. What it boils down to is, I have very little time. Updating a quick status on facebook seems to be more my speed these days.

I realized today, though, that there is a deeper, more prohibitive reason. I am going to be honest. This blog just doesn't apply to me anymore. It does, but it doesn't. Let me explain!

I have a BUCKETLOAD of boys. This cannot be denied. However, I also have a beautiful, pink, sweet smelling, feminine daughter who has brought so much girliness to my life, and herein lies my problem. I don't just identify myself as a boy mamma anymore.

Over the last year, I have inexplicably also become a girl mamma. I put in barretts. I match socks and clothes, I have even bought some really beautiful girly headbands for my little sweetie. This transition happened without any effort, and amazes me as much as it might be amazing you!

I also have found that I have taken more care on my own accessorizing. I have bought matching shirts and necklaces for myself, and have, in general, reconnected with my inner girl!

The desire to blog is still great in me, and as I pondered this while getting dressed this morning, it came to me. Like a voice from the heavens I heard: Start a different blog that more accurately reflects what is going on in my life today! (Okay, so I'm a slow learner. This seems so obvious, I admit.) So, here is your notification of change of venue!

Starting today, you will find my thoughts, dreams, ideas and adventures recorded at www.bucketloadsofblessings.blogspot.com. I look forward to more regularly downloading my experiences in this crazy, busy, fun life I am living! So come by the new site every now and then and catch up. Leave your thoughts if you wish, and join in the discussions! You are always welcome!

See you soon at our new home!
