The me of four years ago, in the infancy of this blog, would have embarked on a lengthy explanation of what has been happening in my absence, most notably the heartaches and struggles. You would have an earful, as this has been one of the most painful and difficult years of my life.
Though undeniably a major part of my nature to document all things, this is not who I want to be. There are countless cliched analogies about growing pains and death to self... >Insert them here.< Although I may discover that blogging is just no longer fruitful for me, I need to retain a medium in which I can write.
"Some day I will be able to slow down and just do that thing I've wanted to do for so long..." Apply this thought to just about every season of my life. With time whizzing by at the speed of light, it's hard to slow down enough to just breathe and be thankful for what is. This is where I just do.
I want to be able to look back at this space and recall the thrill of wonder on my children's faces when they learn something new or discover the connection between study and real life. I want to remember the exhausted, yet satisfied feeling that comes from getting the garden cleaned up for winter or the house deep cleaned for the holidays. I do want to document our ongoing crusade to simplify our life and get Back to Basics. I want to share inspiration, and joy, and light for those who sometimes struggle [like me] in the darkness...and sometimes ridiculous stories from the trenches of motherhood and a favorite recipe or two.
Stay-at-home motherhood can be isolating and overwhelming...I want this to be a place of peace and encouragement for any who happen by here.
