I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for sticking with me on this ol' blog. Some of you have been reading for a long time and I really appreciate your friendship. Many of you are my family and personal friends and I also appreciate the love and support from each of you. Blogging can be hard some times. I feel lame when I compare mine to others and I feel guilty for not posting often enough or good enough content, but at the end of the day, I am trying to remember that this is
my little (
very little) corner of the internet. It's my place to share pictures of my kids, write out my feelings on motherhood and life and even sometimes share recipes. I don't have a huge following and I don't support my family through this hobby of mine, but I do really appreciate the support from each of you... and for also giving me a "grain of salt" when I say stupid things and sometimes don't articulate myself very well. When I go back and read some of the things that I said many years ago (and sometimes only a year ago), I cringe. I am growing. I am learning.

It sometimes feels like blogging is getting left in the dust. Most of the time I just share my journal entries on Instagram because it's quick and easy. I don't feel like I have to write out a long post and I get the feedback on there that I sometimes feel like I don't get on my blog. If I'm being honest, it feels good to get "likes" and comments on a picture I post. I hope that when I look back at the way I've documented my life, I'll be happy to have more than three words to caption a picture.
So, thanks for reading and thanks for being my friends. I so appreciate all the kind words, thoughts and prayers. I wish I could hug you all (or high-five you, if that's more attune to your comfort level). Cheers!
I'm glad you're still blogging - I gave mine up a couple of years ago and still miss it from time to time. Instagram is great but sometimes I just want to write thoughts down that have no pictures, you know? Anyway, your blog is a lovely place to visit and I'm excited to see what you do to make your home just as beautiful. (p.s. I'm just someone who found your blog one day - and I live in Kent.)
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanelle! Thanks for your kind words. How fun to "meet" another Seattleite! :)
ReplyDeleteDear child,
ReplyDeleteYou are the mother of three babies and you and your wonderful David have taken on a huge task and are handling it beautifully. Please be kind to yourself. This is all part of your journey and all shall be well.
Thank you GrammaAnne! :)
DeleteI love your blog. I get a lot of inspiration here. I love your thoughts on motherhood and life in general. We are close to buying a home right now and i´m curious to see how yours will turn out. I really think you have great taste, so i might get some inspiration on interior design as well. :-) Cut youself some slack, youre doing a good job.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany, Dusica
Dusica, you leave the best comments. Thank you so much for reading my blog and for saying that. I get inspired by so many other "better" bloggers out there so when someone says that my blog "inspires them", it's such a compliment! :) Good luck with the house hunt - it was a stressful time for us but here's hoping that Germany's housing market isn't as tough as Seattle's. Xoxo
DeleteI think you're awesome. I've learned much myself from reading your blog. I feel like you're such a kind and loving and appreciative mother and wife and I strive to be all those things as gracefully as you do (sometimes it's really difficult). You know you're a child of God and that it holds so much value and love. I love to read your blog, you're like a sweet friend out in space, and I want you to know you are amazing! -Em
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much, Em! Your kind words brought tears to my eyes. I really appreciate the love and support! Hugs!
